A lawyer for Fairley requested on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, that the player be allowed to go through a pre-trial diversion program instead of facing a trial in Alabama. Fairley was charged with driving under the influence and attempting to elude police following a May 27 arrest. (AP Photo/Tony Avelar, File)
