The settlement called for all public colleges in MS to have the same admission standards.
This is the way it was for generations in Louisiana. If you had a HS diploma and a body temperature of 98.6, you got in to any state university until selective admissions were implemented a few years ago.
As an aside, I always laugh when I hear people say, and he has perpetuated it, that Terry Bradshaw didn’t go to LSU because he couldn’t pass “ the admissions test”. There was no admissions test in ‘66 !!!

There was a tweet from one of her friends yesterday implying he had been an abuser. It's somewhere back in the thread.
Yeah, I saw that tweet. I just think it’s a bit of a stretch to go from being a manipulative a-hole to being a cold-blooded killer. I Interpreted it like he was the sort of douchebag who only came around when he wanted sex and was an a-hole to her otherwise, causing her a great deal of emotional anguish. Maybe not, though.
Admittedly, I have never been in a physically or emotionally abusive relationship, so it is difficult for me to understand that dynamic. However, if her friend truly thought he had been a monster for years who was capable of murder, I’d think she’d have tried harder to get Ally to be done with him. Again, though, that whole dynamic is hard for me to comprehend.

I wonder if this is part of an insanity plea like a "nobody in their right mind would ride around with 2 day blood still on them" type of argument.
It's possible he hadn't gone home yet since it happened either. Saw another report that said he had her phone and purse in the truck too. So maybe he was trying to stay low in memphis and slept in his truck.

More sorority alumni scuttle butt:
They met as freshmen at Ole Miss and have had an on again, off again fling the entire time they've been there. (NOT BLAMING THE VICTIM) She was attracted to guys like him even though her friends warned her.
Also, he came from money - she came from middle class St. Louis suburb (Sunset Hills) and went to a regular public high school. The sorority that she was in was founded in 2017 and she was a founding member.
He was known to throw money around Oxford like it was nothing.

good grief, my take on Ole Miss is that it's a heavy percentage rich kid school...so he must have been pretty well off...

I doubt, with a doctor dad, that he had more money than the average Ole Miss white kid.
shite, in my pledge class I had the son of the guy who started Bass Pro Shops (who was a really nice, down to Earth guy). I knew Berkshire Hathaway executive kids, Shell executive kids, etc. I knew quite a few people with family jets. Ole Miss money is ridiculous.
That quote is just exaggeration.

Just a picture of a guy and girl. Very very common in college when people are maturing and trying to look popular and have a ton of friends.
This isn't a mature characteristic. Seems more like early high school to me.

A kid with a doctor's dad that runs the Pain Management Clinic of Texas may have had access to more than money.
Ole Miss is full of uber rich out of state kids, rich in-state kids that think they are uber rich, and people who want to be rich either by marriage or career. It is what it is.
Country Day in Fort Worth is a $26k tuition high school. Its the sixth most expensive private school in DFW (Shelton is north of $31k)
St. Andrew's is by far the most expensive in Mississippi and its just over half of that. Most Mississippi private schools are under $10k or even $8k. But these kids grow up as "rich kids" in Mississippi, and they are relatively. But they cant play with the Dallas/Atlanta or even Memphis crowd.

I'm not saying all... but the rise of "Pain Management" clinics correlate with the rise of the opioid epidemic in the US.

2 things, average? Come on. Doctor means different things. If he owned pain clinics that's likely a different type of money then say a standard practicing physician. The average parent of an OM student doesn't make $200k. Come on. Frat money is different then avg student money.
2ndly, this kid drove a platinum F150 right? Just because you "throw" money around as a college kid doesn't have a lot to do with your true wealth. It has a lot to do with your parents being idiots and giving you a bunch of money as a dumbass college kid.
A parent could give a college kid $30k a year and that would appear like a shite ton of money to a college kid.

That kind of money is nothing. I'm just saying, I doubt he stuck out as being more rich than other kids unless he had a side hustle.
Having a doctor dad is just average there.
But...he might've made his own money selling drugs so he always had a ton of cash and flaunted it. There appears to be a good chance of that.

Actually the really wealthy, smart, and motivated kids in MS would usually go to schools like Vanderbilt. Ole Miss gets the unmotivated, spoiled brats... kinda like this kid.

$200k is nothing man. And to be fair, I said white kid. But your point is valid. I'll say white kids who ran in the party circles (which includes fraternities) that he had average money.
Doctors make a lot more than #200k.

I had several friends with brand new Range Rovers, Escalades, Denalis, etc. ETA:
I am not trying to sound uppity, snobby, or like I'm a spoiled rich kid. I was also "average" in my circles. My parents also didn't give me much money in college to spend.

This is my experience as well. Ole Miss is being made out to be SMU in this thread

A lot of the rich Dallas kids that wanted to go to SMU but didn't get in go to Ole Miss.
There are a lot of similarities in the culture.

I think that's what they were insinuating. He liked to flaunt money and possibly had a side hustle.
If he was found with the weapon in his truck and her blood on his clothes, I am confused by his dad's statement - unless his dad is a delusional prick like he was.

Maybe so...but Ole Miss is over 50% out of state undergrad now.
And the rich kids in Jackson from JA and Prep flock to Ole Miss. St. Andrews is a different animal, though I had several friends who went there.
