if the TRO is granted, BU has no choice but to play him or quit coaching
I’m not assuming she DOES, but that’s all we (and the DIA) have to go on right now. And we shouldn’t penalize Terrance based on hypothetical evidence, JMO.
Respect your opinions but I think you are looking for a hail mary here. Best chance to play this year is the case being dropped/settled. Otherwise, what are the other options? If TRO is granted before court case is resolved, I think highly unlikely BU plays him. Waiting for this to play out in court is likely not going to be resolved in a timely manner either. Perhaps there could be some compelling new evidence that comes out that encourages the university panel to reconsider their decision, but given the information that has been released so far, this may be wishful thinking.
There's certainly a reasonable question of fact there. Evidence that the UI pointed to includes the fact that the manager does not report to Alexander and that as an hourly employee, he did not report the time and was not paid for it. TSJ, who apparently previously had been in an accident due to fatigued driving, was going to be doing a total of 12 hours of driving in a very short time in order to return to C-U at 8 a.m. Sunday for an NIL event. Alexander made the reasonable mature-person suggestion that he get someone to help with the driving.
He is a legend in his own mind..................he really really is.............
Kinda seems like the LPD did a really lazy job of gathering evidence in the first place, which then led the DA, that ran her whole campaign for DA on cracking down on sexual assaults, to press charges SO that the LPD would be forced to collect more evidence.
Perish the thought!
I’m sure Alexander and Whitman will be happy to welcome TSJ back after being cross examined by his representatives at the PI hearing.
I think most of us, myself included understand this isn't the end, but I think my optimism has gone down (and possibly others) because it appears the panel is reliant on the charges for their determination. So if the TRO gets shut down, we'll need something additional to happen outside the university. Maybe it will in the upcoming court dates, but if the Lawrence DA holds their ground, which seems much more likely than not at this point, I think things start getting much more difficult. As I said, I hope I'm wrong, and you have a lot of knowledge behind the scenes, but from my own experiences and knowledge with the legal system, it doesn't breed a whole lot of confidence TSJ will get a fair shake.
I'm with you- I don't see how it would be remotely possible to bring this case to trial at this point. I think the problem is that if this is as you say, and what the evidence thus far has been pointing to, if a DA is either stubborn or vindictive enough, they have no issue dragging this out as long as possible before dropping it, and well after the end of the season.
In a normal situation it never gets filed as a felony
Crappy cases go to trial every day. I've seen some where the jury deliberates less than 30 mins. One was 10 minutes which means they walked into the jury room, took a quick vote, signed the guilty or not guilty form, grabbed their personal belongings and walked back into court. Cases are not dismissed by a judge just because the evidence is lacking (that possibility is only at the PH stage with the prosecutor unable to get over the low hurdle of probable cause).
