NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The girl’s attorney is behaving like a billboard special…you know the ones, catchy slogans to reel in the personal injury cases so he can take almost half of a recovery for which precious little is done besides a few letters. But hey, that’s our system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoMAn Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 2 hours ago, LeGOATski said: According to the ESPN article posted above, the Bills found out after drafting him, but before releasing Haack and naming Araiza the starter. The point still stands for sure, the Bills obviously felt comfortable with what they found. I can guarantee that detectives in the SCU would care and probably wouldn't be swayed by outside sources to disregard a case, but you never know. I think the fact that they didn't pursue criminal charges after investigating it is telling. They even recorded a conversation between the woman and Araiza. Maybe there is still time to make this a criminal case, but you'd think that would've already happened if it was desired. Who is this Jane Doe anyway? She seems to get into trouble quite a lot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not taking anyone's side, but that lawyer is an absolute piece of trash She wants her rape kit results. She wants information on the criminal investigation. She claims no one is cooperating with her. She’s the victim. It’s been almost a year. Imagine. Edited August 26, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are partly keeping him around(at least so far) because he’s good at his job.

Get your own attorney. But the second one…that seems to paint the picture that Araiza has been hiding something and that the Bills may be playing catch up because of it. But now that the Bills attorney is involved, things are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 If Araiza ends up innocent, he has a major libel case over that attorney's twitter post. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just now, ScottLaw said: Agreed… I find it funny the fans here when bashing the Browns with the Bills being holier than thou who only employ great people…. Almost impossible in this industry. The Browns rewarded Watson with a $230 million dollar guaranteed contract after 24 civil cases against him. There is a difference. This news broke about 14-15 hours ago and we are still waiting on the facts....from one person. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Oasis Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It all comes down to the rape kit results. Just crazy that it's been almost a year and the police won't give the alleged victim the results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 4 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Is it possible he’s acting this way because of the alleged crimes and the fact they’ve been waiting 10 months for the rape kit results? He was quiet for 10 months. He could’ve made headlines during the draft process. There is an ongoing criminal investigation. He didn't make waves during the draft because he didn't want to lose his chance at a nice payday. Let's see what evidence comes out and if criminal charges are filed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, Einstein said: To be fair, Tony Buzbee did this too and it helped him force Watson to settle. The court of public opinion is powerful. Yup.. There’s a lot of Bills fans on Twitter that I would never want in my corner at any point in life. Podcasters desperately trying to get Twitter clout and fans who want him locked up over an accusation. If Araiza did what he’s accused, then he deserves every bit of this, and the Bills deserve the heat for - so far - sticking by him. If not, or if it’s murky and he’s just a dumb college kid who was in the wrong place at the wrong time… this is a Black Mirror style example of modernity in the court of public opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 13 minutes ago, DRsGhost said: Its a very simple concept, yet we still have people acting as if he's been proven guilty already. Whether they don't understand this simple concept or are simply rejecting it I can't say. What is certain is they aren't adhering to the concept. The concept is a legal one. Joe Shmoe standing around the water cooler has no power to subject anyone to any criminal consequences. People are discussing these abhorrent claims. Everyone on the planet knows that he will not be subject to any criminal punishment until found guilty in a court of law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
