If their goal was for AJ to not get drafted, they are doing a great job. This could linger on for months before dismissing case.

And yes he/they may very well be guilty...so much for fair and speedy trial...at least the speedy part.

Take the VFL tag off op. It's not about a man's draft status. It is about whether a woman was violated or not. It is as simple as that. Right and wrong.

Why would I care until it effects me? I am sure not many people on here know much about medicine, until it effects their lives. I am in the oil biz, does anybody care how I find and develop oil fields? :hi:

To answer your question...... No. But can I interest you in an investment since you're all "There will be blood" and all.

Actually, yes. Maybe someday I can tell you about credit insurance and we can bore the crap put of each other.

Yeah really.

It's almost as if the KPD sits around with absolutely nothing else to do as it waits in the grass for the next UT football player to harass.

This will likely go to court. The old saying "you can indict a ham sandwich" tells you what history thinks of Grand Jury's. If the DA wants it, they will get it truth be damned.

The reasons a Grand Jury typically indicts has nothing to do with the truth. The defendant is not allowed to present evidence to the Grand Jury, unless he/she testifies and which hardly ever happens. It is simply a function that allows the prosecution to test and put on its case. The Grand Jury's tells the government whether there are sufficent facts to charge the defendant and move forward with a trial. If a Grand Jury votes to indict, the defendant can elect and pursue his speedy trial right. I am sure the state system in Tennesse is different, but, in the Federal System, a trial is scheduled no later than 70 days from indictment, which is almost always continued. It takes years for a federal indictment to occur, and, when it occurs, the Feds have their case in the can and ready to go.

All that to say, the system is working and its doing so properly.

Since they aren't cops accused of shooting an unarmed black guy, an indictment will happen 90 percent of the time.

I am misrepresenting nothing.

I'm just amazed at some folks on here that place football above justice. I'm amazed at some folks that take rape lightly. The truth is a first time offender will be out of jail much quicker if he just murders a person on the street than raping a drunk helpless woman. Rape is 15 years per count with NO PAROLE. The Vandy convicted will be lucky to live through prison. They going to be a buttered biscuit soon.

It seems to me that pretty much every case in America takes forever to bring to trial. I guess with all the judges and lawyers spending most of their time drinking it takes awhile to get them sobered up.

I still can't believe that A.J. was invited to the NFL combine on Feb. 12th. fir Db's & Lb's.
What team would take a risk on a player with a pending case against them?

Wow.

Have you not been watching the NFL the past 30 years?

Google Leonard Little and see how many chances he got with the league after being convicted.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of our Legal System. I come from a family of attorney's...My opinion as a woman is that we need to stop thinking about the guys football career's & concentrate on these very serious criminal charges. My uncle is an assistant DA in Hamilton County & he says, that the DA in Knox must feel that their is "Sufficient" evidence to go before the Grand Jury. The GJ will determine if there is enough to hand down an indictment....If they are charged..Let us not forget that there are 2 victims that will be going through the hell also....Let us pray from them all.....
