Thank you for your summation. You sound like an experienced close relative of mine working on the other side of the justice system. As a PD he once said, "Everybody lies to me. The DA, the accuser, officer, and my client. I have to decide what to work with" I thought that was pretty funny.I'm not sure average folks realize the day to day banality of some aspects of law enforcement and the legal system. Where people become cogs (or 'delta' and 'pi' in shorthand in file notes) and rushing to get a case to a prosecutor is the order of the day. Or slow walking if you don't want it to be charged. Plus you've got local unspoken rules and personal relationships and all the unconscious (or conscious) bias that occurs when day after day after day you only see the bad part of society and not the good, and it starts to color your overall worldview.
I would *never* have charged a case as flimsy as this. But I bet some prosecutors would, and have. I would have asked so many more questions, requested so many more follow-ups, and yes, I likely would have done it with the knowledge that this was not an 'ordinary' defendant, knowing full well that in other circumstances, again, prosecutors in the same position might not do the same due diligence.
Something ain't right here. And I hate to join in the speculation as much as anyone else but man...it's hard to defend anyone connected with the investigation and decision-making with regard to this criminal case.
Wedding Cake by Mrs. Lard.My offspring had a circumcision performed by a "Dr. Peters." Not kidding.
You were told wrong. He can come back and use.I’ll have to go find my post where I asked if there was a world where TSJ sued Illinois. I was told no.
But I’m not a lawyer so I guess I said “sue” but I meant challenge that his presumption of innocence or duty process ir what we is being violated.
Some entities operate on “preponderance of the evidence” rather than not “beyond reasonable doubt”.
Yep. My ex worked with him there in the early 2000s.Dr Harry Lips was my nose, ear and throat Doc at Christie Clinic in Champaign. RIP. Was a great guy.
I would say if the idea was to get national attention to the situation... it is getting there.
Shannon’s attorneys provided Yahoo Sports with several hundred pages of documents used as evidence in their lawsuit.
I had a root cancel done by Dr. Hurt. Good guy, and it didnt...too much.Dr Harry Lips was my nose, ear and throat Doc at Christie Clinic in Champaign. RIP. Was a great guy.
I thought I saw 10 days in yesterday’s thread but could use confirmation and clarification on what would happen after that period (IANAL)Let’s say the TRO is granted…How long would it last? A couple weeks? The whole season?
And acknowledge that their policy is garbage? Tough spot but my guess is they have their own interest and ego on the line and who is TSJ to challenge their authority?Haven't been able to keep up with everything (working for a living sucks), so if someone has offered this already my apologies...but do we really think the University will care if TJ wins the lawsuit? Seems like the best case for the University, pleases the no tolerance crowd in that you tried to suspend him & let's you push out any decision while the legal process plays out where you don't run into the situation where you are punishing an innocent person.

I'll say the Beckett's (the family) are fairly generous to the community. They are good people. So who knows but I I like the fact he is involved.unless Beckett, et al is doing this pro bono, try to imagine what his hourly rate , and the whole lawyer dream team is getting for this
It should get to this level, I love the UofI, but there has to be more than what the Lawrence PD/DA have used to bring charges. I like Whitman, but needs to go back to the drawing board with the “autonomous” 3 person panel. Due process is due process. This reminds me so much (and I realize it is criminal vs illigal payments) of Dean 34 years ago. When will the UofI stand up and say it’s not enough? He is innocent until proven guilty. There is no “smoking gun” here just one accuser vs an entire bar full of people. The DA can’t find one witness (or in today’s world video) showing them in proximity? Yet the UofI’s precious reputation is more important than his whole future?Oh, without a doubt. Full-court press.
Doc. Lips did surgery on my daughter's.......eye.Dr Harry Lips was my nose, ear and throat Doc at Christie Clinic in Champaign. RIP. Was a great guy.
Fortunately no one has hired Dewey Cheatum and Howe in this matterMr. Block..........Butcher. Are we still playing?
She's not excellent and I am still worried that she will deny the TRO based on her passed positions. She was mainly in family court in Springfield and then got a favor and was appointed to family court judge. She is by no means excellent. I have seen her paperwork as well. It was sloppy as it could be in family court and while a judge.Regardless of the outcome, Judge Lawless is excellent. I would expect a detailed ruling from her and I would not expect it to take a long period of time.
It puts their student athletes at the mercy of every DA and prosecutor in the entire world. That is wrong - I've said that from day 1. It's why the policy is garbage.Something has just seemed off about how this entire process has come down since it started. A dissonant intersection among a perhaps over-zealous school policy?... an over-zealous DA?... and an as yet undetermined motivation from an accuser.
No, he can fight and win. Then he can sue.If the restraining order fails does that create precedent to destroy teams using criminal accusations knowing that “code of conduct” policies always error on the side of “zero tolerance.”
The rabbit hole that would create has the potential to really do horrible things to people and teams.
I am a lawyer, and this reminds me of a truism our older namesake partner once told me when I was a young associate - that fairly often, the worst lawyer in the courtroom is the judge.She's not excellent and I am still worried that she will deny the TRO based on her passed positions. She was mainly in family court in Springfield and then got a favor and was appointed to family court judge. She is by no means excellent. I have seen her paperwork as well.

I'm guessing they don't have anything else. Off camera in the same area. I'm also thinking about how someone does this with their finger with someone who hasn't opened their legs up for it. This is definitely fishy.It should get to this level, I love the UofI, but there has to be more than what the Lawrence PD/DA have used to bring charges. I like Whitman, but needs to go back to the drawing board with the “autonomous” 3 person panel. Due process is due process.

So what if he plays and is found guilty do what UNC should have done in 2005 vacate the wins. On the other hand let’s suspend him and cost him millions based (at least on what is public now) very suspect evidence. Yep I can see why he needs to be suspended and still remain in Champaign in classes as he is such a threat. This stinks, if you think I have zero sympathy for a female who is assaulted you’re missing the point. Her time in court will come, TSJ can not regain the next 6 months which will have enormous effects on the rest of his life.
I believe until legal resolutionLet’s say the TRO is granted…How long would it last? A couple weeks? The whole season?

How everyone can't see this as obvious is mindboggling.
