So, wait a minute... Ed Ingram loses a year

Ed Ingram loses a year of his life and they just dropped the case? WTF? So, you can just ruin a man’s life (possibly) and then just decide it doesn’t matter. IMO, Ed Ingram should have been allowed to remain on the team until proven guilty in a court of law; unless there is actually video evidence of him whooping dat arse. I’m not a fan of a woman just being able to accuse anyone of assault and there is an automatic assumption that the man is guilty. Obviously, in some cases the man will be guilty. In this case it appears Ed Ingram was falsely accused and lost a year of his football career. That’s sad if he was innocent the whole time.

A redshirt gives it back to him

Was it posted that the case was dropped?

Did a woman accuse him of something or was it an age thing that was reported by DFS? It sounded more like a technicality from my limited knowledge of the case.

Life is a trip. It's up to us to make the best of it for ourselves.

Nobody on the board knows what is going on. Was it dropped because it was a completely frivolous case? Or, because the accuser was too afraid to testify?
Either way, it is not a good look for Ingram. Best he can do is put his head down, don’t hang with bad crowd and focus on clean living.

Was it dropped altogether or plead down? Big difference. Either way, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about and sound like an idiot. But by all means, carry on.

To be selfish, a red shirt doesn’t give that year back to LSU necessarily as “if” Ed Ingram is good enough he can go pro early and LSU loses a year of his services across 2 seasons. But I do get your point. Still sucks that he was convicted without any actual proof, other than the womans word; or so it appears based on what I know. The case was dismissed so I’m speculating a bit.

Hopefully he uses that aggression on the field against some defenders.

The case was dismissed. He didn't get convicted. If he had, he would be in jail.

Clean living? The girl was 17 and he was 19. So stupid. Go back in your cave.

Dropping the case likely means that the DA did not have a strong enough case and the evidence did not support going forward. But I dont think they didnt just decide it doesnt matter. What does bother me is that if you followed the little bit of info from his twitter or other sources the DA probably knew this 6 months ago...

Cool. Didn't see that and hadn't heard it was actually dropped. Good for him. Sucks that he lost a full season and some change, but just move forward now.

Theres a wide swath of behavior and situations that fall in between “nailed on guilty as sin rapist” and “purely innocent bystander who is straight up falsely accused by a vindictive woman.”
Odds are Ingram falls somewhere in between those two extremes. Like a lot of these cases. And just like being charged doesn’t mean he did anything wrong, a dismissal of the charges doesn’t mean he was completely innocent of bad behavior either. Far from it.
We’ll likely never know what exactly happpened. Let’s just hope he has a good end to his career at LSU

Which isn't even a crime in Louisiana. These laws vary from state to state and creates a lot of confusion. Seems like it should be the same everywhere.

One of the most foolish things I’ve ever read on a board notable for foolishness. You are stating that there is some level of evidence that should result in his suspension without a conviction. You don’t know what the evidence against him is, but you’re outraged - OUTRAGED, I tell ya - that he was suspended.
You should not be opining; you should not be voting; and you probably should not be allowed out of the house unsupervised.

“The girl was 17 and he was 19. So stupid. Go back in your cave.”
Oh, I didn’t realize sexual abuse stopped at age 17. Must have missed that day in criminal law. But I bet that rule of thumb serves you well. Good luck with that.
Point is, don’t put yourself in that situation and you wouldn’t have this issue in the first place. But by all means, accuse the accuser with no evidence. Let me guess, she was asking for this by the clothes she was wearing, right?
I’m not going to convict Ingram. But I’m certainly not going to convict the accuser either. If they were both leaving clean, this wouldn’t be an issue. So don’t make it like Ingram is just some poor victim in all this. He did his punishment, let’s hope he learns from it. Expect he will.

So, you’re OK with a man losing a year of his life because a woman claimed he was guilty? No proof is needed and his life is destroyed? And I’m the idiot. Obviously, if there was actual proof of what happened the case wouldn’t have been dismissed. This kind of thing happens far too often where all it takes is any allegation without proof and the man’s life is destroyed. Not fair ! Hey, but if you’re OK with Ed Ingram losing a year. You don’t know what exactly happened either. Obviously, there is no proof.
