And for him, that's the greatest news of all. I truly never believed he raped her, the story just seemed so.. I dunno how to explain it. False.
After hearing the evidence involved, a Lexington grand jury has decided not to indict University of Kentucky football player and Seneca High School product Lloyd Tubman on a charge of rape, Fayette County Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson said Wednesday night.
To my knowledge there is not an appeal for a no true bill. The grand jury turns in a no true bill when there is no way to indict based on the information they have from all parties. Trust me, you do a lot of soul searching and you feel very confident of the party's innocence when you return a no true bill on a rape case. The last thing you want to do is let someone who you think might even slightly be guilty go free. If there was any doubt, this would have been turned over to a judge for trial. Also, by stating no further action will be taken against Lloyd, that tells me they know he is innocent.
I really hope he and his family want him back in Lexington, I really want to see him play and succeed!
BS.
What the hell are you talking about? Scholarships are on a yearly basis. Tubman or anyone else are not promised a 4 year ride.
You do realize that for a Grand Jury to not indict Mr. Tubman means that there was NO EVIDENCE to even bring charges. As the saying goes, a prosecutor can get a Grand Jury indictment for a ham sandwich if he needs it. So for Mr. Tubman's case to not even have enough evidence to go to trial, must mean that the case was extremely weak.
I'm going to tip toe around this. With due process, it looks as if Tubman won't be charged with rape. Does that mean UK should just say "hey we are sorry, but you are high risk now. we can't allow you to be a student athlete here."
Sensitive subject, maybe he would have pressure from higher ups. The girl as far as I know is still at UK, so maybe fear of future problems with her.
Why would there be any university discipline hearing if there is no evidence he did anything wrong??...My guess is the decision by Stoops and MB was already made depending on how the case turned and that he will be returned as a member of the team asap
I don't think the "deal with it somehow" language has anything to do with the particulars of this case.
Fanbase, my A$$, still have a hard time believing it was Joker's idea to suspend Hartline for the critical bowl game (I will bet a LOT of the team wasn't happy about that, especially seniors) for DRINKING, even though he took a taxi instead of driving while drinking AND he was of legal age. Then they also self reported Jarmon taking a non prescription diet drug ONLY because he wanted to lose weight, NOT to hide a drug problem. When at some schools of lower learning you can have a young woman get an overdose and die in a athletic dorm and no one even hears about it for months. A school that welcomes criminals and covers up for them. Or FSU, where the Heisman winner had a lot more evidence against him. Or TU, where eight thugs can stomp on TWO victims heads, sending at least one of them to the hospital, and NO charges are filed.
