    He says Winston and the girl had a ongoing romantic relationship before and after, and this occurred because Winston had a fling with an ex-girlfriend.

    A local lawyer who was on as part of a "courts and sports" recurring segment, says if there are picture of them socializing after..... this thing is dead.

    The local guy says he expects this to be dropped by Wed.
    I don't understand why such pictures would kill this thing. Why couldn't it be date rape?

    I agree with you that it does not look like this is another Duke lacrosse thing

    Plus, his contact wasn't because she was a stripper.

    I am hypothesizing here, but I don't think to many women are going to be raped and know about it (where as a date rape drug may leave them without the knowledge of it happening), then continue to hang out with that person beyond the incident. Since this woman had an rape kit done on her, she clearly knew it happened at the time and thus knew who it was who did it. Why would she have continued to hang out with or be around this person?

    Well, to be fair, he shrunk 6 inches the night he allegedly raped the accuser. It's possible that she didn't recognize him, especially after he grow another 6 inches the next day.

    Because you don't continue to socialize with someone who raped you. We'll see where this goes, but if there are pictures of them socializing after the event (which I have never seen) I doubt seriously there is a indictment.

    You were poking fun at the height discrepancy, which is rendered moot because of the DNA. The only question is consensual vs. forced, not that he was the one, is my understanding at this point.

    So if the question is one of consensual versus forced, the credibility of the accuser is paramount, right? So if the accuser associated with the accused both before and after the nght in question, it's first, puzzling why she couldn't give an accurate discription of Winston and it's puzzling why she'd continue to socialize with him after the night in question, if indeed Winston actually did rape her.

    So no, DNA doesn't render the height issue moot. The height issue cuts to the very heart of the issue of "consensual or forced". It's actually the DNA that is completely moot because Winston acknowledges the two had sexual contact and he argues the contact was consensual.

    It isn't moot when that's only his side of the story. It puts him there and now makes the DA have to consider the issue. Unless he is turning himself in and pleading guilty, why would he say anything but that?

    The DA had to consider the issue anyway. You know who was the least excited to get the DNA results? The DA. Why? Because the results didn't tell him a single thing that he didn't already know. Both individuals have already conceded that sexual contact had occurred.

    If the DNA results help anyone it's Winston. He's maintained that sexual contact occurred all long. The accuser on the other hand, did know who she had sex with until she later knew it was Winston.

    You've kind of argued yourself into a corner on this issue and I'm not sure why you chose to do so.

    On this Winston thing, until someone announces actual charges, it is all crap. The rule of thumb for all of these stupid NCAA related events is that 75% of what is reported is made up behind some random fanatics keyboard. It gets out on the internet, and then you have "pictures that can be found if you know where to look". If a sports figure or team is involved, reason and fact checking go out the window. Has it even been actually confirmed that the DNA was Winston's? The media ran with that all last week. Seriously.

    Auburn, Ohio State, Oregon, even Penn State, Kobe Bryant, Ben Rapistburger, what was actually confirmed never added up to the initial furor. Remember that someone reported that Joe Paterno made the coaches all shower at the same time, together, for bonding? That was like a whole week of crap. Even the stupid Teo fake girlfriend thing was embellished. How many people has Aaron Hernandez been accused of killing?
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    Believe what you like. I think things are just a bit farther along than "crap" at this point. Winston may be innocent, but there is smoke at this point. Nothing more, nothing less...but certainly more than a fanatic's typing.
