Jameis Winston (QB Browns)

So, how soon can your parents be expecting those new grandchildren?

Unless you know something I don't....

Anyway - actually I've watched just about all of Breaking Bad, I'm working on season 14 of South Park and I'm rewatching seasons 1-3 of GOT. I'm finding I just don't miss watching college football like I would have even 5 years ago. I still watch Ohio State but the other games are just background noise if the TV is even on anymore. Much more important things than to hear which network had what narrative to sell.

Kinda works the same way with the "news" networks as well.

Jameis Winston’s hearing ends without testimony from QB

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston did not testify on the final day of his student conduct hearing on campus. Winston did reportedly offer a closing statement, but he did not answer any questions regarding an alleged sexual assault of a female Florida State student.

Winston was not required to answer any questions during the hearing. It was his right not to answer any questions. According to a report by Mark Schlabach onESPN.com, Winston and his accuser spent more than seven hours in the hearing on Wednesday, which was on its second day. Winston is up against four counts of violations of Florida State’s student code of conduct. Winston could be expelled from the university in a worst-case scenario. Winston could also be issued a reprimand for his actions.

A final ruling may not be expected for another two to three weeks, according to John Clune, the attorney representing the woman in the case.

This is what I don't understand. This is not a court of law, and they are going to make up the rules as they go along, but if he chose not to testify I don't believe he should have been allowed to make a closing statement. A closing statement in this case becomes testimony that cannot be challenged.

PREDICTION: It will be declared that Jameis did not violate the Code of Conduct due to the fact that no new evidence had been presented during the hearing.

Seriously, if you're going to pretend like you give a shit, at least put a little effort it making it SEEM like you're actually trying to do something.

Free Shoe's Code Of Conduct Provisions/Procedures ( http://srr.fsu.edu/Student-Conduct-Code/General-Provisions-and-Hearing-Procedures ) defines what the school considers sexual misconduct and burden of proof:

1. Sexual Misconduct.

a. Any sexual act that occurs without the consent of the victim, or that occurs when the victim is unable to give consent. Consent is defined as the willing and clear participation in the sexual act. Inability to give consent includes but is not limited to situations where the individual is:

i. under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances (including but not limited to prescribed medications);

ii. unconscious, asleep, ill or in shock;

iii. under the age of eighteen and therefore legally incapable of giving consent; or

iv. known by reason of impairment, mental condition or developmental or physical disability to be reasonably unable to give consent.

Consent is not freely given if no clear verbal consent is given; if the individual is not able to give consent or if consent is achieved through force, threat of force, or coercion. Consent to one form of sexual activity does not imply consent to other forms of sexual activity. Consent is not the lack of resistance; there is no duty to fight in order to indicate lack of consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, as long as the withdrawal is clearly communicated by the person withdrawing consent through words or actions.

b. Obscene or indecent behavior, which includes, but is not limited to, exposure of one's sexual organs or the display of sexual behavior that would reasonably be offensive to others.

c. Conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for another person. This includes unwanted, unwelcome, inappropriate, or irrelevant sexual or gender-based behaviors, actions or comments.

2. The burden of proof at a first-level hearing always rests with the University. The standard of proof will be the preponderance of the evidence, meaning that the evidence, as a whole, shows that the fact sought to be proved is more probable than not.

This is a lot different than what evidence would be needed under Florida law to be "guilty of rape beyond the shadow of a doubt". I do believe that he could easily be found guilty by FSU of "sexual misconduct" here. I think it all depends what the girl said and/or evidence presented during her testimony. I could come down to who is most believable (i.e. she said vs. he said); the victim's testimony, police report, and rape kit, etc. vs. Winston's prepared statement. Regardless it will be drug out until after the last football game and Winston has no intention of coming back to FSU next year anyway.

Near the end of the statement, which was obtained by USA Today and published Wednesday night, Winston said the woman's claims were false.

"Rape is a vicious crime. The only thing as vicious as rape is falsely accusing someone of rape. (NAME REDACTED) and her lawyers have falsely accused me, threatened to sue me, demanded $7,000,000 from me, engaged in a destructive media campaign against me, and manipulated this process to the point that my rights have and will continue to be severely compromised. (NAME REDACTED) and her lawyers' public campaign to vilify me guarantees that her false allegations will follow me for the rest of my life."

Winston, citing university rules, said he would answer questions only when "experienced lawyers and other experts can assist me" and when the accuser "is subject to the penalty of perjury and other claims for . . . falsely accusing me of rape."

... vs. Winston's prepared statement.

All of the referencing by the outlets that the statement is Winston's statement is the most laughable part.

Will former Florida Supreme Court justice Major Harding read it as an honest and truthful, from the heart, outpouring of the facts from Jameis?

I'd think his experience would suggest to him that this is just legal jargon Bull Shit written by Winston's attorney.
