As I've stated earlier in this thread I don't assume to know how every victim would act in this situation, but this accuser has effectively told us how she would act in this situation. She claimed in her testimony that she was "terrified" (which is inconsistent with earlier statements at...

Exactly my thoughts.. I am not a female and I've never been SA'd so maybe I just have no idea what kind of thoughts run through a person's head in this situation, but if I were truly traumatized in the way this alleged victim claims then there is a precisely 0% chance that I go back to the same...

Really enjoying reading the UK thread on Riley. They're losing it. Here's my fav comment from over there so far: "I was a fan of the Illini when I lived there many years ago (watched Kenny Battle play for both NIU and UofI). It was the only real basketball program in the state once DePaul fell...

Honestly I'm not super hung up on this point. I knew plenty of girls (and guys for that matter) who liked to go out to bars for the social aspect but not really drink that much in college. I think MN was 17 (?) at the time of this alleged incident, and I'm assuming the age of admittance to bars...

But has he truly been convicted or plead guilty to anything as of yet? The 2022 Texas case he plead nolo contendere, which in my non-attorney understanding, means he didn't admit guilt, just agreed to pay the corresponding fine. The 2023 Kansas charges were dropped by the DA, for reasons...

I view this more as an example of a larger problem with the justice system. If I were in the shoes of either the victim or the defendant, and all the attorneys agree to a trial date, then one of them later says "oh, now I'm too busy and my colleague is incapable of handling our other cases so I...

I noticed that this board immediately changed from much doom & gloom to much gleefulness upon the KJ commitment. Kind of wild how one guy silenced the naysayers here. Just my humble observation.

Whoa, I read this same thing on Reddit the other day about Rivers Cuomo. This must mean that they are really the same person! Who would've thunk it

LMAO what a muddled & weak response. This case really feels like a house of cards. DA office are sweating through their clothes to keep someone from bumping the table - and doing a terrible job at that - because the whole thing is about to collapse.

Agree - zero chance college athletes will be independent contractors. To make that work you'd have to have them paying for all their own expenses - jersey's, travel, coaches/trainers, rental of facilities, etc.. In addition, the school could not direct the athletes in their "duties" in any way...

If anyone is dumb or a moron here, it is the DA and local police/authorities who are apparently terrible at their jobs and have mishandled this case from the start. We may truly have a young victim who was sexually assaulted by someone at that bar, along with an innocent man with a golden future...

So are you saying that the defense's motion to compel discovery (posted on page 7 of this thread) is unlikely to succeed? because it seems like this is exactly what the defense is trying to get admitted.

Appreciate the explanation here, and again IANAL, but sounds like you may be. I guess I would think the line of questioning in my (maybe fairy land) scenario could be a little less direct yet go a long way to introduce significant doubt into the minds of the jury. i.e. questioning Morris might...
