re: Should Collins sue BRPD for defamation?

This is a CLEAR case of defamation of character,,,,, but it isn't on the part of the BRPD. It's on Collins himself. Your former girlfriend is murdered, and the police want to question you.
Let me make sure I'm getting this right: it's Collins' fault that he knew someone who was murdered?
Yes, I know that you followed the quote with a half-cocked rationalization, but ultimately, what does it matter how you "handle" being publicly linked to a crime you don't have anything to do with?
BRPD was under zero obligation to confirm anything. If Collins was not involved, that alone shows that they mishandled it because they would then have caused a tangible loss of millions of dollars.

Hey Moron, Did I say anything about re-entering the draft? No, I explicitly said FA which to most on here above moron level means Free Agent. I did say he could appeal (not at all likely) to get in a supplemental draft but if he simply got drafted in a late round even that appeal would be DOA.

I totally agree. Collins should fire his lawyer and kick himself for not making a brief statement. Heck, there are hundreds of pr folks at LSU. His brilliant lawyer advised him to not comment. Dumb move

Absolute692, a guy in the other thread claiming to have inside info is saying La'el will be in handcuffs tomorrow. Said something about a witness, then deleted it saying it was inappropriate to post.
Take it for what it's worth.

Innocent people have gone to jail before. What if he doesn't have a rock solid alibi...could he then become a suspect?
Freedom > any amount of money
Might not have been worth the risk to stumble in a presentation or God forbid field questions from the media.

Some of the people making comments here have been watching way too much Judge Judy. So far as I know the police made an announcement that they wanted to question him. Unless they don't want to question him, it's not defamatory.

Why are you calling him a moron? You said he could enter the 2016 draft on page 13

assuming La'el has not envolvement in the crime, the brpd screwed him over. this is obvious to anyone. they put his name out there 2 days before the draft and have not questioned him yet. clearly, there was no urgency to putting his name in a murder investigation 2 days before the draft. they said he was not a suspect. if not, then why cost him millions and then sit back for a week before questioning him. it was not urgent and apparently not that important to talk to him when they leaked his name.
again, assuming he is innocent, the brpd screwed him over.

No one is really a “suspect” until all the evidence is gathered. He is being brought in for questioning along with several others deemed close to the victim. I thought this was the case, but I may be wrong.

The timing of the whole situation is unfortunate for La'el, but he and his agent screwed this up, not BRPD. BRPD began trying to contact him the day after Mills was murdered (source). After a few days of Collins/Boren/Gilmore ignoring the requests, the media became aware of the situation. Collins still decided to board a plane and fly to Chicago 3 days after BRPD tried to get him to talk LINK. Only after his draft stock plummeted, did collins agree to come back to Baton Rouge to be interviewed.
If Collins had agreed to meet with BRPD as soon as they reached out, this may have been avoided. Collins/Gilmore wanted to wait until after the draft and quite frankly that's pretty arrogant to think the draft is more important than a murder investigation. If Collins was smart, he would have fired his agent already. Gilmore has proven himself incompetent trying to get Collins moved to the supplemental draft and then to the 2016 draft.

This has been said many times by many posters on this board, but I'll say it again.... It is a murder investigation. The BRPD doesn't give a shite about the NFL draft and they shouldn't give a shite about it. A woman and a infant have lost their lives yet people on this board for some reason care too much over how much money La'el Collins is losing over this.

if collins listened to his people about waiting it out until after the draft, he got some really bad info.
if he was contacted by BRPD and ignored it, then he has no one to blame but himself.

Most of the BRPD are not that bright. Note they got DNA evidence from JJ's shoes in a BAR FIGHT investigation.

The BRPD didn't put Collins on blast until after he refused to come in to answer questions. Collins has nobody to blame but himself.

Huh?
Not so fast, you obviously don't understand how this process works. The agent has forwarded to Mr. Collins some amount of advance money based on the potential NFL pay and a signing bonus to Collins that is now in extreme jeopardy. CAN Collins fire his agent? Sure, and then who will jump in and be his new agent? And who will pay the advance back to the agent which was given on a contingency basis to Collins? And then there's the problem that Collins' present contract with his present agent certainly addresses termination of services, who will address that issue? Collins pro se? Hardly.
If you were smart, you'd not make broad generalizations on this forum in areas in which you are not well-versed.
Like this one.

If you are so self-absorbed that you fail to understand the magnitude of a murder investigation, then you need to be humbled and deserve to have your cage rattled a little bit.
If your own unborn child is murdered and you don't do everything in your power to help police solve the crime, then you are not a man and have zero character.

if you don't know anything, then you cannot do anything.
