re: Barkevious Mingo arrested for Indecency with a child. Could face up to 20 years.

The fact that you haven't seen anything from them or anyone else in the media still doesn't mean much, if anything.

And that’s fair. As I said, this by itself is evidence of nothing. Just a small piece and possible red flag. We can only discuss what we know. There are just some things about this case so far that are troubling for mingo.

Thought this was interesting. Did not know this, but apparently Mingo lied to police:

quote:

---

In a June 17 interview with Mingo, he denied sexually assaulting the victim and told police he had two rooms - one for him and one for the two children. However, the victim's friend told police that he did not sleep in the same room with the victim that night, which police said contradicted Mingo's claims.

---

So, he took the victim to six flags, bought him a bunch of things (which the purchases were confirmed) then they went to a hotel. There were two rooms. Mingo said he slept alone in one of the rooms while the kids slept in the other. The victim and the other kid (who is Mingos family member) dispute this. The family member says he did not sleep in the same room as the victim. Yeah this doesn’t look good for Mingo. This also disputes some claims that Mingo could not do this while there was another kid in the room. Because there wasn’t.

This makes me so sad.

I would expect someone to come out and say something in his behalf yes. Mingo has met many people in his lifetime. I don’t know what kind of relationship he has with his family, but I would expect someone to say something positive on his behalf. That happens all the time. The only things I’ve seen are negative.

---

He will have no shortage of character witnesses. As for biological family I’m not sure because I don’t know them. He wasn’t estranged though from my terrible memory. I believe he had a Micheal Oher type situation at some point in high school where he may have moved in with one of his closest friend’s family. Not 100% sure.
I wouldn’t hesitate to say in court that I had nothing but the highest respect for him with not a single negative thing. I wasn’t in his close group of friends and lost contact but spent a considerable amount of time around him and I thought he was as genuine and innocent of a person as one could be.
But I always suspected though that he would struggle fitting in with an NFL team but that’s because he just seemed so shy and not a fit in what I imagine an NFL lockeroom would. And he definitely bounced around in the NFL. He was no Ray Lewis personality type that’s for sure.

But I am wrong about most things. I’ll admit that.

How old is Barkevious now?? In that pic he looks like he's in his 40's now, but he can't be no more than around 30, right. It would be hard to believe and even harder for him to have to carry around hiding his true identity if he really is gay. Dude should just come out like the Oakland, sorry, Las Vegas raider player did a few weeks ago. I knew a lot of guys I grew up with, played ball with all the way up to highschool level that lived the same kind of lie. Know that they were into guys, buy was too afraid what their buddies would think of them, so, they kept the lie up. Some, even got marries, had kids and all, then eventually would leave the wife because they couldn't maintain the lie.

Gay isn't the issue here.

But now the story I read earlier in the week said the victim was older and a boy, now, it's a young teenage girl.Lol Smh These frickin stories are always all over the place, so my apologies. Smh

So, I'll just retract what I said in my first post, if this is the real story.

Yeah not sure how his attorney is going to get over that hurtle. The other kid is a third party related to the accused.

---

Putting on a defense attorney hat for about 30 seconds:

"The other kid is lying, too. It's all a setup. Please put a couple teenagers on the stand and let me cross-examine them about something that supposedly happened in the middle of the night in a dark hotel room two and a half years ago after my client--whom they and their parents implicitly trusted--gave them the best day of their lives."

Taking my hat off and jumping in a quick acid shower.

It was a boy, and he was 14.

13

According to the documents, the victim, who was 13 at the time, said he was invited by his best friend to spend the day with him and Mingo. Mingo, according to documents, is related to the victim's best friend.

You got comments on here saying it's a girl, and some saying a boy, I really don't care anymore, frick it, I've lost interest. When people have stories all over the place, it annoys me.

Next time, when you see a 15-page, days-long thread, read a few pages in before responding.

Also pretty fricked up that you don’t care just because your original assumption was wrong.
