4 years in and unless he makes the tournament this year, his best season was last year's 27-13 record with an NIT runner-up.
I really don’t see how they have any choice if these charges turn out to be accurate.
If he strangled his wife? Yes.
Ray Rice's wife wanted the charges dropped even after the elevator video was released to the public. Your cynicism is warranted. It's a sad reality for cases like this.
Ding, ding, ding.
Yea I mean my understanding is that the phrase “press charges” is a bit of a non-sequitur and that at the end of the day a prosecutor can more or less do what they want as far as whether or not to charge, but that if the victim doesn’t want to pursue it/participate/etc. it makes the case a lot harder and in some cases impossible (depending on the type of crime and other evidence available).
Exactly. If my wife made that kind of money and gave me the credit card, she could strangle me once a week.
Not trying to hijack this thread, but last week, the San Diego DA announced last week that no criminal charges would be filed against Matt Araiza (the SD State/Bills) punter because the evidence was "conflicting". There still is a pending civil suit against Araiza.
I was mostly commenting on income sources and not wanting to lose said sources. I used to do some domestic law, and when you represent women with children, you don't want the abuser to lose his job because she needs the child support coming in. And I just thought it was a bit wacky of the victim's attorney in that case to file the case before trying to settle it because you know (or should know) his ass is getting cut as soon as that suit is filed. Punters are fungible. Years back, I spoke with someone who had been a sexual harassment victim of someone who was well off and well known locally. I referred her to a friend who sent a demand letter, and it was quickly and quietly settled with an NDA. That's how you get paid. What's the point of filing suit, and punishing the guy publicly but not getting any money as redress.
If he's a violent dude, filing a suit won't change that. It just publicizes that fact. The whole point of filing civil suits for money damages (as opposed to injunctive relief) is to obtain said money damages. Getting a paper judgment against someone who is not employed does not accomplish that.
