so, this girl gets drug through the mud on national tv, and is basically labelled for life and has to transfer schools in hopes nobody ever figures out who she is, and no charges get filed. yep, that girl made out like a bandit in this deal.

Thanks to social media and sycophant fans it's not difficult to find out who she is anyway. That Shelley Smith didn't mention her name on TV hardly means she's going to float on through life anonymously.

Wouldn't be the first time that someone whose identity was supposed to be protected got outed. If she makes it to the end of the month with her anonymity intact, I'll be impressed.

Googling her name, 9 of the 10 top results are about Winston. Some of them even have pictures so you can see how HAWTTT she is.

I wish the gold-digging Nole-hating trollop opportunist luck in finding employment in Florida.

Yes. I would expect she would also sue the police department.

I wouldn't be surprised to see her file a lawsuit against both the PD and the university. If what I heard weeks ago that when a university hears about these things they are morally required to perform some sort of investigation.

Also notice the careful wording on the lawyer, he never said Winston was innocent, just not charged. He tiptoed around the question of 'were the witnesses FSU football players'. Plus I loved that Meggs and the lawyer were wearing matching FSU red ties. There definitely appeared to be holes in her case, but I have this funny feeling that if the accused were not a star FSU player there would have been a trial. Prosecutors do push charges if they see a 50/50 shot of conviction. I think in this case they wanted to be 100% sure. Meggs and his team just turned from prosecutor to jury.

If there's a chance that additional evidence may result in an improved probability of conviction, assuming existing evidence would result in a weak case, then electing not to charge Winston now is a good idea.

Peculiar case all around. The fact that the prosecutor was so equivocal in his use of language (including calling the young woman the "victim") means I look at Winston as a likely guilty but not convictable felon-in-fact. I know some may find this position to be objectionable, but it's the way I see him. I don't see the kid as "not guilty" unless and until a jury adjudges him so.

I agree with your assessment, except for the last sentence. A Tallahassee jury finding Winston 'not guilty' in a case like this would hardly affect my opinion of his probable guilt.
