AJ Johnson/Michael Williams Case (merged)

Trial date set in Knoxville rape case

Associated Press | March 9, 2015
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Tennessee linebacker A.J. Johnson and suspended Tennessee defensive back Michael Williams have pleaded not guilty to aggravated rape charges.

Johnson and Williams were arraigned Monday after being indicted last month by a grand jury. Trial was set for Aug. 24.

Johnson and Williams were suspended from Tennessee's football team in November, one day before Knoxville police named both as subjects of a rape investigation. Johnson has since graduated and completed his eligibility.

Williams lawyer David Eldridge insisted Monday his client is "innocent of the charges and we'll defend them in court." Johnson's lawyer also says his client is not guilty.

Good for them! Stick to their guns! I wouldn't take a plea deal either if I didn't rape someone.

I knew a (now divorced) couple who's entire plan was to have six children and live off the government while the father sold drugs. Domestic violence and the death of their second child drove them apart and ruined their scheme. Anecdotal? Yes. However, don't act like this isn't a real issue because it does not align with your political ideology.

Of course! If even one person abuses a system we must abandon it!

On a slightly different front, I know several families who agree with everything you've said here, and argue it even more vehemently, but use their food stamps every month and go to the clinic for health care.

The whole JW allegation and FSU's handling of it was a shame, disgusting LMAO fail. Now it looks like JW may be the #1 pick in this years NFL draft !! :furious3::thud:

CBJ's handling of the AJ Johnson allegation may/maybe not have been the right thing to do, but was really the only thing he could do. Hated for AJ's career to end like it did after all the good he did for the program. If found guilty he will have to pay the price.

Like it or not we put these athlete's on a pedestal and some (unfortunately) think they can get away with anything. Hours and hours are spent talking to, counseling them on what to do and not to do. For a parent of a potential recruit CBJ's no tolerance is a big plus IMHO.
 
Rape is a NO laughing matter or to be made fun of.. flat out NO means NO!!!!

Does saying NO after the incident when one changes their feelings and sobriety still mean NO? Even though before and/or during the incident they were saying YES? :unsure:

Just making sure I understand the meaning of NO.

Jameis Winston will not be the #1 pick

:hi: Might consider using a late pick if a owner. With all the baggage he brings I would be very apprehensive. Mediocre QB IMHO.
Very little competition in conference. Played against few top 10 teams in his career. Had more luck of the Irish than skill.
Major point tho ........... should not have even been playing in 2014. But what would you expect from FSU?

:huh: If you don't know what rape is ............?????????
Sounds like Clintonian verbage - " depends on how you define is ".
If a man has to rape a woman to have sex that says a lot about his character.

To me, being under the influence of anything & you're taken advantage of, that's still rape.. If the man was stupid enough to have his way with a woman that's drunk, shame on him!

No means NO..
 
Man.. I opened this thinking Butch had made a comment about JW or something. Now that I think about it.. he would never do that lol

This could have fit in an AJ thread somewhere

No means NO..

Yes true, but what about when the man is also under the influence. No his judgement becomes cloudy as well.
 
What does KNOW mean?

Maybe thats what was being said, ya know?

Attempt at rape humor? It isn't funny.. whether a man, child, senior citizen, anyone is raped whether they be under the influence of any substance or attacked, it isn't funny.....No one should make fun of rape... 6 week old little girls have been raped, think that's funny, you KNOW that?
