	Albert Enters Plea of Guilty and Is Dismissed by NBC
		The guilty plea was the surprise conclusion to a humiliating public ordeal for Albert, a sports-crazed grocer's son who rose to become one of the most prominent announcers in the country.
		The woman with whom Albert was involved complained that he bit her back and forced her to perform oral sex in a hotel room after he had broadcast a Knicks game on Feb. 12 in Landover.
		On cross-examination, Albert's lawyer, Roy Black, who in 1991 won an acquittal for William Kennedy Smith in a Florida rape case, had only limited success trying to portray the woman as a liar who had actually enjoyed the sexual activities she claimed she later found objectionable.

	washingtonpost.com: Marv Albert Report
		Over the objections of prosecutors who said Marv Albert should go to jail because his courtroom apology for biting a Vienna woman wasn't sufficiently remorseful, an Arlington judge ruled yesterday that the former NBC sportscaster's assault conviction will be dismissed if he stays out of trouble for a year.
		If Albert is not arrested or indicted and he continues the mental health counseling he has already started, in one year he would be able to say he has never been convicted of a crime.
		Albert, meanwhile, thanked his fans for their support and said he hopes to go back to broadcasting.

		Perhaps most disturbing (to Albert's side, anyway) were indications that jurors weren't ready to hang the "Yesss!" man when he short-circuited the proceedings and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of assault and battery.
		One member of the Virginia jury said she "still had some reasonable doubt." The proceedings were damaging to both sides, she said--hurting the credibility not just of Albert (portrayed in court as a wig-crowned, back-biting, panty-wearing, garter-sporting lover)--but of his accuser.
		There also was speculation Friday that Albert brought the trial to an abrupt end because he was afraid that more mud was about to be slung his way.

		Marv helped to change the course of public thought awhile back when he got himself into this little jam for allegedly engaging in some rough sex with a woman who didn't appreciate her back being used as a teething ring.
		Obviously, if Marv Albert was that kinky, and even THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES had a little bit of Fellini's Satyricon in him, then everybody had to have some kind of strange sexual appetite.
		But because Marv Albert made us realize that EVERYBODY is capable of something weird, I completely believe that President Clinton would STILL have been exonerated, even if he had been accused of being one of these gerbil jockeys.
