Jameis Winston did not violate FSU's conduct code.

Jameis Winston attorney David Cornwell confirmed to ESPN's Joe Schad that the Florida State Seminoles quarterback was ruled to have not violated university conduct code.

During the conduct hearing held earlier this December, Winston declined to answer questions about whether he sexually assaulted the woman, but did read a five-page statement in which he detailed his account of the events on the night of Dec. 7, 2012 and declared his innocence.

At the hearing, Winston repeatedly declined to answer questions from Major Harding, a former Florida State Supreme Court Chief Justice who oversaw the case, and during cross-examination by his accuser, according to people familiar with the case.

I'm not sure anybody is actually going to believe this exonerates Winston.

Well maybe Winston himself and the FSU coach are that stupid, but nobody else.

Hopefully the federal government gives the university the sanctions it deserves for protecting a football player and the football team instead of the student he "allegedly" victimized.

Usually I give the accused the presumption of innocence, but given his other crimes and lapses, I don't give Winston the benefit of the doubt since he's obviously a self-observed child who really really needs to have life metaphorically punch him in the face to show him that no, he's not special. I suspect he won't be long for the NFL with his attitude.
