re: Anthony Jennings, Maquedius Bain, and Dwayne Thomas Arrested and Suspended

And like, I asked them, I asked them what they were doing here, and they said that they were going to wait, and they said they was going to wait right here. Yeah. And then I told them I would be in my room then, and so I went in my room and stayed there because I was skeptical about what they were doing.

---

Still in all, a good lawyer is going to have a field day with this. First he opens the door for the players. Secondly & most important, HE NEVER ASKS THEM TO LEAVE. HE WAS WILLING TO LET THEM SET ON THE COUCH AND WAIT, WHILE HE SAT IN HIS ROOM.

quote:

---

Anderson's roommate ALLOWED them to search his room. Don't leave that part out. It makes you look biased.

---

Dude really? He allowed them to search his room because they thought he fricking had Jennings stolen items.

quote:

---

While inside, Bain and Thomas confronted the individual with their arms crossed and standing close to him, while Jennings stood by the door, the report said.

Bain and Thomas reportedly told the individual "give us his stuff back" and "not to wait until the situation got out of control." The individual denied having any of Jennings' property and allowed Bain and Thomas to search his room for the missing items. The two, however, did not locate any of Jennings' items, the report said.

As the individual then left for another class, Bain, Thomas and Jennings followed him out of his apartment. According to the arrest report, Jennings told the individual that "If I don't have my s*** back at 2 p.m., it's going to be something."

The individual told authorities that he felt threatened and intimidated by Jennings' comment.

---

By allowing them to search his room, he proved to them that he did not have the stolen goods. And do you actually think that they wouldnt have searched his room anyways? Regardless if he "gave them permission" to search it or not. I mean he didnt give them permission to enter his apartment but they did anyways, which was the unlawful entry charge. I mean do you think they would illegally enter his apartment looking for Jennings stolen goods and NOT search his room unless he gave them permission? Not sure how that makes me look "biased". It doesnt matter if he gave them permission or not, they already committed the felony of unlawful entry of a dwelling.

quote:

---

They all have LEFT the apartment. They are outside.

---

Cool. This has to do with that?

quote:

---

Jennings tells him a deadline for Anderson to produce the other stolen items.

---

Really? And im the "biased" one. Anderson wasnt even there. If he would have said "tell your roommate if i dont have my stuff my 2:00, somethings gonna happen" then yea i would ne with you. But Jennings told the ROOMMATE "if I dont have my shite back by 2:00, its gonna be something", not Anderson. It says in the quote that Jennings told the individual that, nothing about Anderson. And thats on top of Bain and DT telling the kid to "give us his stuff back" and "not to wait until the situation gets out of control"... What was said to the roommate by Jennings and by Bain / DT is literally the definition of threaten.

quote:

---

You have obviously dug your heels in and there's no way you'll concede, but you're dumb as hell if you don't believe the roommate legitimately felt threatened.

---

Dug my heels in?

I stated several posts ago that Anderson's roommate "felt" threatened.

quote:

---

I think he should have to sit a few games and from a personal level I hope it's a wake up call for the more talented Harris to cease the moment.

---

No shite. I know how you feel. You are one of Harris's biggest admirers.

However, as I have always, always, always stated, if the coaching staff wants Harris to start, I'm 100% behind that decision. Some of us are NOT biased about who starts at QB. Harris has talent. I hope he's ready when called upon. I also hope that he seizes the moment.

quote:

---

he did break into the apartment. the apartment of the anderson kid. it's his room they broke into.

---

You contradict yourself in your own sentence. They didn't break into Anderson's apartment. They allegedly broke into Anderson's room.

quote:

---

they forced themselves in the other entrance to the common area/space.

---

:smh: You certainly are creative.

quote:

---

i'm referring to his room as his apartment

---

That's creative, but words have meanings. An apartment is an apartment, and a room is a room. They have different doors.

quote:

---

they weren't exactly "let in" with permission as they forced their way in when the other room mate opened the door

---

They didn't "force" their way in. No one ever alleged that they used any force.

yeah you're right man. keep fighting the good fight.

This debate over the room/apartment bullshite is laughable.

Regardless, of what distinction you want to make, they were intruding in a university residential area without the consent of the resident and/or LSU staff.

quote:

---

Plain & simple, the unauthorized entry charges will be hard argue for the prosecution because the witness allows them into the apartment willingly. In terms of the letter of the law, I'm not sure that charge covers breaking into a separate room once a defendant is willingly allowed inside the residence. The DA's office will most probably offer all 3 pleas for a lesser charge here if they are not dropped altogether.

---

People need to realize that visits were paid to that apartment twice that day. One with Jennings, Bain, and DT, the other with DT and 6 or 7 others.

quote:

---

On the morning of June 12, Jennings approached an unidentified individual -- Anderson's roommate -- and asked about his stolen laptop, according to LSU police. The individual denied any knowledge and after returning from an early morning class to his apartment, the individual heard his front door open behind him, the report said.

When he looked back, he saw Jennings, Bain and Thomas coming through his front door, the report said.

The individual told police he did not know why those three men were in his West Campus apartment and he did not invite them in.

---

This is where Jennings, Bain, and DT unlawfully entered a place of dwelling.

Later, DT and "6 or 7 large males" returned. DT then proceeded to bash in Andersons bedroom door and took the PS4 and showboxes. This is why DT got the additional charge of misdemeanor simple burglary.

Jennings and Bain were not there the 2nd visit, when DT kicked in Andersons bedroom door and took the PS4 and shoes. They were only there the 1st time, when the kid came back from class and got into his apartment and closed him door. Then he heard his door open behind him and saw it was Jennings, Bain, and QT coming in uninvited. Thats when the charge of unauthorized entry of a dwelling occured.

Everyone likes to just focus on the 2nd visit when QT busted down Andersons bedroom door and took the PS4 and shoes. But he got a misdemeanor simple burglary charge. Unauthorized entry of a dwelling happened on the 1st visit and is a felony.

quote:

---

You have spent HOURS trying to defend Jennings, so much so that you're saying some pretty stupid things when the fact remains that he was arrested and used poor judgement.

---

I have merely pointed out the errors made by others. Errors like "confessions," "breaking into the apartment," how many incidents occurred, when the incidents occurred, who was charged with what crime, and the "apartment" being different from the "bedroom."

I have not ONE time absolved Jennings of his actions, and I specifically stated that the facts as alleged appear to make the men look like they committed a crime.

I specifically stated pages ago that I don't know how this thing will resolve.

quote:

---

stop twisting things to make them fit your narrative

---

I don't have a narrative. I'm just trying to get others to straighten out THEIR narrative and examine the facts.

quote:

---

Kg I've been trying to explain this but people conveniently jump over it and i just watched the video, they intimidated a "nerd" or a "soft spoken kid".

---

Trust me... I know. Im about done with this

And yet, the guy still never asked them to leave and allowed them to search his room even during the first incident.

Bain and Thomas reportedly told the individual "give us his stuff back" and "not to wait until the situation got out of control."

We can go round & round on here all night but a lawyer is going to eat these statements alive. The guy says they weren't invited yet never asks them to leave. Then he also allows them to search his room. This is far from being a slam dunk conviction for this charge for the DA's office which likely will mean a plea bargain by both sides.
