Big Ben accused of sexual assault

Let me guess, they told you it was the creatine?

there you have it

I don't believe Ben did anything to that girl. Ben needs to be careful or get married real quick. Those gold diggers will ruin this man. They are relentless and won't stop. I am speaking from instinct. Leave Big Ben alone.

hmmm

Barhopping at 20 years old hmm

I am not really seeing a Jenny Craig before and after photo here. Some people just have chubby cheeks even when they are thin. To say becasue he has gained some weight he is alcoholic is kind of a stretch.

Yeah, he could be on Cell Tech. :doh:

Maybe they should just hook Ben up with that whale down in Florida? Problem solved. GD I'm smart!

Big Ben may be in real trouble here. From pictures and accounts, it sounds like he was shitfaced and was being belligerent to other girls who turned down advances. Most likely, he doesn't remember what really happened. I am real curious if he will testify. I would think the prosecutors will focus on how drunk he was and whether he could control himself. It is going to be a tough sell to say that you went to 5 bars with a "Drink like a Champion shirt" and that your eyes were half shut because you were tired...

It is good that he can afford a big time attorney because he is going to need him. He is probably facing a big payout to her regardless.

Yeah he looks shitfaced...

It is. However like I said earlier wearing a shirt like that ("drink like a champion") doesn't bode well when you try to convince people that you don't have an alcohol problem and of course if it was the only thing then fine, but this on top of a laundry list of dumb decisions.

WAIT..........didn't I see this guy on a Geico ad? "Even a Rothlesberger could do it"?

Well i'm not saying Ben is guilty either, but this time it sounds like he's really done it. Too many witness reports that all say the same thing, the fact that Ben has to submit a DNA sample, and the results of the rape test, which obviously wont be revealed until Ben is tested....

rape trials are very very difficult to defend. the pending result of a SAFE (sexual assault forensic evidence) kit will define this case imo. if they are able to race his dna, his only defense is consensual intercourse which turns into a he say, she say.

you could be convicted of rape with little more than a crying sympathetic looking woman up on the stand saying you did it. despite all other evidence not supporting her version, that jury will only remember that crying woman, mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, etc...

in a rape trial last year, we did a voir dire of the venire pool, more than half of the 150 or so people either were sexually assaulted or had a close one who was and had to be excused. interestingly enough, 28 of the first 32 potential jurors were white women. i personally think the state atty and jury commish were in on it since they were all friends. dont be charged with rape if your a black guy in a rural county in maryland.

with rape, once that word is uttered in a courtroom full of prospective jurors, they have already made their mind up before hearing and considering all the evidence.

i will say big ben, now, is set up to be vulnerable to any woman's accusation of rape or misconduct. after this case, any woman could make a claim if there is a scantila of evidence he will have to plead. something like witensses saying they saw them together or saw them leave together is all the corroboration needed even though the fact that they were together just places him there and not that he did a crime.
