Sorry, buddy, but the "it's just a he said/she said" argument don't carry much weight when the guy has a prior history that includes pleading guilty just a couple weeks ago to beating up another woman in Texas. In that situation, people with common sense realize the truth most likely leans toward the "she said" version of events.
Is justifiable homicide no longer a real thing? A man's not justified in killing his daughter's rapist? I'm a humanitarian myself, so I'd probably settle with castrating the bastard, but if I'm on a jury, I'm not convicting the man who does put the animal down...
Simple question, Will he be in uniform when KU opens the season, YES or NO?
You and I both know this cannot be answered if you are being objective. There is only an allegation with zero public information. If a false allegation he should play. If guilty, he should not.
That is exactly right, and it’s bad that we don’t have clean water in spots of the USA.
He probably will have to sit out the first exhibition game.
Every job will do that, right or wrong. Just saying.
Not entirely true. But blanket statements rarely are. Lots of entities (KU has done this in the past as well) will suspend pending the outcome of the investigation.
Usually without pay, which might as well be fired. Point being, any organization that cares about its reputation, again whether right or wrong, will cut ties quickly.
I can count on one hand how many times I've seen that happen. Also 98% of businesses are AT WILL. You can be fired for any or no reason as long as it's not listed under the protected classes mentioned in law. There have been people fired in this country for wearing the wrong tie to work. Or so they said.
Only Jailhawks would defend this. Good to see you all circle the wagons.
Due process has nothing to do with the business interests of a major stakeholder of a multibillion dollar business. Which is what KU and UK and every other major P5 college athletics department are. They can “fire” whoever they want if it hurts the bottom line, “due process” be damned. Their bottom line isn’t beholden to the same standard as a court of law.
They typically don’t arrest you for a crime like rape unless they are sure they can get a conviction. I’d like to know what the conviction rate is for felonies in Lawrence. Probably completely different for the general public and KU athletes.
None at all. The longer it goes the greater chance of him or someone else on the team doing something similar. History has proven this.
In all fairness KU athletes commit felonies at a rate exponentially higher than average citizens so it would be an apples to orange jumpsuit thing.
"Nevertheless, perpetrators of different types of sex crimes exhibit varying rates of repeat offending. The 15-year recidivism rate is 13 percent for incest perpetrators, 24 percent for rapists, and 35 percent for child molesters of boy victims"
No, but he did freaking rob somebody AND wrote a book basically saying, "I didn't do it, but if I did......" Which If that's not a damn guilty conscience I don't know what is.
