Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I'd be fine with Ariza trying out again with the Bills this off-season. No reason to bring him back before the season is over though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guilty by accusation is cheaper than having charges dismissed in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t know she was underage, there are witnesses that say she was telling everyone she was in college, and in CA that’s defensible toward it not being a criminal offense There is actually a video of her saying she’s 18 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was botched from the get go. Too much at stake in a University part of town... Police told the university to stand down... Well that's what was said at first.

GunnerBill Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, UKBillFan said: There was a big debate in the UK at one point whether those accused of rape or sexual assault should be named whilst investigations are taking place (for other offences, they are not until brought to trial). This is not correct. For any criminal offence in the UK you are liable to be named once you are charged. The argument on sexual assault is should the accused be named given that the alleged victim now has a right to anonymity which remains beyond trial, even in cases where the accused is acquitted. Given my new role I have to be a little more careful than before about what I say in public fora about elements of UK justice policy, but my views on the slight wrong turn we have made in turning the criminal justice system into what I describe as the victim justice system are well known even on these boards. A lot of well-intentioned policy pursued by Governments of both colours for reasons that are understandable but have ultimately left us with a less objective, more emotionally-charged and ultimately more flawed system.

Yes, on one of the context calls he admitted to sexual contact with the accuser. Doesn’t mean he’s guilty of statutory rape in California. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Another reason why all sexual assault cases should be sealed unless criminal charges are filed. No names should be released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The team released him as a PR move so they wouldn't look bad, they should have waited to see what the legal system did. There is not a punter even close to his level and i would bring him back in a heartbeat. And yes we do punt and consistently putting teams deep ever time would be worth it.

They cut him because they didn't want to deal with busybodies in the media who rushed to judgement. Can I have a million dollars? If it's really not that big a deal, then you shouldn't mind tossing me a spare million. On the other hand, if you wouldn't voluntarily part with a million dollars, then it's kind of gross to hand-wave somebody else being robbed of that. The girl still left his house, bruised and bloodied. They just cant prove anything since everybody was wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Like I said, and this thread outright proves it, he was still found guilty in the court of public opinion. Bringing him back would be no less a PR nightmare. Guilty until proven innocent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean where a man can have his life ruined in the court of social media with only an accusation? Plenty of men have spent a decade or more in prison for crimes they never committed due to this type of crap. Sometimes they are proven innocent by DNA evidence, but sometimes because the witness admitted they gave false testimony...in once case it was because she admitted she "was mad" at the guy in jail and claimed he raped her. Could you imagine? Dude sits in jail for 15 years and only gets out because a new defense attorney starts taking a deeper look and noticing the inconsistencies of the statements the accuser made, but only once she is questioned again does she admit they were lies...she would have happily let that man sit in jail the rest of his life and just pretended it didn't happen! Probably never even apologized to him for it. Of course she doesn't go to jail because the statute of limitations had ran out. And even if she did, what is she going to get? 3 months?
