[QUOTE="ChuckM, post: 1371592, member: 654333"] You're right, guarantee was too strong of a word, but from what I've read this should have gone to trial and I would bet he would have been found guilty. But go back to why the prosecutor decided not to press charges against him. [I]David Meyers, the former assistant city attorney who handled Thompson's case, told Outside the Lines he agreed to a plea deal with Walton after his defense attorney provided witness statements that contradicted Thompson's version of events.[/I] So Walton's attorney says he has some witnesses that contradict the victims statements. Well her friends, the bouncers, who kicked Walton out of the club while she was unconscious, and the police report supported her statement along with the 2 hospital visits and her concussion. So is that how you get off now? Just have your lawyer get some statements that differ from what the victim says and they'll just drop the case? [/QUOTE]
