Will he win the Heisman?

If the votes are already in, yes he will win it. If not, he still might shit the bed against Duke.

so obviously she was asking for it...this is clearly NOT a case of a football town deliberately pulling strings to protect its star quarterback, a young guy who figures since everybody worships him, he can do no wrong and do anything he freaking wants...I repeat...NONE of this obviously applies here.

the favorite to win it - can't spoil that party!

A shame that a rape might spoil all that!

You made a claim. You prove it.

If they could prove she was passed out, they wouldn't even need the warrant.

It's that simple for him.

That was one quick trial!
Secondly, you know that I have discussed other topics prior to discussing this rape allegation; therefore you simply wanted to avoid explaining how it was that you found proof that the accuser was passed out prior to, or during sex.

Can you now answer my question regarding how you know what happened?

As implied by the member calling a man a rapist based on an allegation.

He was only accused, that doesn't make him guilty of anything.

Here I am going to accuse you of murder. You killed someone. Are you now a murderer?

I agree that these things are very serious and should be rigorously pursued, but your comment is way out of line.

And at least 3 jurors agreed with them. Nothing surprises me these days.

After all, any woman who drinks knows what effect the alcohol will have on her, and causing a woman to become inebriated *certainly* does not constitute rape if you have sex with her.

Do I really need the sarcasm tag?

Do you have a link?

Wouldn't want a hide for calling out a DUer, natch.

I still find it hard to believe, even after seeing it with my own eyes.

It just crushed so much of my belief in DU- not that a relative newcomer said it, but that a jury let it stand.

More accurately, they found barely any alcohol. That pretty much destroyed her case. There is no way any jury on this planet would convict him with that information known.

I think that is where the case fell apart

with another guy can't possibly be raped.

Who had sex in public thay was filmed that went viral and claimed she was raped...until witness testimony was examined. False accusations..

Just because she had DNA from two different guys does not mean a rape did not occur.

False accusations of rape are rare. It's not worth it. Heck, it's not worth it to report a rape, period, more often than not.

they found (the day after) when a rape kit was performed, a .04 BAC in her system, which extrapolates back to about a .10.

Apparently in FL .10 isn't drunk enough, absent other evidence, to be unable to provide consent.

.1 is barely above the legal limit for driving (which anyone will tell you are kept at just barely above light impairment), if everyone who has consensual sex with someone at a .1 is a rapist then about half of Florida is a rapist.

Correction: Found a source that says it extrapolates to .1, that still isn't much.

A big problem is that she claimed to have six shots of alcohol, which put would even a larger person way over .1. Six shots would put the average person at around a .3, not a .1.

I've found it elsewhere, but a quick google brought up:

Quote from article:
Meggs' office took over the case last month. Investigators interviewed the accuser, other witnesses and collected evidence before the prosecutor made his decision.

He said the woman's blood-alcohol content at the hospital was .04 and investigators estimated it to be about .10 at the time of the incident, based on the amount of time that had passed. The legal limit to drive in Florida is .08.

or severe impairment. Which is exactly what she is claiming she experienced. The number of drinks she claimed to have also doesn't even remotely add up to what her blood level was.

So yeah, nothing about what she says matches the evidence, insofar as her alcohol consumption goes.

that being said, alcohol impacts everyone differently.

I agree that there wasn't enough evidence, baring a state law which bars consent beyond a certain BAC, to charge him.

I have real problems with how the police handled the investigation, but that doesn't mean he should have been charged.

The very fact that this was buried and then brought up months later speaks to that fact.

Yes alcohol does impact everyone differently. Frankly she could have been blackout drunk, but have a incredibly beneficent metabolic process for alcohol. That is possible, but possible isn't evidence.

so he can duke it out with Roethlisberger in the Rapist Bowl.

Florida St. is about to collect tens of millions in payouts for their next two games...

No one is going to be allowed to interfere with that, no matter what her story is...

None of us has studied the evidence, interviewed witnesses, compared stories, etc.. Who knows what really happened here, but none of us fucking know, that's for sure.

Perception and reality are often 180 degrees out of phase.

Your brand of rational justice is too extreme!

After all the profit motive proves everything!

if a man is accused then he must be guilty. No trial needed no evidence. Men are bad and their words doesn't count ..

Yep, those evil feminists just want everyone to hate men.

I wish one of these psychics would send me tonight's lottery numbers.

BTW...Florida State is in my top five most hated teams, just for anyone who thinks I'm some sort of FSU homer.
