What's the scoop on Callaway and Treon

[Gator22222]

Total BS there. At no time did Meggs make any statement that even implied that the problems (holes) with EK's stories were connected or related to the TPD or FSU in any fashion. He made three observations under questions by the press about the TPD: 1) he said there was no athlete preferential treatment and 2) had his office been advised earlier they "might" have had access to better memory and more witnesses. No statement about FSU from him at all, 3) TPD fully , completely worked with the SA office " hand in glove".

"Meggs, the top prosecutor in Florida’s capital city for nearly 30 years, told FOX Sports recently he was handicapped in trying to conduct a proper investigation of the case. Meggs said he called attention to the fact that university officials apparently turned copies of the police report over to Winston’s attorney days before his office even knew the allegation existed."

"Meggs was highly critical of Tallahassee police — including the way investigators dealt with Winston. 'There was a whole long litany of things that we would have done ... you don’t call the defendant to make an appointment to talk about putting him in jail,' Meggs told FOX Sports in a recent interview. 'That’s a bass-ackwards way of doing things.'"

"Meggs told FOX Sports that in hindsight he has wondered whether he should have sought a search warrant for Jansen’s office to retrieve the reports and seek answers about who got them. However, he said he believes strongly that someone in the athletic department at Florida State turned them over to Winston’s lawyer."

"'It would have been pretty easy on Dec. 8, 2012, (the day after the incident) to determine who was involved in this event that happened that night, but that did not occur,' he said."

"'Anybody, as my daddy would say, with one eye and half-sense knows there are some things that needed to be done that weren't done,' Meggs said"

Wrong

Internet is your friend. Before you make a bigger fool of yourself, watch the Meggs press conf. and this time pay attention- about 30 min.. What's moronic is for you to try the strawman of someone trying to make TPD/FSU look good . You simply misquoted the SA and made up what you needed him to say. And that truly is sad.

Johnson has been a loyal devotee to the plight of accused Gator football players for years. Treon should be thankful for the public hatchet job Johnson did on Treon's first public accuser...which prompted her to withdraw her criminal complaint...reserving her right to bring the charges in the future. It put Treon back on the field and the police stopped investigating. The accuser, a scholarship UF athlete, left school. Another Huntley Johnson success story. At least one major news paper labeled Huntley team MVP for his efforts.

You do know that FSU has their very own Huntley Johnson, right?

"Attorney Tim Jansen, who has represented former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston, told OTL he is often alerted directly by Bonasorte (FSU associate athletic director) at the first sign of trouble.

"[Police] will contact probably Monk and say, 'We need to talk to this student,'" Jansen said. "Now, then my phone rings or somehow that magically does happen, and how it's done, I don't know. It's like making sausage."

This article also states.....

"When FSU players were named in incident reports, 70 percent of them never faced charges, had their charges dropped or were not prosecuted.

FSU had the most incidents — 18 — involving sexual assaults, harassment or violence against women of the 10 schools probed by OTL, which obtained police reports from 2009 to 2014. Only one case resulted in a conviction: former football player Greg Dent received a reduced charge of misdemeanor battery last year.

FSU had the second-highest number of student athletes — 66 in total or 18 percent of the rosters — named as suspects in police documents. Seventeen athletes were involved in more than one incident.

In all, FSU football and men's basketball players were involved in 107 incidents during the five-year period."

"The report states FSU associate athletic director Monk Bonasorte inserted himself routinely in a number of investigations to either arrange for legal representation for players and/or determine when and where police could interview involved athletes."

"One former FSU athletic department employee told OTL Bonasorte is the fixer for football. 'He knows where the skeletons are buried, but he also helps keep those football players, not out of trouble, but out of paying for the trouble they've gotten into,' the employee said."

You morons can try and pretend FSU and TPD look good in all of this. But you are putting lipsitck on a pig



No doubt that is why the elected to pay out nearly a million dollars for a botched Title IX investigation. Because they had "no jurisdiction."

You guys are sad, sad, sad.

Do you read what you write? Do you not understand that a criminal investigation and the Title IX (BS) investigation are different? Do you know what having criminal jurisdiction is? SMH

Now I'll grant you, having schools investigate crimes with kangaroo courts and nutty professors is a bad idea, but this is politically correct feminism which doesn't like the results of the criminal justice system regarding rape and so created a bogus requirement to investigate crimes so they get two shots at the accused. Albeit the Title IX one without legal due process. What's sad is that the universities have been forced by Uncle Sugar to do these drum head courts and now the male students are suing them too AND winning settlements for defamation. Great law that was originally intended to give women equal access to sports in college.

I commend you on referencing a deeply flawed OTL investigation that castigated UF.
