“Carroll said the Tallahassee Police Department was negligent in handling her client’s case against the 20-year-old Heisman Trophy winner.”
Negligent? Nah, they knew exactly what they were doing! They were protecting their ‘home-boy’ at least until after the Heisman voting and the BCS championship game. Now that all of that is past suddenly there will be ‘new evidence’. ;-)
Now who didn’t see this coming ...... anyone?
This type of cover-up is one of the reasons I no longer watch televised sports, aside from a rare tennis match. Here in San Diego, we have two SDSU basketball athletes that were given passes on felonies committed while in school.
They are now in the NBA.
San Diego State is now becoming a BB power. I’m guessing it’s partially for the various types of free rides they are being given.
Steve Fisher, ex-coach of Michigan, is the head coach now.
A recent study found 38% of college athletes read at or below the 8th grade level. Now, considering ALL of the athletes of all races were included in the study, what does that tell you? My point is if Winston is sued someone will have to read it to him “then”.
This alleged assault happened over a year ago. She has had plenty of time to file suit.
$$$$$
Don't forget what happened to five young and innocent Duke Lacrosse players who were falsely accused of rape by a stripper who wanted more money before she would perform, and when her attempt at extortion failed, she filed a false charge of rape. Meanwhile, the liberal media had already charged, tried, and convicted them in the court of public opinion.
Did I mention that the stripper was black and the players white?
This travesty happens far more often than gets reported because liberals always run to the side of the cleat chasers - the coeds who act like crazed fans of Bieber and Jonas Brothers on crack.
Basically, what the cleat chasers do as females would qualify as sexual harassment if they were males and the athletes females. In fact, cleat chasers often do sexually harass male athletes - especially football and basketball players - because college athletes are treated like gods on campus, the athletes spend more time pushing women away than grabbing them.
Attorney Carroll's resume resembles your typical ambulance-chaser who started seeing $$dollar signs and hearing cha-chings long after FSU had won the BCS Championship and Winston won the Heisman.
Basically, Carroll is full of Bolshevik. The TPD did not threaten her client to stop her from bringing charges. Funny how that part of the story went from one police officer allegedly threatening her about the consequences of filing a rape charge against a football player to the entire Police Department intimidating her into silence.
Given her failure to correctly identify her attacker and lying about being drunk so that she could claim that the sex could not be consensual, the police officer might have told her that, in light of the conflicting evidence you have given, such as the description of your attacker, the failure to tell us that we'd find your boyfriend's semen on your panties, and your lie about being drunk, do you really want to risk bringing a serious charge of rape when it is likely to be dropped or dismissed and damage your own reputation in the process?
The person accused is less of a factor than the accusation.
Just when you thought you've heard everything, now, and only now the victim's friend has come out and claimed that she had personally witnessed the sex act. She never said anything about it before or being an eyewitness to the act.
When the rape was first reported, Winston had not yet played a single down of FSU's 2013 football season. It happened more than three months before Spring practice began, and four months before the Garnet & Gold Game was played at the end of Spring Practice.
At the time, Jacob Coker was slated to take over for the departing EJ Manuel, the 1st QB taken in the 2012 NFL draft. Coker was the heir-apparent to FSU's starting quarterback position. Winston was a redshirt freshman who had sat out all of 2012. Coker had fought Winston all through the Spring for the job, and it was not until August 2013, right before the first game of the season, that the "Not-Yet-Famous" Jameis was picked to start the game.
Meanwhile, the only people among the public at large who had any visions of Winston winning the Heisman as a redshirt freshman - were the FSU football fanatics who knew that he was ESPN's #1 high school QB prospect in 2012 when he signed with the Seminoles.
Even so, being rated a super stud coming out of high school is no guarantee that he can play the same at the college level - let alone become the franchise player for the team like Johnny Football aka Johnny Manziel, who was rated #3 by ESPN in 2011.
Everyone in the country was shocked at what Winston was able to do in his very first collegiate game. Playing against Duisburg, Winston completed 25 of 27 passes (two of which were drops), for 356 yards and four touchdowns. Only then did the football world know that Winston was something special.
Fast forward to November when FSU beats Florida and gets ranked #1 in all national polls and becomes the shoe-in for the BCS championshiop game. Jameis also becomes the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy despite competing against a more seasoned Manzeil who was expected to repeat his accomplishments.
Only then did the sexual assault incident come out.
However, it was the "highly reliable reporters" from TMZ - TV's version of the supermarket tabloids - who broke the story after someone from the Tampa Bay Slimes tipped them off.
After doing a cursory investigation, they contacted the victim and her family and convinced them to lawyer up.
The Tampa Bay Slimes is the same left-wing rag as the St. Petersburg Times and they still run Politifact - the phony nonpartisan factcheckers.
FSU is one of 56 schools currently being investigated for possible Title IX violations.
The story in the New York Slimes - the most antisemitic and far-left liberal fishwrap in America was totally reprehensible and totally fallacious.
The way to interpret what NYT writes is to invert whatever they tell you.
Was FSU lax in its Title IX investigations? Probably.
Is the government too intrusive in education and the lives of college athletes? Definitely.
If there was no money to be made here, neither would there be a scandal, either.
