Its what they didnt do

Which is what?

This cop is in direct contact with the university and he is also prejudging the case for the grand jury. Thats collusion.

That is not collusion with the University. That is the TPD officer remitting this information to the school. The officer may well have "prejudged" this situation but the school is being told this by the authorities. That is not collusion. This occurred off campus and is a criminal matter being handled by the TPD and the University is getting this information from them.

I know you are trolling but where do you see collusion? Collusion for what purpose?

AND TO PROVE MY POINT OF LEGAL LEVERAGE

quote:

---

The Rondinis learned the criminal case was back on the table only after they hired an attorney for a potential civil suit. Once they heard Megan might face felony charges, they decided it was best for Megan to drop the civil case, withdraw early from school, and go home to Texas.

---

So when Meagan filed the civil suit they played their trump card.

quote:

---

When investigating an incident of alleged sexual violence for Title IX purposes, to the extent possible, a school should coordinate with any other ongoing school or criminal investigations of the incident and establish appropriate fact-finding roles for each investigator. A school should also consider whether information can be shared among the investigators so that complainants are not unnecessarily required to give multiple statements about a traumatic event. If the investigation includes forensic evidence, it may be helpful for a school to consult with local or campus law enforcement or a forensic expert to ensure that the evidence is correctly interpreted by school officials.

- that regarding the title IX responsibilities - your comments made me wonder how everything was meant to be handled, but it seems that title IX officers are responsible for coordinating their efforts with ongoing investigations.

UPDATE: July 5th 2017

CBS NEWS GOOD MORNING AMERICA

CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman said the sheriff and his deputy are immune to the lawsuit under state law, but university officials could be vulnerable. "Assuming that you could prove causation of their actions to the ultimate suicide many, many months later," Klieman said. The sheriff's office would not comment for this story. We also reached out to Bunn but didn't hear back. The Rondinis say no amount of money will bring their daughter back, but any money they win through the lawsuit will be given to groups that help rape victims.

I smell FEDS

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see an investigation into TPD and DA coming out of all of this.

Can someone explain to me what Title IX has to do with this? I really don't know.....

---

At least you admit it.

I will probably say this somewhat incorrectly, but Title IX is i guess a statute for all university's - in any case it requires the institutions to provide a safe environment regardless of gender - in this case, investigate any allegations, provide support etc.

The title IX officer is named in the reports as not responding quickly to her parents and some other items which i can't remember now but are outlined in the filing. It looked like the officer handled it poorly according to the way the filing is written but all will come to light eventually.

Good luck with that.

The criminal case is dead and the TPD and DA are shielded from liability. I think it's a huge stretch to say U of A is in the wrong here.

Sweet T on the other hand....that m.f'r should get sued.

Good luck with that

Not my job. The FEDS will root that out.
