Yes, I copied and pasted from a source provided by another user few pages ago.

IMHO, the DA position is a stepping stone to higher office, more money, more power, and prestige. DA’s already feel like they’re god. Once you’re god and then move higher, your ego explodes exponentially. They campaign by claiming they’re ‘tough on crime” and made the streets safe. I hope that the DA (via her assistant DA) is not using TS case to pony up and panegyrize her image!

Bonus points for use of the word “panegyrize”.

What I am posting below may have been brought up on one of the many posts or maybe portions of other posts. That being said I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the whole let's go to Kansas for a football game, out to a bar and then whatever unfolds. Why go to Kansas for a football game? I know basketball players will attend home games from time to time but I'm betting it's not every home game. He really drove there for a game? As far as I know, he has no family there. I've heard a rumor that at one point while there he was with Hunter (probably BS). But again, why go all the way to Kansas? Was it really that big a game? Then while you're there you head out to a bar? Ok, I get that no big deal but you got to know maybe not everyone in the bar would know him but even a casual Kansas Basketball fan would see a 6'7" guy who isn't on the Kansas team and ask, who is he? A recruit? Wait, that's no recruit, that's Terrance Shannon from Illinois. So we got all this going on now let's add in, he's 23. Yes that's young but he's been in college what 5 years now? Before that he was a star high school player. He ain't a babe in the woods. Plus, I thought I saw that when a player tests the NBA waters they go through interviews and even "classes" on what it's like to be an NBA player and the scrutiny you are under not to mention all the attention. He wasn't a lock as a first rounder even with how he's playing. He knew he had to be on his best behavior, whether here, Kansas or anywhere else.
He had so much at stake. More than just college and his pursuit of achievements both individual and team wise but his future, which every kid does, but a future with huge monetary opportunities involved not to mention fulfilling a dream.
It is also my understanding he is a good student and has been striving for his degree while practicing for long hours and playing games.
So, with all of this at stake, with the what we know above, why did he go to Kansas?
To me there had to be something that brought him there. A prior or long distance relationship (whether for weeks, days or hours) which could have been just through texting or whatever social media app they choose.
I can't help but think there is some background here with either directly with the victim (yes at this point she is considered a victim) or with a friend who helped connect the dots.
Heck, when I was in school we had some buddies who called and said they were having a party and there were going to be some girls and we ought to come over. We piled into a car and were out the door in minutes.....TO EASTERN ILLINOIS!!!

Is it really so far fetched that a lot of the team went to support the football team? Remember this was a big game too, a ranked Kansas vs an Illinois with expectations this year. I would think most athletes that enjoy their school would love to support other teams competing. This is purely in response to why go to Kansas.

He went to the football game to support his friend and school. He is fully entitled to do that. Is he supposed to be in a bubble like was the case when the pandemic first began? He is a college kid. He went to support his friend and school. If he went to a bar afterwards, so what? He's entitled to do that if he wants. There's nothing wrong with doing that. Where he went wrong was his decision making with a female at another school in a different state that he was never going to see again. But, it's extremely unfair to tell a kid to stay in his apartment all day everyday when he isn't going to class or on the court or in the gym
