Exactly. School judicial board could still find probable cause and enforce the suspension from school. He will need to go before the judicial board prior to reinstatement which means he likely still won't be back for a month or so, if at all.

I'll bet Butch has something to do with a speedy process on this matter. Good news. It certainly took long enough.:thumbsup:

Yea, the standard applies to the DA when considering a charge (as opposed to the jury)-it is does the DA reasonably believe that the jury could find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Each office may word this differently, but it's pretty standard. It's been several years since I was a DA but I'm sure the standard hasn't changed. I probably didn't explain that very well.

A summary judgment isn't a standard at all, it's when a judge looks at all the facts and the case doesn't even get presented to the jury, i.e. if the facts are viewed in the most favorable light to the plaintiff, there still isn't enough there to find in their favor, the case is dismissed.

EDIT: I immediately regret cluttering up the thread, I just like to talk lol. My apologies.

No apology needed you did a good job. It was just like the first semester on criminal law.

You guys relax, his attorney Chris Coffey, is one of the best, if not the very best, lawyer in Knoxville. He'll handdle this with class like he does all his cases and get the best possible result.

SIAP

Dustin Dopriak: Per Ryan Robinson, Tennessee's new senior associate AD for media relations, UT is aware of Pearson's case, but his status has not changed.

What does this say when he's been cleared of all charges? UT's not yet convinced he's innocent?

Interesting how the Tennessean buried the headline about Pearson not facing charges.

In fact, the headline about Tennessee being under investigation for sexual assaults is still higher on the page than news that broke merely hours ago for a story that will probably be their most read all week.

Thats great news. If he's not cleared by the university by Friday, his attorney should sue the hell
out of UT.

Its just hard to believe the university would hold Von to a higher standard than our police state.

You said it friend. Does the DA REASONABLY BELIEVE there is proof beyond. That is different than flat proof beyond. Reasonable belief is a low standard. Proof beyond is an incredibly high standard. "Reasonable belief a jury could find proof beyond..." is in all practical sense a very low standard, while proof beyond in an actual TRIAL is a VERY high evidentiary standard. They are two very different things.

Edit: yes, SJ has a standard. There has to be a basis to continue the case when taken in the light most favorable to the non moving party. If there was no standard, how would you ever decide an SJ motion?

A shame a man has been given his life back and people on here are poo pooing excitement because he still may not get on the football field. Sickos.
