tennesseeboy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The way the DA put it...there wasn't enough evidence to prove "beyond a reasonable doubt" that Rothlesberger committed a sexual assault, and the victim wasn't ready to go through a public trial. I don't think Rothlesberger has exactly cleared his name. Let's see what the commish does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty0424 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 He still has to worry about a civil action in which there doesn't have to be evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, only a "preponderance" of evidence. This thing could cost old Ben a bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 He still has to worry about a civil action in which there doesn't have to be evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, only a "preponderance" of evidence. This thing could cost old Ben a bundle. There will likely be a settlement involved and it will never go to trial as well. Either way, Ben needs to quit getting drunk and putting himself into these kinds of situations. Wise it would be in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobillsinytown Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I get a lot of Steelers coverage where I live, about an hour away from Pittsburgh. Based on what I'm hearing, Ben's in for a long year. Not only is he going to have to deal with Godell, but he's going to have to deal with the Rooneys. Then he's going to get pestered all year long by the reporters who cover the team. I don't know the guy personally, but I'd bet he's regretting going anywhere near that bar.

Leonidas Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 This was a ridiculously stupid "article." You guys shouldn't have responded and just let it fade away into TSW obscurity. It was already halfway down the page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 a 3rd incident ?? http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports/neweng...uper-troubling/ Oh brother, here come the 'me too!' stories from every skank he's ever been near and their attention starved lawyers. Kinda like how every idiot who crashes their Toyota now comes up with a 'stuck accelerator' story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper802 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 He followed the girl into a bathroom. She was intoxicated. The doctor couldn't prove rape but she had evidence of intercourse. Only in Georgia can you get a DNA sample and have it be inconclusive. He had sex with someone who was unable to give consent. He is a f*&(ing piece of sh$t!!!!!!!!!!! I challenge anyone who has a daughter to say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in such 'Hotspots' as Middlewhatever, Georgia Leodis, I found humor in it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Rothlesberger has exactly cleared his name. Let's see what the commish does. The woman asked to have the charges dropped 2 weeks before the DA made his announcement not to charge.

John Adams Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 He followed the girl into a bathroom. She was intoxicated. The doctor couldn't prove rape but she had evidence of intercourse.

I challenge anyone who has a daughter to say otherwise. I have a daughter. Evidence of intercourse does not equal rape. And evidence of intoxication does not equal inability to give consent.
