Been out fishing all day and didn't get bit by anything but dolphins and sharks. This makes it all better. Great to finally have TSJ vindicated and cleared of this mess.

Still nothing from ESPN. what a joke of a network they have become. If it was one of their beloved Dukies it would have been the front page within seconds saying “breaking news”

If TSJ's attorneys weren't already fired up enough to bring the Malicious Prosecution case against DA Valdez, this "statement" should definitely be the tipping point in making that decision. What a warped person Valdez is in such a position of power that even following a jury's quick and decisive verdict in favor of TSJ after an inept prosecution she still does not understand the importance of the "presumption of innocence" in our criminal justice system. Sue her.

The reasoning of that opinion was almost as bad as the Kansas DA's case, but all's well that ends well.
Illinois Basketball, somehow, did not come to harm from our star getting charged with rape in the middle of the season. Justice served, but incredible good fortune on our part.
Bleacher report beats them on any breaking news EVERY TIME. Today is no different!
To the people saying hang the jersey- Illinois has the following rules for that:
Players selected to have their jerseys hung must have achieved any of the following criteria:
1) National Player of the Year
2) Enshrined in the National Basketball Hall of Fame
3) Big Ten Player of the Year
4) Consensus First- or Second-Team All-American
5) Illinois All-Century Team Member
6) Individual whose pioneering efforts made a significant impact on Illinois and international basketball
Unfortunately thanks to the charges, his chance of being a Consensus All-American was taken from him. Maybe he'll get selected to the next All-Century Team.

Hang it up
Sadly the average fan will not see much on this since the people that trashed him won’t say a word. Many will only know and remember that Gary Parrish, Chicago Trib and others said he was a guilty rapist. Hope I am wrong and people apologize. This would help TSJ a lot.
Ready to lace them up and run through a wall!!
I am overjoyed for TSj. I now hope he ignores everyone imploring him to sue someone out of anger and revenge. He does not strike me as someone who is or will be defined by the terrible things he has gone through, he appears to be so much more than that. My prayer for him is he moves on and successfully continues to live the exemplary life he has lived to this point in time.

No mention of the verdict on the Score yet.
I believe their point is that he would have been a consensus AA had it not been for these bogus charges

don’t hold your breath waiting
And this us why there exist the Innocent Project. If TSJ didnt have the resources, he us doing 15+ years. But then again without resources he probably isn't targeted.
Hang his jersey in the SFC rafters! And he needs retroactively added to ALL the AA lists. The amount of crap TSJ had to endure for this horrible lie is unfathomable. He handled it with grace, dignity, and supreme confidence. Love this dude.
