To do that, they'd have to prove that he lied to them about the situation. If he's innocent, he's not doing an a very good job showing it. Fwiw, I do think he likely did. I don’t know that it’s related to the main allegation, but I’ve thought from jump that the Bills would say they lost trust in him because he misled or omitted ancillary details.

This feels like a much more serious Eric Wood non-retirement press conference. It’s a good reminder that this FO and PR team is certainly fallible. They’ve botched some of these legal/PR issues before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 And yeah, I'm very passionate about this because something similar happened to a person very close to me. If it took nearly a year after reporting to the cops, going to the hospital & doing all the tests, and fully cooperating with the investigation, only to STILL be waiting to see if they're even going to bring charges? Yeah, it'd be insanely painful! Add to that the person who did it is now all over sports media & social networks getting hype & praise, it only would add to the misery. If the person who attacked my close friend wouldn't have done it two more times in neighboring cities, who knows how long it would've taken to finally arrest him. It's not like they could force him to take a DNA test when he wasn't already in the system, but he then left his DNA at the scene & was identified in a lineup soon after the 3rd attack. Until that happened, people asked me if my friend was partying or if a date went sideways, not even realizing they were trying to mentally establish some sort of possible innocence for the attacker. Telling people "NO. She went out to grab laundry basket from her car at 2 in the morning, then some random guy brutally beat her down & ****** her" was not information she or I wanted to explain to the world. Now imagine the attacker suddenly was on the news for being drafted by the NFL, then kicking an 80+ yard punt that spread all over the internet. Pretty sure the last thing you want is the entire world to suddenly start Screaming at you "innocent until proven guilty!" Or "she was drunk at a party" or "she's after his money!" The victim I knew would've died under that kind of scrutiny. The saddest part of this story is that the 3rd victim of this attacker got in touch with my friend trying to reconcile her trauma. After a month, her father called one night while we're grilling, and my friend started balling. I asked what was wrong, and she said the girl committed suicide, writing a letter to my friend saying she felt so dirty she couldn't live anymore. Didn't mean for this to be so dark, but people need to realize these things are extremely serious, & isnt the same as someone who said their coworker made disparaging sexual remarks or they were sent inappropriate texts. Allegations this severe, and reported to authorities immediately with no incentive beyond proving guilt & getting justice, rarely appear out of the blue. Something very bad happened to a 17 yr old, intoxicated high school girl involving Araiza, and being shaken down for money doesn't cut it. /rant #2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Beane seems to be saying that Araiza's defence has not changed, so no 'lies' or holding back from him. This all seems based on the civil charges being bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilleon is a plaintiff's lawyer who gets paid on a contingent fee basis...he gets paid based on how much his client recovers from the defendant(s).

TampaBillsJunkie Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 This sucks.This kid was a keeper and could have been one of the best punters in Bills history.

Einstein Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) He was either guilty and he needed to be cut, OR he is innocent and his situation still had the possibility to derail or be a hindrance to a Super Bowl season Either way, I understand and respect the teams decision to move on. .
