That is the fault of all the false claims across the country. It sucks but that’s the reason I’m a big proponent that anyone who is found guilty of false claims like that should receive the same punishment the victim would have gotten had it been real.

No problem with that approach. But to me it's like we were talking in that thread where we all helped that family out and someone came in and pointed out the two father thing. Yeah one could immediately assume the worst and that they were just a grifter, but as it turns out there was a reasonable explanation.

There was a guy in Lex that used to panhandle in a wheel chair and act mentally handicapped. I saw him at Fayette mall one day around the food court and offered to buy him some food, I did so. Later that same day I saw him being called out for faking it on one of the local stations.

I find it similar, if I start immediately discounting abuse victims due to a few bad apples then I just contribute to making it harder for the already difficult process of coming forward in some type of abuse scenario. And if I let that bad taste of the schmuck phony at the mall make me never be charitable again then I'm doing a diservice to myself, because being in a position to help feels good, but also to those folks I'd be likely to help.

Link: Minutes after the initial Dec. 28 exchange, one of the roommates sent a text saying “got his ass” followed by two emojis with dollar signs on their extended tongues.

Maybe this is his penalty for not committing to Kansas? Maybe the accuser is the daughter of an influential person? You never know why a prosecutor might choose to pursue or not pursue charges against certain individuals.

He's being accused of fingering a girl who identified him through Google photos. They supposedly have DNA evidence from his fingers, but it's not the traditional evidence of semen. I'm not defending him at all, but if you were on that jury with me with those details, then what would you do?

Guilty by association. Run with scum and it rubs off on you. Just my opinion.

There has been an epidemic of false claims about all manner of crimes and transgressions. Not just rape.

Many are believed by lots of people despite having been shot down in court. Repeatedly.

There are one hundred different reasons how his DNA got there

Bro are you his lawyer? You're just making yourself look foolish.

And now who does? Was that one of the fastest not guilty verdicts in history?

If that last sentence is true, then the prosecutor should face some serious questions as to why this case was even brought to trial.

Exactly, even the affidavit was bunk IMO, read the entire thing. She first thought he was a KU football player and then it had to be an Illinois player but she went to the basketball team instead of football. She seen him and I bet saw he was a projected AA and first round pick. She decided “oh yeah that was him he was there.”

Her entire story was suspect to me. I get she could have been in shock, but I can not imagine a guy not knowing her getting her against the wall and then penetrating her with his finger. In a bar full of people, all the while she held her phone and drink and didn’t even drop one of them to try and say stop? Push him away? She never even got the dudes name talking to him that was his first action. I suspect the prosecutor wanted a big name conviction to make his career. It’s sad that little evidence could lead you to a life in prison and ruining it especially if you can’t afford a good defense.

Sigh, not even worth arguing lmao.

They don’t care about truth, just convictions and how many they can lock up to boost their ego and make the state money.

Agreed. It was a no-brainer and I'm just glad that you didn't cause a 11 to 1 hung jury on an obvious not guilty lol.

If you had any reading comprehension you'd know I said I had no facts and would wait for the information to come out but it's bad form to drag an accuser just because a small number have lied in the past.

These guys got to be careful. There's so many opportunists out there. Stick with a girlfriend, man. The random hookups will end your career and possibly your freedom.

We now live in a world where Danny Masterson got a life sentence based on just someone's word.

We had a former Mr Basketball who had to leave the team due to false allegations years ago. Was Big 10 All Freshmen. There were some basketball groupies the team kept around and when they told a couple no one night, they threatened to claim rape. Turned into a couple guys having to leave the team with no charges ever filed.

Lloyd Tubman from the football team years ago got accused of rape by his girlfriend. And I believe it was bogus because they had her on surveillance walking him out of the building after the so called incident.
