AJ Johnson/Michael Williams Case (merged)

[Sandvol]

This one may be harder to prove unless once again phones and camera's were used. Only other thing would be the other victim not charging has anything useful to help the victims accusation.

As mentioned on the board the other day there are numerous witnesses and cell phone records. It will probably come down to the prosecution witness accounts standing up to cross examination. Once the defense has a chance to depose the witnesses we will see if they try to go for a plea.

NFL career is pretty much over before it started no matter what - Goodall will find a way to keep him out

CFL for AJ then

 

[BigOrange15]

I believe one has to surrender to authorities when indicted by a grand jury. Disagree?

Wasn't referring to you.

Where do these college kids get the money for bail when charged with serious crimes? Does the university, athletic department, boosters, etc post it? You know damn well most athletes nor their families have that kinda money on hand.

How does a girl get "tard"?

Did you mean "feathered by a tard"?

I guess the girl is a tard:wink:

Agree. No matter what happens. His career is now over.

Well its ten percent generally so thats not all that much.

It does not seem like many of you feel sorry for the victim........

 

[MFL]

​

Even more so if the rumor of a cell phone video is true. Delete doesn't mean it's gone.

As we know from the Vandy trial. After the verdict all the jurys said it was a slam dunk after viewing the video. Makes you wonder why bother to even go to trail with that evidence. I guess the defense attorney got to make money.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

But Sab said he was innocent.

Literally spewed bs all over twitter saying only Michael Williams did it.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

So if and when he goes to court, and if he is found not guilty? Will he get back the money he posted for bail???

I'm sure someone with legal expertise can help me out here.

 

[bigsteve13]

So how does this work, if he's found innocent, does he get his $40k back? How sh*** is that? Not saying he's guilty or innocent, just making an observation

 

[Volballfan]

I agree. If they are found guilty though, mark my words, all the ones praising AJ will be the first to condemn him. That's the way Volnation rolls.

I guess LG could answer that

 

[orangeluvr]

Young men athletes or not can learn a lesson form this unfortunate case. :sad:

Anyone that believes a word that clown says needs their head examined.

If I am not mistaken when one post bail it is only 10% of the amount requested....so $4000. If he skips town now the bondsman owes $40k to the court. not sure the process if found innocent, think he loses the $4k

 

[gunner]

Headline reads that AJ was released on $40,000 bond.



Not sure exactly what it means, but I figured it was somewhat relevant.

We have discussed this at length on here. The link below should help many understand our legal system regarding a criminal arrest.

There is a reason its going to a grand jury. I don't hate it for AJ, I hate it for the girl.

Considering what went down at Vandy along with the stuff that's been going on in the league, there's no way in hades that this wasn't going to trial. This is just a tragic situation for all involved in which there will be no real winners.

 

[TCbodybuilder]

How many of those players are Butch Jones guys?

R. Jones, Williams (who joined as a walkon in '13), and the other potential freshman player in the story by the Tennessean were Butch guys.

Johnson committed to Kiffin before decommitting when Kiffin left and then finally recommitted to Dooley.

Lane committed to Dooley.

Bondsman keeps the 4k

 

[joevol33]

I think too many people don't understand the legal system

While I agree, you do understand to be indicted there had to be enough actual evidence of the crime for that to happen. I'm not saying he's guilty, but there would be no indictment without something. Or things have changed.

Yes, he should minus the fees set by the court and bonding company.

He most likely only had to put up a small percentage of the 40k and the bonding company posted the rest.

 

[vols 30]

Its ridiculous how misinformed people are about how this whole situation works. Holy cow.

I think 99% of people that are charged are guilty. At least that's what I say when selected for jury duty.
