Mmm - if that is the way it goes down then an over-zealous officer will have cost Henton season by default.

Then again, if the audio is not clear and the video is suspect that doesn't explain clearly why he was talking to a would-be chickenhead. Yes, there's no crime involved but if there's no trial and he was lurking then I would err on the side of no-fault and both parties just walk away. At the end of the day, he was talking to an undercover officer about sex for money. He might not have agreed to any contract but it still "got that far". I suspect he'll be happy if the the charges are dropped and he can go back to football.

I get the impression that he is seriously interested in clearing his name.

I am not close to the situation but short of the CPD stating they mistakenly assaulted his vehicle while he was driving to church because they received a tip from Homeland Security that a vehicle matching the description of his was transporting Osama Bin Laden, he is going to carry this stigma for a little while.

But I do hope that happens!:biggrin:

And why doesn't anybody read what tsteele and BKB have posted?

To make an arrest, an officer has to have "probable cause."

To get a conviction, the prosecutor has to show "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." Unfortunately, there is a decent amount of difference in the two. That is and has always been the problem.

Well, because I know others that are and it is not that simple. He pulled over and spoke to her. Why did he pull over? He saw a chick and was interested. She pulled a Tone Loc and informed him she gets paid to do the Wild Thing. He didn't clearly object.

My point is this...how can he "clear his name"? What is there to clear? He has been accused of Solicitation; a misdemeanor. If charges are dropped because there is insufficient evidence then he is not guilty.

Agree 100% being familar with legal shit through the years. if he was set up or maybe this word is better "entrapment" he has a case. So Henton should use all his angles, just like he did by pleading Not Guilty and see what the outcome will be by taking this to a jury trial.

I read what both of them posted...I agree, the officer is within the letter of the law. However, that does not make the officer(s) right. The purpose and intent of the law were stretched here.

Forgive me if this has been discussed, but I'm gonna ask anyway...

If it shakes down (no pun intended) that Henton has to dance with the law long enough to get ZERO additional playing time this year, is there anything that can be done to recoup the eligibility. He's a redshirt frosh already, right? And, this certainly doesn't fall into the realm of a "medical" redshirt situation. Is there nothing more that can be done?

(Not that it really matters too much if we can land Pryor in this class)

I seriously doubt the NCAA will grant an extra year of eligibility due to legal issues...
