Innocent or guilty, all I want is for the truth to come out.

Good luck on that wish. This is already getting dirty, thanks to the slimy defense lawyer, sloppy police work, and the reaction of the FSU "fans."

Unfortunately our court system is about winning, not about truth.

Excellent point.

That is about as good a description of the court system as I have ever heard.

Responding to earlier claims by Winston's attorney that he had consensual sex with the woman, Patricia Carroll, the family's attorney, said in the statement: "To be clear, the victim did not consent. This was a rape."

Lawyer: Defense 'too little, too late

The 'consent defense' is too little too late and is clearly reactive damage control by (Jameis Winston's attorney) after learning the DNA matched his client.

Quote from victim's attorney, Patricia Carroll.

Asked when his office might be ready to make a decision on whether it has sufficient evidence to charge Winston, Meggs told ESPN.com: "I don't really know. I don't know. When you're depending on other people, it makes it a little more difficult. They're not working on our schedule."

Meggs said Wednesday he does not anticipate taking the case in front of a grand jury.

Right now this case and the timing of what is to come seems to be based solely on Winston and the Heisman, not about the young lady. I wish the young lady's lawyer would attack that aspect of the case publically in saying she is not being treated fairly because of the risk of him not winning the trophy. It's all about Winston and the Heisman and not the rape of a young lady.

[pmull]

There will be no winners how ever this case turns out. I hate it for the girl that this has to be played out in public by the media. Based on what I have seen this looks very bad for Winston.

Finebaum had a Florida sports writer on the show yesterday and they were talking about Heisman voters they had talked to and many are no longer considering voting for him.

Another "Family Statement" by the victim's attorney.

I am not an attorney but there seems to be enough evidence to charge Winston and put this case to trial.

Wow..... 

Florida State University officials confirmed Friday that they are investigating a sexual assault allegation against quarterback Jameis Winston, but the acknowledgement raised a new question in a case already rife with them — did the school violate federal law?

Winston's accuser reported the incident to university police in December 2012. Because the alleged attack occurred off-campus, the Tallahassee Police Department took over.

However, Title IX, a federal law, mandates that immediately after a school is informed of such an accusation it must conduct a "prompt, thorough, and impartial" investigation that should take about 60 days to complete, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Will the school's investigation investigation affect the timing of the State investigation, timing wise? That could put this case over into February before a decision is made on charging him or dismissing him from school.

The accuser reported the incident to FSU police in December 2012. According to the federal law listed above the school had about 60 days to complete the investigation. FSU, FSU police and TPD all swept this thing under the rug and hoped it would go away. IMO this only helps the victim's case.

I agree, P. When sweeping occurs it creates the inescapable sense that there was something to have been swept.

[Marshal Dillon]

Incredible. The Tallahassee place bungled this badly, now FSU is in CYA mode and worried about being sued and looking bad in the world of academia. They both have a lot to answer for, but it appears everyone was more worried about the university and the football team than a potential rape victim. Heads must roll.
