re: BRPD: Investigation Ongoing, Arrests Could Still Be Made, May Be 10 Days

Wrong. Stone and White said they have witnesses that corroborate the player's story.

True ..said they were looking for a 3rd party not connected to the other 2 parties.

I think everyone should be drug tested.

Here are the facts:

1. There was a fight
2. 4 people were injured
3. Those injuries are apparent and clear
4. Those injured accused certain football players
5. Other witnesses accused the football players


6. The football players denied it

= Enough to be charged.

Here are some unknowns that probably can't be proven:

1. Who actually instigated the fight
2. Who actually caused the most severe injuries

I understand that they could be charged. To be honest, I wouldn't have a problem if someone were charged, but you can see where this is headed.

They're going to interview fifteen witnesses who all saw something different, and in one week, they will have no new information to form a relatively firm conclusion on the two unknowns listed above.

This will drag out, and eventually, they will charge one of the players just because someone had three vertebra broken. This will go to trial, and it will plea for a misdemeanor.

My entire problem revolves around this: The BRPD's case is not going to become any less circumstantial. Just go with what you have, or leave it where it lies.

We still dont know what caused the broken bones so it was just a bar fight as far as we know.
Unless someone here has evidence of the contrary.

That's what I'm saying

You should post more often

Th anks for the Oregon image, nice to have a break to take a look at something like that among all else that is going on.

BRPD could choose to charge ALL parties with fighting.

Happens when you get he said he said.

Possible

I'm still waiting for EricB to tell me who caused the fractured vertebrae since he's been douching it up here for 3 days now.
