he is accused of drugging and raping a young woman....is that called being “so silly”? (cops botched and delayed the investigation for several months )

Uhhh...no.

You see, I read the 80-ish pages of evidence. Multiple witnesses had the victim, while extremely intoxicated, inviting herself into their car as they were leaving. She is what is known as a "Cleat Chaser" - rountinely throwing herself at players. There was no accusation of drugging.

The victim put forth several contradictory stories and was reluctant to give a statement to the police. She only did after her roommate told her parents that she was very late coming home. It seems that to cover her butt (so to speak) she made up a story about being kidnapped and raped. Wouldn't want Mom and Dad to really know what she had been up to. Parents pressured her into making a report to the police. Worried that they might find Winston's DNA (after the consensual sex), she identified him as the rapist. The fact that they found her boyfriend's DNA on the same underwear speaks volumes of her habits, if not her hygiene.

I don't know , I am a guy, but taking advantage of a very intoxicated female tells me more about Winston's character and his habits.

The accuser gave contradictory testimony. There's no debate about that.

However, remember that Winston's two 'eyewitnesses' (both FSU football players) gave contradictory accounts of what happened. The TPD relied heavily on those two witnesses. Drugging was discussed. Tests were done for alcohol and other drugs, but not for date rape drugs.

Chris Casher recorded some of the sexual activity on his phone, but the Tallahassee Police Department waited quite a while to contact him. By that time, the video had been erased.

The TPM delayed and bungled the investigation, whether the accuser made up the sexual assault or not. The jovial nature of Florida state attorney William Meggs's press certainly promoted the tone that the investigation was not taken seriously - and certainly wasn't pursued in a vigorous and timely manner.
