No charges filed against FSU’s Winston
Tampa Tribune ^ | 12/05/13 | Staff Article

Posted on 12/05/2013 11:13:20 AM PST by shortstop

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will not be charged with a crime, State Attorney Willie Meggs said Thursday after his office completed an investigation into a sexual assault complaint filed a year ago.

“We’ve carefully examined the evidence in this case and found that no charges will be filed,” Meggs said at a news conference in Tallahassee.

The decision means Winston remains a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and will be able to continue playing for the No. 1-ranked Seminoles.

According to a January search warrant released hours before Meggs’ announcement, the woman who accused Winston told police she was raped at an apartment after a night of drinking at a bar.

Meggs said there was not enough evidence to bring the case to trial.

“The facts known indicates this: she had a MFM three some that she wanted to have, while not even drunk, and then was sorry about it afterwards….”

That is really pretty insightful, I think.

Free Shoes University condones rape and tramples a woman student’s word to win a Heisman trophy.

...and I’m certain you have evidence to prove either of the two assertions you’ve just spouted...

This is not like Duke Lacrosse incident. The victim filed a report and the authorities and they did not investigate for months. In fact, they told her at the time she reported the attack that she shouldn’t pursue this because it would cause her a lot of trouble. Winston said he didn’t even know the girl. Finally, due to the relentless follow up from the victim, the authorities were forced to investigate, and whaddya know, “a subsequent sample of his DNA matched evidence obtained by police at the time of the incident.” Then his story changed from “I don’t even know her” to “it was consensual.”

Hey, but boys will be boys, and Free Shoe U is up for a National Championship, so let’s just call her a drunken slut and move along.

So he banged a chick so drunk she was incapable of giving consent. Guess that makes it OK. When I grew up a gentelman would not take advantage of a woman that drunk. Those that did were considered scum. Yes, I am getting old.

This is almost identical to Notre Dame’s football program KILLING A WORKER and only paying a $40k OSHA fine.

...you can’t be as obtuse as that statement makes you sound...

Have you seen or heard any mention of her race?


I am unaware of her background (family, race, etc).

The OSHA fine at ND may have only been 40k, but I think the parents got millions.

So are you a U of M or Gaytor fan?

Weren’t there recent articles published about the “hook-up” culture at universities/colleges? Is she a hooker-upper?

Nothing like the ol' presumption of innocence, huh?

Were you there? Did you see what happened? The States Attorney involved is releasing all the evidence collected to the public. They always do that in a good cover up, don't they?

STFU, you don't know what you are talking about.

That was .01%

A person can’t drink enough booze fast enough to get to a 1% before dying

No, I was thinking 0.1%, not 1%. Oops. I’m decimal limited today for some reason.
