My guess if he was truly in the back seat that he would not necessarily have seen it to be able to confirm it and also couldn't categorically deny it if he wasn't watching the entire time.That of course assumes someone did in fact grope the driver - appears Jameis' statement makes no such indication that any passenger in the car did that.
Chris Casher?Per Jameis' statement it sounds like he is disputing that.
This part of his statement: "I believe the driver was confused as to the number of passengers in the car and who was sitting next to her. "
This tells me he knows who else was in the car and who was sitting in the front seat next to her.
Appreciate your love of Winston but this isn’t bloodlust. The woman reported it immediately. Right away. Your post makes it sound like without a video certified by the Pope we should ignore this stuff.I agree, he'll suffer publicly if he doesn't name names or the person who did it doesn't step up... but that's choice / consequence that is up to him to decide. I won't comment on whether he "should" "eat this", but we are a society of bloodlust, so he will.

So you believe that Winston was the only passenger and he was in the car next to the driver.Winston’s statement is not clear (which is sad because you know he paid someone north of 5 bills an hour to write it). But I will absolutely take the word of the driver who reported the incident the night it happened.
Exactly.So you believe that Winston was the only passenger and he was in the car next to the driver.
I'd prob stop thinking about it as much then.I’m sick to my stomach here. I hate it but the more I think about it, the more I think he did it.
It thinks it is responsible for societal repairs. Which is why no one is watching.Why is the NFL investigating this? Were criminal charges filed?
Likely won’t exist after 18 months. Most carriers destroy stuff after 6 because it is so much data.Exactly.
If this escalated to a criminal matter, with a subpeona, it would be pretty easy to pull cell phone tower ping data to prove a) if Jameis was in the car and b) if any of his friends were also in the car.
In so far as the driver doesn't want it to become a criminal matter, there's not much anyone can do to concretely confirm or deny anything.

Jameis' Statement:
A news organization has published a story about me regarding an alleged incident involving a female Uber driver from approximately two years ago. The story falsely accuses me of making inappropriate contact with this driver. I believe the driver was confused as to the number of passengers in the car and who was sitting next to her. The accusation is false, and given the nature of the allegation and increased awareness and consideration of these types of matters, I am addressing this false report immediately. At the time of the alleged incident, I denied the allegations to Uber, yet they still decided to suspend my account.
I am supportive of the national movement to raise awareness and develop better responses to the concerns of parties who find themselves in these types of situations, but this accusation is false. While I am certain that I did not make any inappropriate contact, I don’t want to engage in a battle with the driver and I regret if my demeanor or presence made her uncomfortable in any way.
Probably. But I spent a ton of time reviewing materials in the Kinsman case and defended Winston to many. Hate to see him do stuff like this.I'd prob stop thinking about it as much then.
Welp, then if Jameis is innocent, no one will ever believe him anyway (barring other evidence he can present to the court of public opinion).Likely won’t exist after 18 months. Most carriers destroy stuff after 6 because it is so much data.
Yes like wildfire across the internet. It makes me sick. I completely defended him last time. This one sounds more credible and if he did it he can just move along. But I also know that he is an EASY target now. Him and a femaile uber driver. uber driver says easy money from this rich kid with a checkered history.I didn't say it made it more credible, I just said it is now being reported in multiple sources.

Probably because there is a lot of these stories coming out now. Women are now more emboldened to come out with these stories.
Absolutely. And what "investigation" can be done thoroughly without the ability to subpoena?It thinks it is responsible for societal repairs. Which is why no one is watching.
She reported it to her employer/Uber at the time of the incident. She did the correct thing.I also find when these women say “I don’t want attention”; they actually really do.
Because if it’s not money and you didn’t feel bad enough to call the police then why now?
You really do not understand issues relating to sexual assault if you feel the way you responded. There are many reasons women do not call the police immediately and they are not all liars if they don't. What are they gaining from this "attention". From your response, ridicule, doubt and suspicion. I don't think that's the kind of attention they are craving.Sorry but I don’t buy the “i coming forward because it’s the right thing” approach. If you don’t call the police them it’s probably not a crime.

In reading this thread you seem to be bouncing around on this. His statement sounded great until the last sentence.Appreciate your love of Winston but this isn’t bloodlust. The woman reported it immediately. Right away. Your post makes it sound like without a video certified by the Pope we should ignore this stuff.

Because it is inappropriate for men to grope women. This isn't about individual attention, it's about drawing attention to something that has happened for centuries and finally taking a stand, and saying collectively with one voice, "This isn't right and should not be tolerated. By anyone."
The legality of these claims is completely irrelevant. It's a societal shift, in the right direction.
There's no way he publicly outs who did it, if he didn't. Zero percent chance.Just tweeted to Jameis to identify the guy if it was someone else in the car. Yeah, I’m a dork. But I defended him because it was right given the facts. I will always be objective.

I agree it’s inappropriate but it doesn’t happen as much as these stories try to make you believe.
As she is well within her rights to. Doesn't change the fact that she reported the incident immediately after it happened.And then later ran to a news service. Sorry but reporters can keep harassing to speak for a story. In fact some publications will give out decent sums of money to get you to speak.
And you know this how?I agree it’s inappropriate but it doesn’t happen as much as these stories try to make you believe.
But in this day and age it is so easy for a female to allege that something happened and profess it to the media, a sheisty lawyer and then the accused is found guilty in the court of public opinion no matter what the outcome of any legal action!.
As she is well within her rights to. Doesn't change the fact that she reported the incident immediately after it happened.
And I must have missed the part that prohibits them...I must have missed the part of the legal process that requires one to go a member of the press.
Well I was an assistant state attorney in two different circuits in this state and was in specialized units for domestic violence and assault. Most all research concluded incidents of sexual violence or assault are vastly underreported out of fear of repercussions and fear of not being believed. I have also been to many law enforcement seminars on related topics and never heard that many accusers are just making it up from them.Ask any state cop. I have so I know.
You mean the stories where one woman comes out and alleges something happened, then multiple others find the courage to do the same?
