.....
I need a list of the QB's of the teams we play in 2015.
If (IF mind you) the police declare him innocent/never bring charges, why does the school need to investigate?
First, schools need to stay out of these matters. They are criminal investigations and those in higher learning have NO place doing the duty of an officer of the law, especially given the propensity in the past with which schools have destroyed the lives of the accused without evidence.
Second, what could she sue him for? If the police declare him innocent, he should sue her for slander if anything.
Haha! Nah, none of those guys are worth bothering with.
Go after the running backs. UGA = Chubb .. Bama = Henry ... Arky = Williams & Collins (fabricate some kinda twofer deal to get both those guys) ... Florida = Taylor ... Mizzou = Hansbrough ... and Oklahoma = Perine.
Thanks, man. Remember to wipe everything for prints. And whatever you do, don't put anything on the interwebs, that stuff can never truly be erased. :good!:
I won't pretend to know anything about law enforcement or attorneys. My knowledge is limited to what I see on tv/movies/print. But my logical question is this....it has been over 4 weeks now and if you haven't at least interviewed or questioned people that you believe are relevant....aren't the chances greater that they may have forgotten some details or facts that could have been important?
Well, first, police never declare anyone innocent (or guilty). They don't have that authority. It's not their job. Their role is simply to gather evidence for use in court so that a judge or jury can decide innocence vs guilt...if the prosecuting attorney determines the police have found enough evidence to be going on with, and can then convince a grand jury of the same.
Second, universities and other institutions are free to have honor codes and other codes of conduct above and beyond what's covered by US and state criminal law. And are free to investigate possible violations of their code. There's nothing at all unusual about that.
And third, anyone can sue anyone in civil court for just about any real or perceived tort. Doesn't even have to be monetary in nature, though monetary penalties are often how the cases are resolved. So VP's accuser could certainly take him to civil court for any of a number of reasons.
He's certainly right to the extent his point is that it is nearly impossible to convict someone of rape if the only evidence the prosecution can put on is testimony from a single accuser, countered by similarly credible testimony from the accused. I have no problem with him saying that. (And incidentally, that is how it SHOULD be.)
But he went off the rails when he:
(1) suggested that, the evidence (or lack thereof) in his case notwithstanding, Von is a rapist and shouldn't "go free" because... well, because, kyoon (in his omniscience) knows that rape accusations are "usually" well-founded, and rape victims "usually never recover";
(2) said it was impossible to prove that a rape has occurred;
(3) said I "obviously" know nothing about the criminal system (without knowing any of my professional and/or personal background, mind you); and
(4) started trying to bolster his credibility by bragging about going to a top-20 law school.
The first two are troubling and incorrect, respectively; the latter two are just LOL-worthy--so that's what I gave him.
