DA's are only slightly more narcissistic than Lady Gaga.

Oh, c'mon Fitz doesn't fit that bill at all

 

[rrlbees]

No charges. Too much at stake to have that happen.

Interesting planning for SportsCenter coming. Decision on Jameis Winston case hits 2pm ET on Thur. Will Ferrell co-hosts 6pm ET SC same day.

They cancelled Ferrell

The one thing everyone is forgetting, is unless this is a slam-dunk conviction Florida can't afford another high profile trial. After the last 2 trials with Anthony, then the last with George Zimmerman, the state looks like a horse's a**. The rest of the country wouldn't believe a conviction, because of the recent past incompetence. So regardless of who the person is who has accused him, and whoever they might happen to know, after the George Zimmerman trial the state can't afford any more embarrassment. Its much easier to say that under the current law, the facts don't warrant going to trial.

Very good points. Florida police and prosecutors look like the Keystone Kops--either they have a evidence beyond a shred of doubt or Winston walks.

these are quotes from an article......
This is not just an accuser's complaint, either. The recently retired Tallahassee police chief, Dennis M. Jones, told CNN he never knew there was an allegation against Winston, and "I'd like to know why it didn't make it to me

You can find flaws with how the case was pursued and still not assume he is guilty. After all, it was not Winston's job to handle the case. There are reasons to wonder if police were wary of pursuing charges -- not because they knew he was guilty, but because they feared he was

then throw in the fact that the detective in charge twice applied to work for the teams booster club...lou c I am sure will deny this too.

fishy that the former police chief not got wind of the case......is the chief now a liar too.

the article was written this morning

They rushed it. Get decision out so he will have chance at Heisman, How many people won't vote him because of whole ordeal is anybody's guess. I have no doubt it will be no charge.

 

[690West]

Starting to leak that there will be no charges

 

[Toga]

Is there such a thing as a civil case for this type of accusation?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

they had almost a full year to clear him....actions by Tallahassee P.D. smells of a cover-up.

Winston's lawyer first said he was not involved, then bam!!!! then comes the DNA evidence and his lawyer follows up with that we knew all along as he said it was consensual s ex. Then why didn't he offer that up in the first place.

Meggs did say he needed to interview one more person at the end of last week...Winston? And if Winston refused like most lawyers who say he should, then why wait to charge him.

gut feeling he will get charged.

I don' t think that you announce you are charging someone. Winston would have been invited to surrender to authorities for booking and then a PC would have been held.

My guess at Meggs statement: "There are only 2 people who know the truth. We do believe the victim in this matter. However, we do not have any phyisical evidence to corrobarate either parties' story. Without that, I cannot, as a prosecuter, go forward with a good faith belief that I have the ability to obtain a conviction. Therefore, this office will not be filing charges agains Mr. Winston."

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Confused by something that just broke from the AP

The Associated Press ‏@AP2m
BREAKING: Warrants say alleged victim in Winston case says she was raped in apartment after drinking at bar.

Doesn't "warrant" imply an arrest? What am I missing?

Search Warrant

 

[djcon57]

"Sources tell ESPN's Shelley Smith, however, that toxicology reports show the accuser had minuscule amounts of alcohol in her system and that there was no evidence of so-called date rape drugs."

Hmmmm.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Search Warrant

Gotcha.

Poor wording out of the AP imo given the timing.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Is there such a thing as a civil case for this type of accusation?

Sure. However, the statute of limitations might have run. In NY, its a year for an intentional tort.
