    I know it's easy to cast aspersions at Mr Simpson, but...

    Who among us has not murdered our wife and her waiter friend a time or two, and then, after acquittal, written a book called "If I Did It"? 

    Let he who has not committed a double murder and then brazenly mocked the justice system via a cheeky, taunting book publication cast the first stone!

    I do still find it amusing that he made that book and because he'd lost the civil case he then lost control of the rights to it and they then changed the cover to this.

    And yet, under our binary system, "not guilty" is the only available verdict besides guilty.  So, even a person who is 100% verifiably innocent of a crime cannot obtain a verdict that is more favorable than "not guilty", at least in a criminal trial.  FWIW, it's my understanding that a person who was wrongly convicted of a crime can later be set free based upon a showing of "actual innocence", but that's not what we're talking about here.    

    That's because the system isn't for proving innocence, it's for punishing criminality while protecting people's right to presumed innocence. I know the process of getting cleared/retrial or however it is, is more difficult not sure if it's the same as being proven innocent, don't know not as familiar with that concept, just think I remember it being more difficult due to a loss of the presumption of innocence or something, not sure there is anything that proves innocence in our system not really what it's built for.

    I mean I’m not one to speak of ill of the recent departed but I mean he did indirectly introduce us to the Kardashian family.  

    To be fair to them they market themselves well, have to give them credit for that if nothing else.

    Not really if you put numbers on it.  Preponderance of the evidence you need 50.1% for verdict.  Beyond reasonable doubt? No one puts a number on it but assume it’s around 90% - 95% sure person is guilty. So not guilty in criminal case but guilty in civil case, juries believed defendant was between 50.1% and 90% - 95% guilty. Kind of crazy but that’s the system.

    Yes the point was being made that it's not "proven innocent" it's "not guilty" I was saying that it'd be strange for it to be "proven innocent" and then lose the liable case, because it'd essentially be like you said that 90-95% but going in the opposite direction for innocence.

    Semantics.  What is the practical difference? Under our system, “not guilty” is the only available “vindication” for someone wrongly accused of a crime. No one has ever been found “innocent”.

    The practical difference is it's not about you being innocent, not guilty just means they haven't done enough to prove that you're guilty, that's the point, if you had to prove yourself innocent it would be much higher burden because you'd have to actually prove it there wouldn't be an automatic assumption of innocence.

    Ok, he was found not guilty.  Can you explain the difference?

    The difference is very obvious "not guilty"- means they didn't find enough to say that you are guilty. "Proven innocent"- means they found enough to say you are innocent.

    Fixed it for you.

    This isn't picking a nit, it's an important thing to know about the justice system.  No one is ever "proven innocent" in a court of law.

    They are found "not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt".  

     

    It's in the instructions given to every jury in every criminal trial.

    Yeah it'd be weird for him to be proven innocent and then found civilly liable.

    greetings.

    My thinking is that by fleeing the accident he did save himself the DUI charges that he allegedly could have had otherwise.  It REEKS of being circumstantial he was partying when this all went down

     

    So he did get over on that. How much penalty he saved himself by doing that is an interesting thought.

    Some random people on twitter reacting to the story suggested they removed a firearm which that could be wild speculation, but they are in Texas, and from when they tried to give Ed Oliver that DUI having a firearm in the vehicle while committing a crime is another misdemeanor not sure how that's worse than leaving the scene of an accident.

    One would think, but when you're wealthy and can afford the best attorneys, you get all kinds of stuff like the Kansas City prosecuting attorney accepting a plea deal from Britt Reid for 4 years (commuted by the Governor after 16 months) because they were afraid they wouldn't win in court and get the 7 years he could have faced.....

     

    I'm just thinking that a bunch of the charges will get dropped on some technicalities unearthed by a crack legal team or due to quiet offers to settle with the injured parties who will then stop cooperating with police and ask that the charges be dropped.  Then he'll be offered a plea deal.

     

     

    KC isn't the team to give up on a rookie who had 938 yds and 79 receptions, just 'cuz of a felony charge, or two, or eight.

    Yeah I definitely never count out the rich/powerful/or adjacent to it from getting bailed out trouble the rest of us wouldn't, on a positive note he's not in trouble in the same State or district as the team he plays for.

     

    Maybe could plea down to lesser charges, it's hard to see this not being serious though with how aggressive they went at him though.

    Because it's clear the young guy behind him has potential, is cheaper, and younger, and we already have played like two seasons without him for significant portions anyways.

    This isn't accurate across his entire career Milano has missed 19/115 games and that's including end of the season games where he's a healthy scratch because seeding was already decided. As for Williams his potential to fit in a similar way is nice but that's about all it is at this point just us talking about it, which isn't something I'd like to rely on.

    What a joke that a teams fans lose the home opener to the season. Absolute let down. 

    I mean that's one way to look at it, on the other hand they get this weird travel game out of the way right off the bat then the next home game will really be their opener.

    It's weird that there's all this coverage of him with his movie star girlfriend who by nature of who she is always gets pictures taken of her whether she wants to or not, or him playing golf at televised events you know literally things with cameras or that YouTube personality whose whole point is to get noticed.....strange.

     

    But CJ Stroud's offseason work is getting so much notice almost as if this is the first offseason he's had that isn't the rookie season run up, it's his first real offseason he has control of.

    No. Now why did you have to call me out at the end. The thread started out as a question during the offseason after Josh Allen himself said he doesn’t do as much as he use to.

     

    The thread wasn’t a joke. People being sensitive that I would ask the question made it a joke. I took Josh Allen’s own words and asked how people felt about it. Simple as that.

    Josh said it clear as day. He use to throw 4 times a week and now it’s more about relaxing. He also said he comes back to Buffalo to get in shape. 
     

    How much Allen does away from Buffalo in the offseason is up for debate. The fact is he says he does less now than before.

    This is just ridiculous, so many veteran players have said that a major part of the offseason is figuring when to ramp up things to transition into the season, it's not that confusing a concept. I mean even at the end of season press conference he said he felt his mechanics had gotten to real good place after recovering from his injury and that he wanted to maintain that. In his first 6 seasons in the NFL no one has more TDs than Josh what are expecting him to learn as a thrower to teleport the football? What do people want him to watch more film because there's never going to be any photoshoots on that.

     

    Getting together with his WRs is nice but there always seems to be a limited number of times they do that and he's not likely to know who that all is until after the draft, wouldn't be surprised if we got 2 new faces

    Saw this video a long time ago.

     

     

    Made me enjoy his story, guys an incredible heel.

     

    Guy who made the video might be like an actual monster though just a disclaimer, not that there's anything in the video, just something that you go "well *****." when you read the YouTube comments after watching a video.
