If he pleaded not guilty, Winslow would have been retried for the other six charges."I'm sorry. I'm just not thinking very clearly," he told the Judge Blaine Bowman at one point, according to CBS News. After entering the plea, Winslow told Tiki Barber Jersey Bowman, "I pray to God that you give me 12, and I can go home to my family as soon as po sible."Since 2003, the ex-NFLer has been found or pleaded guilty to sex crimes involving five different women. These crimes include rape, sexual battery and indecent exposure."I'm satisfied that now Mr. Winslow has been held accountable for his conduct involving five separate victims over the course of 15 years," San Diego County prosecutor Dan Owens said, according to USA Today. Winslow's attorneys claim the former tight end suffered traumatic brain injuries from playing Harry Carson Jersey football and a motorcycle accident that ended his NFL career.
