If it can be proven it will be one of the first things that come into evidence. I have to believe that is a rumor because if provable I cannot imagine any prosecutor moving forward on a case with this limited evidence

40 years ago I tried a dui-death case and got bac results suppressed based on an alcohol swab being used before the blood draw. They actually did a test in open court in CA years ago where the deputy da was the test subject and the results were materially different. If you wait and let the swab...

Because it likely is a crapshoot. The NCAA does not have to afford due process so there is not going to be any injunction hail mary. Repot is he has hired an attorney. Could be the waiver is already denied but I think very unlikely. This is going to be a fact sensitive decision so you hire an...

As a poster previously reported this may have been in reference to a specific case where bringing false reporting charges was too aggressive. Good to see nothing has changed in Douglas County, they still know all about overly aggressive prosecutions

Why would anyone say it is not happening here. It happens all the time in domestic cases and in cases of this type. I cannot count the number of cases I have seen where the accuser changes their mind and charges are dropped. It is being looked at from the wrong side. All fair comments on if...

Read her words. "Charging survivors and victims with a crime of false reporting " False reporting is knowingly and intentionally reporting a crime knowing it is false inducing law enforcement to act on it....or something close to that. By definition they are not survivors or victims they are...

W Which is why it never happens. If you are the Shannon camp you cannot take the chance unless you are 100% certain you win which is impossible. The first priority was playing the remainder of the season. That has happened and is not going to change. Second priority is the draft which is in...

S Sounds like someone whose background was a liberal law school professor who was essentially run out the door by the university. Sexual crimes in particular are often based almost exclusively on credibility. If you are the DA you have to insure the accuser knows how important the truth is...

OSCR has plenty of due process for sure but due process takes time. There is right to a hearing then an appeal much less the DA has the accuser under wraps and she is not coming to Champaign. Finding of probable cause might be enough but the preliminary hearing is now set fot after the season

Not in this case. Promises were made to Sky. Epps turned his back on Brad and still played and Mayer never never saw a step back 3 he did not like. Last year's chemistry reminds me of a bad high school chemistry experiment

Drama and sensationalism bring the clicks. Unfortunately objectivity and fairness, especially when you have put yourself out on the limb, do not

Thank you. It is about over which is a good thing

Correct. If he wanted to plead guilty I am sure they would not turn him away

Not really. You bring criminal charges by a grand jury indictment or the DA bypassing the grand jury and filing the charges as was done here. If he had not been formally chaged there would be no initial appearance no preliminary hearing etc. Of course when you skip a grand jury you open yourself...

Yes. As soon as I saw the way the charges were pled I knew something was wrong
