Lots of circumstantial details in this. If they have those phone calls, he's a dead man.

 

The Bills can't just ignore this.

Doesn’t sound like he’s being accused of the gang rape, just that he had sex with someone who wound up being under age. Same thing happened to Mark Sanchez and nothing happened.

I think there is def more to this and most likely proof that he is innocent (my opinion that doesn't really matter).  IF so, I hope he sues the ***** out of her.  If otherwise, I hope he gets what he deservers.  I think that is a fair statement.

This CAN'T be accurate right? 

 

 


were they supposed to cut him based off accusations he was never arrested for??? People here drive me nuts with this type stuff!!! Innocent until proven guilty right? At least give the benefit of the doubt until the guy is charged with doing something wrong!!

I can't imagine any attorney advising her with civil and possible criminal proceeding ahead to be talking about it. Anything she says in these interviews she can be crossed examined on and used in court by the defense. There's just no good reeason to even chance saying something stupid. You can bet defense attorney's will be askingvthe television studio for the whole interview, not justvthe snippets that were shown.

I would assume shortly  after she would have gotten an atty prior to any media interviews taking place and they woukd have gotten tapes of the full interview.

I get that! But almost a year later no charges have been brought. So now after he secures his job less than a week later a lawsuit pops up. You don’t find that odd???


A different perspective- I do not find it odd that a potential victim who went to the cops about her potential rapist who then proceeded to not charge him (yet) decided to sue him when he earned a huge paycheck. 
 

There have been zero consequences for a man who she claims raped her. It makes sense she wants consequences. It makes sense consequences that would also benefit her are considered.

My guess, is suspension until this is resolved.  If (and there is a strong possibility) he is found guilty, then he is cut no question. But if he is found not guilty of ANY wrong doing, then he stays. 

 

The Bills can't afford a distraction within the team and organization of this severity.

 

 

From what the NFL can do, a suspension isn't possible (like being put on the commissioners exempt list) cuz this happened pre-NFL time.

 

My guess:  no criminal charges are filed, and it's settled out of court.  This must be what the Bills are banking on, cuz it looks really bad from what we've been given to read.

Wawrow.  He posts here, btw: @john wawrow

Some of the tweets are replies, so it's worth taking a look at the originals as I'm not savvy enough to figure out how to capture them

 

But from what Wawrow is tweeting, it sounds as though the case may be less cut-and-dried than the lawsuit makes it seem.

 

People have different opinions, but I personally have a lot of respect for John Wawrow as a journalist working for AP and required to have two independent sources for everything he writes.

 

So I'll be interested to read his story.

No *****, of course the lawsuit which is 1 sided will make it sound cut and dry lol

First reaction for anyone with common sense and level head is to just let it play out and not jump to a conclusion one way or another at first news…. I know know, it’s such a novel way of handling things in todays environment 


obviously. But this report is unbelievable.

Innocent until proven guilty is only required for 12 people on a Jury.  Everyone else can spout of their own opinions based on allegations as much as they want.

Agree give it some time but the first reaction does not look good on McBeane and the culture. This could spiral out of control in the locker room and the season. 

I mean, we are the Bills, so… this is probably what’ll happen

I would think that if recorded phone calls exist, it would be pretty stupid of the lawsuit to mis-state their actual content.

Going off Warwow’s tweets, Araiza is possibly claiming never to have had sex with her, even with consent? But what about the detetive guided phone call?

 

I can start to see what the Bills meant by a thorough investigation though still feel uncomfortable about the whole thing.
