FSU opens new investigation into rape accusation against Heisman winner Jameis Winston

Florida State is going ahead with a school investigation of star player Jameis Winston for alleged rape, even though prosecutors decided last December not to charge Winston criminally. (Source: WFTV)

Another FSU student claimed that Winston, who won the Heisman Trophy as a freshman in December 2013, raped her in December 2012.

Maybe now he'll actually be questioned by the Tally PD?

If I were the detective doing the questioning I'd take the first 25 questions from the glorious #AskJameis debacle.

If you play it, they will win.

Slow down there mister pointy-fingers. You've already asked more questions than the TPD asked Jameis and than fans that LOLUVA had at their spring game.

This might be one of those cases where there actually may have been more fans at the LOLUVa Spring Game than questions asked of Jaymus by the TPD

School Judiciary board?

To be clear -- this investigation is required by Title IX. And in a disturbing twist, they have to do this investigation regardless of whether a student is cleared by the police.

The Title IX law requires schools to investigate and adjudicate claims of sexual harassment and violence despite the outcome of any police investigation.

So say what you will about the local PD investigating Winston, and all of it may be true (or not, as we really don't know all the evidence their investigation may have uncovered, as they need to keep that sort of stuff to themselves in case more evidence shows up allowing them to move forward with a prosecution), but consider:

  • In many university judicial systems, the bar for guilt isn't "beyond a reasonable doubt".
  • The opportunity of the defendant to question the accuser is slim and none.
  • The ability of the defendant to both present his own evidence and use any sort of discovery process to reveal evidence the accuser may be withholding are greatly restricted.
  • Even the ability for the defendant to have legal representation is often not permitted.

The scales are very heavily weighted to the side of the accuser.

So for those that will cheer on a university pursuing these allegations, try to understand the context within which this action is taking place, and the difference in the judicial standards.

Justice should not be based on whether or not you like the defendant, or whether you think he and his friends acted like asses. Lots of terrible people do all sorts of things we don't agree with - Just remember, some people you meet in your life are going to think you are terrible as well.

The rule of law protects everyone against a rush to judgement, assholes and saints and all of us alike.

A student code of conduct violation could result in a range of disciplinary actions a written or verbal reprimand or expulsion.

I wonder which of these is going to happen...

Crableg Bootyhole investigation? Call me crazy but I bet is does not conclude until Mid-January and he will then be found guilty and expelled making his nfl decision that much easier. All of this after he garnerned big bucks for the ACC for taking his team to a big money bowl of course...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
