Maybe an attorney has some insight regarding why, in the Complaint, one witnesses' name is given with both full first name and full last name. However, the other witnesses' name is given by initials. Did one witness consent to the DA to give the full name in the Complaint?

Wishful thinking here: The second charge is there to provide a route to a quick plea bargain where TJ pleads to a misdemeanor, pays a fine, and returns to the Assembly Hall in short order.

Not likely, but also not impossible.
The fact that this made it to national news and TJS was already "lawyered up" and ready to take this to trial, leads me to believe that a quick plea bargain went bye bye a while back.

I'm sorry what? You want either:

1) TJ to take a deal when hes innocent just to drastically alter his life just so he can play half season of non-pro basketball
Or
2) TJ to take a deal when hes guilty just so he can play half season of non-pro basketball

Where is your priority. I'm disgusted. This is bigger than basketball.

Regarding merit of a charge, what is the threshold? Can I just walk into the police office and make a crime claim and get someone arrested? Doesn't it seem there was some effort to establish a viable case here before a charge was filed, especially since it says they all knew about this since September?
Merit of charge….. from my years in law enforcement they throw big at the wall so you bid down or buy out. He will get assault if that even happened

I cannot comprehend that this actually happened. I cannot comprehend how and when this actually happened. I cannot comprehend how the university knew of these allegations and just pretended like nothing was wrong this whole time. What are we actually doing here?
Is it possible that ICON continued to direct dollars to him? Did the DIA inform ICON?

Granted I don't know Terrance personally but if you were to tell me that a NCAA player would get get charged with rape I would put Terrance in the bottom 5% of active players. This is completely anecdotal and based on his demeanor, presentation and personality. He doesn't strike me as an aggressive/agitated/impulsive type. That what makes this all so odd to me.

The tragedy to this promising basketball season is irrelevant in contrast to the tragedies facing Shannon and the accuser.

Horrified by the reaction of many Illini fans. Immediately attacking the assistant district attorney in Lawrence in a desperate attempt to undermine the credibility of the charge is shocking.

My hope is that Shannon is innocent, but until then he should be treated like every other person charged with rape.
You mean be given the presumption of innocence?

Enough with the holier than thou attitude please. Of course this is bigger than basketball. Of course the impact on the lives of those involved is devastating.

But talking about the impact to the team, and scenarios where he might come back earlier than expected, are entirely appropriate on an Illinois sports forum. If it offends so much feel free to take this to another form of media.

I've been hoping to see a post from one of our insiders saying how Brad/the university share the same belief as TSJ and his lawyer that he's innocent..

But Indy lville mad 0440 have all posted without saying anything of the sort.

Hope it's due to a lack of information to this point and not conflicting beliefs
I know 0440 posted it and I think lville did too stating simply “TSJ is a good kid”. I may be reading into that too much, but what I gathered from it is that there is a clear presumption that our guy did nothing wrong in the legal sense.

We may never know the truth. I watched this unfold in Knoxville, TN for AJ Johnson as a senior linebacker for Tennessee. Charged with rape in 2014 or 2015. Wasn’t acquitted until 2018. Damage was already done.

We literally have bozos here talking about taking plea deals, wondering why victim of the case's full name isn't revealed, or when he can come back to the team. Yes its obvious its bigger than basketball. But some people apparently need a reminder.
