Doesn't sound like this case is going to go quietly away like was hoped.

Have to say I hated the idea of Coleman on UCONN or UNC. Still would hate him on UNC, but the entertainment value of Coleman and Hurley together has me reconsidering my aversion to his transferring to UCONN.

Players like Ivisic are less of a professional than a lot of college players are today. They just get paid expenses.

Just when we were so sure he was Tyler.

As a lawyer, I have always been excluded. But years ago the wife of a lawyer colleague of mine had the opportunity to serve on a jury - with the Chief Justice of the State of Alaska Supreme Court. I think both lawyers must have been afraid to use a preemptory challenge on him.

Problem is that the PD didn't do any real investigation until much later, and then probably only talked to the people who were with TSJ and the victim that night. Doubt a bartender is going to remember how many drinks some random young woman had months later. You might be able to check her or...

What if the DNA was only identifying as male?

Who do you want making the decision then, if not a jury?

As a lawyer that has never tried a rape case (my only criminal case was defending an 11 yo for driving without a license - got him off BTW), I concur 100%.

I don't think it works like that - just because a woman has consensual sex with two men (whose DNA is present) is not a defense that sex with a third male (whose DNA is also present) was consensual. Maybe if the victim cannot identify the male (I.e. she was drugged and unconscious), the...

I think everyone needs to slow their role on this until you read the motion and the expert report. These values stated in 1.3 and 1.4 are according to TSJ's team at levels so low as to be inconclusive and possibly the result of contamination. It seems likely that TSJs team can keep out DNA...

I'm trying to catch up, but, if someone hasn't beaten me to it, I have to ask "Is sixth out of 18 so bad? Seems as good as top 4 out of 10 or 12 or almost with 14, which was always kind of the standard as to what a good season was.

What is his explosiveness rating?
