Character Questions on Hardy?

The Bills brass addressed the character questions regarding 2nd round draft pick James Hardy tonight, shortly after they made the selection. Hardy reportedly was charged with two misdemeanors in a 2006 domestic battery case, but the Bills say those charges were dismissed. Dick Jauron told us tonight "Our interview was good, he's a very serious young man." Apparently the problems were answered in extensive interviews the Bills did at the combine in Indianapolis and in subsequent meetings. I remember attending Hardy's news conference at the combine back in February and coming away impressed with his demeanor and intelligence.
