Never ceases to amaze me how sports loyalties trump justice every time.
Any crime from rape and murder to pedophilia can be excused as long as the sports team is held sacrosanct.
Follow The Money.

He is a football player. They could find 10 dead bodies shot full of holes in his car,4 dead bodies in his bed. And he could hand the police a signed note reading, “I did it” and he still would not be charged.

Why do you automatically conclude he’s guilty?

Actually, no.
The principle of “innocent until proven guilty” is not in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or any other founding document of the United States. It was an unwritten tenant of English Common Law.
The phrase entered US law through a 1894 Supreme Court decision, which reversed a lower court because the jury had not been instructed “The law presumes that persons charged with crime are innocent until they are proven by competent evidence to be guilty”.

Maybe Chuck started this AFTER he was charged under the Mann Act. Yup, you're probably right! I would imagine some lawyer - maybe hired by his agent - took him aside and told him how to handle the groupie issue.

If im not mistaken, the idea of “innocent until proven guilty” underscores the American judicial system. Frankly, Winton is the only one whos been honest since the beginning. He never denied contact with her, he just said it was consensual. What exactly is he guilty of? whore-hopping? ...Thats not illegal in florida.

But you prefer guilty until they can prove themselves innocent.

Before you crucify Winston, you should check out Meggs’ hx of similar charges against FSU athletes. This aint his first rodeo. Other cases he has hyped up were similarly dismissed.

Hmm, I will do that. Are you saying he’s got an axe to grind for FSU jocks?

I bet a lot of pressure was brought on the State Attorney to ignore the evidence for the sake of FSU and his job future prospects...
...you ‘bet’ pressure was brought...well, that sure changes things...I guess that pretty much cinches it, doesn’t it...

...sure, sport, okay...if you say so...

I could have told you that. He is a football player. They could find 10 dead bodies shot full of holes in his car,4 dead bodies in his bed. And he could hand the police a signed note reading, “I did it” and he still would not be charged. Not true.
Had he thrown five picks against Florida, he would surely have been charged on her word alone.
