How so? How are the statements of three minors going to pass the "reasonable doubt" threshold to make this worth prosecuting? “The police are looking at cases based upon probable cause, which is a lesser standard than is used at trial. That standard is reasonable doubt and is much higher and one that has been used since the beginning of the criminal justice system,”

He said, she said. Prosecutors only bring slam dunks to trial and the word of three minors doesn't carry much water. Especially if Kromer brings his own, contradictory story line into the mix... http://www.pjstar.com/article/20150620/NEWS/150629947

It will be hard for a prosecutor to file on this with only hearsay allegations from the kids. An arrest in and of itself doesn't prove anything. Cops often arrest people just to diffuse situations knowing the person will be kicked shortly after they get through booking, as Kromer was. At this point, the only certainty is that the parents are lining up for a civil suit, which is as American as Apple Pie and Lipitor...

So true. After an initial story breaks, the real value of online media sources or MBs are the comments section. They're a never ending source of amusement / amazement...

That's bupkis, IMO. While a certain segment of the fan base may think "it's the players job" to sign autographs, it's not really. Their job is the time they spend on the field, court or rink. Anything else they do is discretionary, unless the employer requires it. The sense of fan entitlement to their time is what many players object to when they come off as "less than enthused" about a request to sign something, pose for a picture or chat like an old friend when it's not in a team-sanctioned setting. Or in a world where it's not atypical for '...I'm a big fan of yours' to make money off their 'memorabilia'... That so many players are gracious and friendly is actually remarkable. That some aren't, not so much...

Given that the biggest thing on their Facebook page before this was pictures of the local rodeo, that seems to be a given...

Huh? The only bleeding hearts I see are people that want to wait for all the facts to come out. They seem to be outnumbered by the rush-to-judgement croud, but that's to be expected at TSW...

Wait? I thought they were out fishing to put food on the table and support their families? Now they'll all starve since their rod was thrown in the water...

Sigh....

Well, the line forms to the right... http://tbo.com/news/education/after-political-contributions-donors-will-expect-access-20150101/

Yep, it's all interrelated in a symbiotic/parasitic way...

Anybody feeding at the Medicare trough, of which their number is legion....

It's Florida. Of course it makes sense given the pandering politicians and retirees they cater to. I own a second home in central FL and it always creeps me out to see how entitled a large swath of the 65-plus croud is. The only group with more clout and legislative backing is the medical lobby...

Yes, I found that odd. Especially the inclusion of the kid's allegations.,,,

Hey, lightning can strike twice...

What do you mean? What could be more credible than the statements of three minor teenage boys out together after 1:00 am...

Consider the source...

So...'he said, she said' on the minors part. Can't see this going very far.

More like 'welcome to TSW and Internet MBs"...

Fuk that Florio...

Both of those looked staged...

Build that bully... Released within 90 minutes with no bond requirement...must not be much of a dust up.

Not surprising. It was obvious how much Bill loved his time in Buffalo. Everything was new, the comradery he had with the players and scouting staff. Almost like your first true love vs. marriage after 20 years or so...
