Every one that says there was no evidence that a crime was committed does not know the law of evidence. Testimony is the most common evidence that exists. Eye witness testimony. I saw him do it, he says I didn't. That guy is in prison. So to say he said/she said is not enough is not true. Plenty of people are in prison because she said he did it and he said he didn't. In this case, the prosecutor decided it wasn't likely to lead to a conviction, so he presented a case to the grand jury that lead to no true bill. That does not mean that "Ray" and all of his professionals doesn't think Tubman did it. Doesn't mean that they think he did. It means that the prosecutor didn't think he could get a conviction. He could have gotten an indictment based only on the accusation if he wanted to. The whole ham sandwich bs, remember. He did his job and decided it was a waste of tax payer money to pursue a charge. Doesn't mean he thinks Tubman is innocent. Doesn't mean he thinks he is guilty.
Everyone keeps saying that the UK board is wrong because they decided different than the grand jury with the same facts. Two things here. First, they didn't have the same facts. The victim and the accused testified at UK but not the grand jury. So they were not considering the same facts. Second, assume they did hear the same facts and make different decisions. Who are you to say which one was wrong. Is the grand jury correct because they decided first? If one of them is wrong, why does it have to be UK, and not the grand jury?
Everyone on here talking about burden of proof and evidence does not know what they are talking about. There have been a few lawyers pipe in but I question their experience in similar situations. Prisons have plenty of people that were convicted of rape just because someone said they did it. Colleges have plenty of people that raped people and no one believed their accuser.
I replied to someone the other night by saying "you know nothing about rape" and he responded by saying "you are right, I was never raped." I think my point was lost because I was responding to his comment that an athlete can have plenty of girls and Tubman is good looking, etc, and doesn't need to rape girls. My point was that just because you are good looking and can have plenty of sex doesn't mean you don't rape women. Rapists usually don't rape women because it is the only way they can have sex. Research the subject. Watch the documentary about Thomas Payne, our first black basketball player.
I'm sorry I was so long winded, and I hope this thread will eventually end. No one knows what happened. No one knows what the grand jury heard and no one knows what the UK board heard. I wish both sides would just quit assuming what happened and let life go on.
