Think the DA might be floating this?--

I read that.
I just don't see the players, their families, or representatives agreeing to that deal. There seems to be holes in the case wide enough to drive trucks through and innocent people aren't inclined to plead guilty to anything.
The players really have acted innocently. The no-sex of any kind stance was highly unusual for a rape defense. Remember, how many talking heads said the Defense was making a mistake by boxing themselves in with their story. One Defense lawyer was picked for Stupid Guy of the week or something because they said the Defense was talking too much. Nancy Grace encouraged them to keep talking because they were going to get their clients convicted.
So, it could be a trial balloon, but I don't see the point for the players to take that deal.
In regard to that rumor - deal. I don't know how they get the AV and Kim Roberts to turn down small fortunes at this point.
Roberts may just be dreaming, but the AV has legitimate opportunities to make significant bucks. Not comparing anything about the 2 women, only dollars, but take Amber Frey. Her book was rated poor by reviews and she got a fat contract. She got a movie deal (CBS). Her career before that was as a massage therapist. Crystal has the whole black segment to exploit and she's sure to be a symbol or a hero to a significant segment of that community.
Do you think Jesse would like to "Campaign" with her? Do you think Al Sharpton would like to have her at his speaking engagements and marches? The NAACP? New Black Panthers?
The Honorable Minister Farakhan?
I don't see the AV, Mark Simeon, or any of her family letting her sign an agreement like that either. This is her big shot.
and the idea of protecting the AV by allowing her to concede that her memory was blurred because of prior attacks is just too convenient for words, but I guess it'll pass.....
amazing how lawyers can shade a situation.....
I don't think we'll ever have her admit to wrong doing...( that's JMHO)..I don't expect any apologies from the Black Pants' or the DA or the horrible Nancy Grace's of the world.....Wendy Murphy will have a cow as well.....
life is not fair.....if it was, these young men would be given monetary settlements from the MSM, the Durhan DA's office and perhaps the Duke University elitist who threw them head first into the fire......
BUT, I'd rather see this end with a settlement than to go thru another year of this......
and another thing....even if these young men are exonerated by this "plea" bargain of sorts, don't think they won't face constant scrutiny and be referred to as the Lacrosse rapist forever, because as in most cases, their guilt will forever be with them, despite the facts, because people tend to remember only what they want to remember.....I can just hear Nancy Grace now about how they got off too easy, etc......
It'd be sort of okay except for #5. No way would I agree to remain silent with a cloud over me and my entire future before me.
