Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again (Update- No Charges Filed)

No, I am saying that the courts should decide guilt or suspensions. Magic in no way should have ever missed a game if he was healthy enough to play.

 

OK, then I concede I should have been more clear. I meant "assuming that, for the sake of argument, the sex was consensual."

I do think that plenty of people probably read it that way, however.

 

Do rape shield laws apply to sexual assault cases?

 

Yeah, Karl Malone's motivation was morality.

Come on. His motivation was twofold:

- "I'm really ignorant about HIV and its transmission."
- "Wait . . .when Magic's around, we can't beat those guys."

Morality had less than nothing to do with Malone's stupidity.

I invite them to come out of the woodwork. And I'll be happy to concede when they do.

 

Yes. "Rape shield law," I believe, is just the term people use as shorthand.

But the answer to any question like that is that it depends on the state. But I would think that they pretty much universally apply to any sexual offense where there's a victim.

 

The forensic evidence that said there was no DNA involved and no real evidence of a rape or even strong proof that there was sexual intercourse -- which is a big reason there is no charges being filed.

It really is her word against his - and by the way one other thing - the orginal statement contained enough inconsistenicies and/or holes that she wasn't regarded as a credible witness.

I think Big Ben is a scum. I think he is the kind of arrogant prick that can't imagine a woman saying no to him.

I also know that this is still America --- despite the best efforts of some people to try and destroy it -- and you can't convict someone of a crime just because you are repulsed by his behaviour.

 

Is a suspension warranted, then? The National Football League is a private organization that has the right to suspend its employees for conduct detrimental to its image.

 

I agree.

 

Fixed.

 

Magic getting HIV hurt the image of the NBA. I think he was married as well, right?

Employeers suspending good, productive employees just because they do not like something about the person, IMHO, is wrong.

 

TIMEOUT!!!

What does DTF stand for?

You may now resume your flame war, thanks.
