I think 3) would be awfully hard to prove. I get it’s a civil trial and preponderance of evidence is the burden instead of beyond reasonable doubt, but you’d have to “prove” (whatever the term is for a civil trial) that the DA did that.

I will always maintain that the DA proceeded to get a high-profile case as a distraction for her misconduct issues. But I would imagine that would be hard to prove. It would take others in the office basically saying “this case isn’t on the merits, but it’s a big name and I need the positive press”. This DA team is dumb, but I can’t imagine they are THAT dumb.

I'd sue her (the DA) anyways...even if I didn't think I was going to win. Just out of principle. Think of all of the hurt she caused TJ and his family.

I agree with the sentiment but what's the point?

She likely doesn't have enough money to impact someone like Shannon and Shannon likely just wants to move on with his life away from this mess.

True but also if you were put through this and knew you were absolutely innocent you would want justice as a victim. He absolutely was impacted financially and emotionally by all of this so it’s not always about money when trying to get closure to something horrible that happened to you.

Mr. Roberts
57 minutes? Holy cow! It had to take 45 to cycle 12 jurors through the bathroom.

The way certain media members handled this was truly embarrassing. Everyone just assumes guilty these days. There should be consequences for this behavior.

I’m eagerly awaiting the article on The Athletic. I’ll be sure to post an early comment encouraging everyone calling TSJ a rapist,
etc. to post their apologies as a reply. Guessing we won’t see a lot of apologies, but the forum will be there.

Just imagine if he doesn’t have the resources to fight this bogus charges.

I was on the jury for a murder trial. We found him not guilty in a case with a similar lack of evidence. After the verdict, we found out he had been in jail for 2 years, because he didn't have funds for bail. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is all too common.

Imagine if this was pre NIL. TSJ may not have been able to hire this top notch team of lawyers.

Eh, gotta imagine some defense lawyer would have looked at the case, determined it was extremely winnable, and then worked out a deal that TSJ only pays if they win (which enables him to make $$ in the league).

It'd be interesting if a subpoena were to be granted for the DA's emails/communication regarding this case. I don't foresee that ever happening, but if it were, I do think a massive case could be on the table
