Not an accusation. She was indentified by the state while investigating the EK case. No one has much detail but we do know she never claimed he raped her. Ever. She apparently felt he was very aggressive and the sex got out of hand. In all likelihood this is what happened with EK - it was voluntary but went farther/rougher than she wanted. It explains all the evidence, including the timing and how things got co-opted by family and lawyers.
No it isn’t. You’re making that up. All they need is a remotely credible complainant. They didn’t.
That’s not true at all. Most of these cases are settled unless someone has a dead on lock case. This is doubly true with Winston. He was already “cleared” as much as he could have been. He had nothing to gain by going to trial. If he won, no one on either side would change their mind. If he got a bad jury and lost, he suffers a ton. No point at all to take that risk when settling costs less and is a constant distraction. Imagine how many espn stories would lead with quotes from his depo?
Settling was smart.
Disagree a bit on uber issue. While it may not make sense to fight the NFL (to some degree) but it would be easy and cost nothing to make public the evidence of only one ride if it’s true. The only reason I can think of for not releasing those things is if they don’t exist.
Context does matter. Everyone was saying that at the time. I was totally offended when this came out. But my son as at FSU at the time and said I was over reacting because I didn’t get context. Kids all over campus were yelling it all the time. It’s still childish and stupid but it wasn’t out of the blue.
