josh has two lawyers, the lawrence attorney, chahine and his counsel out of denver, scott boatman.  pretty normal for a college kid, i'd assume.  now please can we put this issue to rest so he can focus on school?


“Josh has already made a statement regarding this incident, which occurred almost three months ago in December,” said Boatman, a Denver attorney who has represented professional athletes.

leave the kid alone

So he has a lawyer who sells islands on the side. BFD.

Laura Bauer is making a name for herself, one I can't write here. Journalism is dead in this country. All that remains is political propaganda and jerks with a four year degree who think they own the moral high ground on every topic.

Stupid jerks with four year degrees ruining everything.

"This is America where people with money and resources always find a way out..."

Wonder where that money came from?

Trashing higher education while cheering on a higher education institution.

Pretty sure you can't bargain for a lie in connection with a criminal investigation

pretty sure you are right

Can I get a thread synopsis?

They are destroying this girl

Well she did throw a drink on someone who had previously punched her and kicked her in the face.  If that's not deserving of having your life destroyed I don't know what is.

Yea, I'm not clear on whether the police are saying that it's possible the car was already damaged before they started going ape-crap on it, or whether they just don't know how much damage is attributable to each person.  If it's the second, then it seems like you would just call it aiding and abetting a felony for each person involved and they would be charged the same.  At either rate, I feel better knowing the victim specifically asked that it not be charged as a felony. I HOPE that was a major factor in the DA's decision (much more so than the lame excuse they gave to the public).

The severity of the charge is a discretion of the prosecuting attorney.  When Bragg got instant diversion for his paraphanalia charge, like within a couple of day, that should tell you all you need to know how aggressively the Douglas Co DA will prosecute Jackson.

known dumbasses like Tully Corcoran and Nate Bukaty are on twitter claiming they were just trying to settle the case.

Seems reasonable. Most settlement offer usually do go like "How much to make this go away?"

Seems like it might be sort of rare to allow settlement offers in criminal cases.

[Dugout DickStone]

guess who you settle a property damage case with if it has been paid for by the insurer?

[catastrophe]

Yes, that's the rub. In civil cases it's a settlement. In criminal cases it's a bribe.

The lawyer chose his words carefully so that it sounded like an offer of restitution. "Oh, sorry for the damage to your car, let's not go through the hassle of fixing it and just replace it with this Corvette. It's the least we can do...as long as you swear under oath Jackson did nothing wrong."

[WildcatNkilt]

BITB emphasized last night when the new article came out that there is still an ongoing rape investigation with 5 KU players named as witnesses.  He also emphasized that a witness could also be a suspect but has not been named yet due to the ongoing investigation.  BITB loves to fish.

Kegan going to work on this girl's character.

I liked the reason he gave for her throwing a drink on him: "because, I don't know, he wouldn't date her anymore."

This is the exact question that came to mind.  Are these lawyers offering up their cash based on Jackson's future earning potential? 

[star seed 7]

Naw, he just bills annually

Also, what is their affiliation with KU?   Is this an improper benefit if they're doing pro-bono work and also falling under the purvue of NCAA booster rules?   If so, looks like they're going to be doing a lot of pro-bono work for a lot of KU students (like any student who asks), otherwise, it's an improper benefit.
