Ray Lewis Speaks On Murder Trial And Jail Time Ray Lewis sat down with Cigar Aficionado, and between puffs spoke candidly about his experience getting accused of murdering a man outside an Atlanta nightclub and how that experience changed him. Via Cigar Aficionado : On being accused of a double murder (video of Lewis, in his own words: The Night in Atlanta): “Every moment in life is intentional. What I had to go through individually, as a person, not only prepared me for a journey that I couldn’t predict, but it prepared me to go through one of the most controversial seasons in my life.” On being charged with murder despite evidence to the contrary: “Cowards exist at every level. … People don’t understand how cruel the world really is.” On treatment while in jail: “For like the first seven, eight days I never ate anything outside of orange halves. If you saw the moldy bologna and things that they were trying to … I was not an animal. And I was not going to succumb to that. So every day [my friend] would bring me a bunch of orange halves. He snuck them in for me. … What happened to me, those 15 days, I will live for the rest of my life. And I’m OK with that.” On forgiving Paul Howard, the DA who tried to destroy his life: “I forgive him. Because my duty as a child of God is to forgive and keep moving. I pray for them. When I saw what was happening and when I saw what happened, I gave up trying to be liked. And with those guys, their names are in my Bibles, that hopefully God blesses them.” CigarAficionado
