I sometimes imagine a scenario ten or fifteen years in the future where the CFB super-league that most of us believe is inevitable finally forms and Illinois is left out. We then align with other former P5 cast-offs who missed the cut to form a second-tier minor league with a manageable number...

Nobody is trying to resolve this case by offering the accuser compensation while the criminal case is ongoing. That’s wrong and I can explain why it’s wrong. In civil litigation, there is a rule of evidence that says a party cannot introduce evidence at trial concerning the other party’s...

Yes, I’m sure Rob Lang, Steve Beckett, Mark Goldenberg, Zoe Spector, Tom Horscroft, and Mark Sutter, all reputable attorneys at the top of their profession, with very lucrative practices where they represent thousands of clients, are going to risk all that, risk destroying the reputation they...

Maybe I don’t understand the line of reasoning being expressed here, but a criminal defense attorney is not going to negotiate with an accuser to reach a deal to drop charges in exchange for compensation. That’s called witness tampering. It’s very illegal. There’s a world of difference between...

I don’t think anyone has said these opinions are problematic. To be fair, who here has said that they think this a strong or compelling case against TJ based on the information we have heard so far? Who has said there should be condemnation now and that we should rush to judgment? I don’t...

Yes I know this is hard to believe but people who commit sex crimes will often do so when there are no witnesses and will do things that won’t leave behind incriminating physical evidence. I guess they did not cover sex predator behavior patterns in your child and adolescent psychology classes...

Since 04-05 pointed out to me that Kansas does not require a grand jury indictment, I have to back off my assertions about charging the misdemeanor. Apparently in Kansas the defendant can demand a preliminary hearing or waive it but in either case the prosecution can go to trial on nothing but a...

I see. I was not aware. That actually explains some of this. That’s the problem trying to make sense out of proceedings in other jurisdictions that you’re not familiar with. I don’t understand what this Kansas DA is doing. It’s so peculiar to me for a prosecutor to drop a serious felony charge...

Too much here to respond to individually. Instead, here is a long and tedious legal post that I would recommend skipping or blocking if you are bored to death with this stuff by now. (1) All that has been filed is a felony complaint. The purpose of the felony complaint is to commence the case...

Not just two pick-sixes, but a 97 yard pick six and a 99 yard pick six. That’s 98% of the yards you could possibly get on two pick sixes.

Sydney Brown 99 yards !!!!!!

Now we’re on to hearsay? Sorry but we’re way out ahead of ourselves and vastly overthinking this. We know close to nothing about the actual allegations, but from the limited things we have heard from credible sources, an educated guess can be made. A woman reported that she and TSJ had an...

Typically I would not call someone out on a message board for posting some opinion (to which we are all entitled) but I think it is misleading and in fact quite irresponsible for a person who purports to be a professional psychologist to state “I’m a child/adolescent psychologist and I...

You are a child and adolescent psychologist and it is your professional opinion that 75% of the children and teens who have reported to you that they are victims of sexual abuse were lying about it and false accusing someone who did nothing wrong? That is . . . some kind of statement indeed...

Police reports and other investigative material are not public records. Nobody outside law enforcement sees them until they are provided to the defense through the discovery process. You can make a Freedom of Information Law request for police reports and such, but only after the prosecution...
