"The woman told police that the interaction took less than a minute and that the physical contact lasted for about 30 seconds"
Doesn't change anything for me. Illinois is not the judge and jury here, nor should they be, they make a decision based on what we know & within legal system on what you can and can't do & either way a decision comes later that you can't know with certainty. hindsight is all 20/20, if he is convicted in this case, it is the same stain either way in my mind.
Insta DMs maybe? It was previously mentioned that this girl is known for this type of thing and Bill Self told his players to stay away from her (no idea if that is true or not), so they may know who she is.
How did she "know" it was her he was even "making eye contact" with? And why would she even respond to that seeing how TSJ had another girl on his arm? whole thing seems weird to me
I think the DA would have lead with that, if it existed.
and if you look at her statement, she has him with McCullar and J Harmon. In her statement, she said TJ was with a KU player she recognized and the guy with TJ in the Instagram pic. Neither McCullar or Harmon saw anything. This whole case seems like complete BS.
Maybe he has another arm?
Thanks for your input. I guess that leaves me where I started, meaning I think the case doesn't appear strong at this point, and I'd like to believe TSJ's camp that it's ridiculous, but I'll have to wait and see before passing judgment either way.
So, you are suggesting that famous person answers one of his hundreds of DMs received that day assuming he even wastes his time on "Insta" and then texts with this unknown person about an intimate encounter? Ever watch "Cat Fishing The Show" on MTV?
That article is a joke. The reporter could have looked at some of the publicly available information. She looked at social media pics and in the filings she says that looks like him so she isn't sure. No finger is going anywhere with closed legs. This is fishy.
That would explain why he is such a good defensive player. Lol
I have seen 0 verification of this other than 1 poster here with limited post history who said he heard it second hand. It wasn't even one of our insiders. I've pretty much dismissed this as made up/inaccurate. Nobody ever confirmed it and the rumor took off from there. We aren't even allowing this on reddit anymore cause it's so fringe and unverified.
Can you elaborate, or is your statement based on things you know that are still private?
The problem is that it proves nothing of he admits it and says it was consensual. And how do you insert your finger into a standing females gg? It makes absolutely no sense. Sounds more like she may have been hurt she wasn't chosen.
The affidavit says the accuser "stated the physical contact lasted only approximately 30 seconds". It says the accuser "stated she guessed the entire encounter was approximately one minute long." It also says the accuser "stated she did not speak with the male at all, or have any other interactions with him" (emphasis mine). The 5-10 seconds timing comes from how long she claim his finger was inside her.
Opposing players would no doubt concur with this view.
If he is reinstated by the court and it is perceived that Underwood and Whitman cooked up a scheme whereby Shannon does not see the floor, the mutiny on this team will be so final that the rest of the season will be played by a pick-up team gathered from the IMPE. Not only that but if it is thought that Shannon was left out to slowly twist in the wind your ability to recruit players for the future will be so debilitating as to render Illinois basketball as irrelevant almost overnight. Kids, the eyes of the basketball community are looking to see if we are going to stand behind a team member. What an overzealous Kansas DA has to do with how we are thought of is inconsequential. If he is reinstated he will play or there will be hell to pay. Remember, all of the players that are on the roster right now can transfer without penalty. The buzzards are and will be circling to take advantage. Be careful!
"[Reporting officer] asked if there was any action of hers or statement she made that may have led the male to believe she was okay with him touching her in this way. [She] stated there was not. [She] stated she did not speak with the male at all, or have any other interactions with him."
You are correct as preponderance of the evidence goes both ways. DA Valdez is not flying out with the accuser. Most of the bickering is going to be about the authority the committee process and due process for Shannon. So we have an affidavit used as probable cause to issue an arrest warrant versus likely live witnesses, probably people who were there who will testify they saw nothing then you trot out Shannon who denies everything followed by a tearful finish saying I do not want my life ruined for something I didn't do. Credible is also called credibility
I think the latter makes sense.
