If it came to that, the definition of "all in" would take on a whole new meaning.
I think it will be a done deal. Their program is above and beyond a mere alledged rapist. How dare anyone threaten their road to a potential NC. JW will play, and no one will hear 'If only JW hadn't been a rapist'. Coaches like CNS and one 'Bear' (who was well known to sit out stellar players who didn't adhere to the standards established by said coaches) are rare. Does anyone think that CNS would play AJ if he were in this same situation? I think AJ would be benched at the least. At the most, he would no longer be part of Alabama football.
I recall a Bears player charged with a felony being given permission to travel to play in a playoff game against the Saints. Of course it was an Illinois judge, and this was before the NFL cared about that sort of things... I thought it was absurd, but it darn sure happened.
Penn State didn't have the eyes of America on them. Not close to the same situation.
Actually, they are a little fuzzy because Tank Johnson was involved in so many illegal activities (I didn't keep up with them well so my recollection can be a bit off) that it's virtually impossible to puzzle them all together. That, and he pleaded down on some stuff, but just to illustrate the point here's this:
Meggs, given what he already knows had enough probable cause to arrest JW. That would have taken maybe 4 seconds after learning the DNA match. For whatever reason he is stalling.
I dont.
In a word, yes. They've already swept a couple of brushes with the law under the rug at FSU and he has complaints from females (not rape) going back through high school, so I tend to think they'll do anything to keep him on the field. I, like LD above, would not put anything past them. And remember he graduated from there and is familiar with their culture...
They may have tried that a year ago but I don't think they'd do that now - too much scrutiny. We may never know - if Winston isn't charged, and I think the longer it takes the less likely it is, it could actually be because there's not enough evidence. It appears the rape kit was inconclusive, so who knows what they're waiting on..
Stirring the pot is your opinion. Most people that know me would say I'm too full of Bama - that I'm the crazy fan. I just happen to attempt to be logical on here which upsets some of the nutty folks. Saying I don't believe in large scale FSU conspiracies isn't stirring the pot. The only thing I'll plead guilty to is unchecked pessimism from time to time.
I think someone said that all sexual violence cases are handled as felonies in Florida.
We all have our own opinions & I think there's just to much pressure & National coverage for them not to go forward without charging Jameis..I think he's making sure he's got everything in order before pressing charges..I think he's going to have to charge him & let Jameis prove his innocence in court..JMO
