AJ Johnson Update [verdict: NOT guilty]

Truth is Knox County needs a new DA. That was a witch hunt or revenge.

If that had been my daughter, I'd been too embarrassed to "want justice".

I'd suspect the text messages destroyed reconfirmed there were conversations about the 4 hooking up. And one girl backed out. Fire away.

I know some guys that butch brought in were terrible human beings... Von Pearson being one in particular.... and what used to be the basketball team under Tyndall... but by all the accounts I have heard of AJ he is a good dude... he helped my sister out a few times... never thought he did this... he always seemed to be on the up and up... and a guy that would shoot you straight...

The main thing I've learned from this is that Volnation should be anyone's first stop for legal advice.

I mean does it really matter at this point? The damage has been done. It’s like making a murderer, where all charges were dropped, but people remember Avery as a murderer. Even though he did murder someone else since then

They were found "not guilty", not "innocent."

There is a difference. It sucks but that's the way it is.

I thought they were "innocent until proven guilty", which they weren't, so how are they not innocent?

Playing devils advocate here, but you see my point. We can't have it both ways.

We say they are "innocent until proven guilty" before the trial, then after the trial we say they are "not guilty", but not "innocent".

Doesn't pass the logic test, does it? Somehow, we argue that by having the trial itself, they are no longer innocent.

Why exactly was Von Pearson a “terrible human being”? He was similarly accused and charges were never even brought against him once it was investigated. Is there some other reason you think he’s a bad guy?

Because I know on a first hand account that he has raped more than one girl... not a too drunk to consent situation (which did happen) but that the girls yelled no multiple times, and he continued... I won’t go into details but someone needs to beat him with a shovel...

So Von is a serial rapist?

People walk around all day free from worry or jail and are not “ innocent “ . They were charged with a crime ,, the court decides if they are or “ not guilty “ of the crime . They were found to be “not guilty “and should be able to recoup any and all money lost having to defend themselves and projected losses they would have made during that time due to be being falsely accused after being proven “ Not Guilty “ . That’s just seems fair and reasonable to me .

NVM, as I was schooled above.

By Boca's definition anyone that ever went to trial, even the most frivolous case, can never be innocent. If you go through the trial and are found not guilty, you still aren't innocent. I call bull****.

This had nothing to do with a tort. Tort reform will do nothing for a situation like this.

This situation was an alleged violation of a criminal statute. Tort reform is a civil wrong, i.e. think personal injury suits, medical malpractice, shareholder class actions, etc.

Please know what tort reform is and what it means before you espouse its virtues.

1) you are right
2) I know what civil vs criminal is
3) don't be a dick.

And this is why I get irritated when people turn on someone whom is accused of things like this. It was a lot of shady ness to begin with, but like everywhere else now a days this forum immediately seemed to be totally into condemning him.

Well look at it this way, he lost any chance of an NFL career for something that was untrue.

Actually no "they" didn't. There were a few that felt accused = guilty, but not many. Most were either neutral to skeptical on the charges.

Well the good news is, if he does try and go pro atleast his body isnt all damaged.... He probably saved a lot of years by having this time off to recuperate from all those years of nonstop football.
