Once some established facts started coming out, the whole scenario did not make a scintilla of sense. The missing piece for me was the DA. After learning more, it does. She was in over her head from day one on this situation. You get yourself in such a situation you check your ego at the door and ask for advice from one of your deputies who has had years of experience.
0440 knows of what he speaks. The come to Jesus meeting has already taken place or is in the works. I suspect her accuser has her attorney involved. Details to work out as in no criminal charges for filing a false police report. Probably getting a release from Shannon for any civil damages he might have against her. Will take a little while, I am sure the DA is trying to put the best spin on an abysmal situation.
I would expect it is all over except the shouting. The problem is when a situation like this meets its inevitable death it is never with the same fanfare with which it was given birth. A shame he had to go through this and no, he will not be better for it.
This is encouraging. I've been of the opinion that the only way TSJ would be reinstated by the university is if both charges are dropped. I've thought that to be highly unlikely to happen at least in the near term. This gives me hope that there is actually a chance. I'm going to still try not to get my hopes up just in case.
