More details on Blackwell/He was escorted out in cuffs
"I wasn't doing an investigation or anything," Blackwell told police. "I was just trying to find out exactly what happened."
The righteous shall be jailed.
1) Despite Dantonio's silly tweet about Copeland not being kicked off the team. That is totally false. When the kid got hurt he started to skip class. Academic casualty as well as issues with "accountability - weed."
2) Cassius Peat was told not to return because he was not the right fit "culturally.". MSU made it clear to him that he did not meet their expectations.
3) Blackwell did in fact "interfere" with the investigation and he did ask the players to delete evidence.
4) Every player must leave their cell phones in a box at the door before entering any of the athletic facilities. No more distractions.
I don't know how to take:
Cassius Peat was told not to return because he was not the right fit "culturally.". MSU made it clear to him that he did not meet their expectations.
It either means he had too many priors, or not enough. I'm not sure these days which is more likely.
Just received word that one more will in fact transfer. Who is keeping track? It will be announced in the next couple of weeks.
probably Bowers
Is this in addition to the rumored 1-2 DEs that won't make it out of Red Lock™?
I'm guessing Lewerke. Just because that would cause maximum hilarity.
Blackwell was trying his best to keep his boys from going to prison. Were there other people trying to do the same thing?. I am all but sure of it. I really want to know what Dantonio did when Robertson alledgedly told him of the incident. Blackwell was led out in cuffs and then MSU gave him a raise while suspended wtf. This school is so screwed up it has left me completely confused. A guy reports a rape and days later commits a rape, once again wtf. I am so lost on all of this,can someone please give me an educated guess on what actually transpired after incident one ( gang rape ).
Man as much as I hate MSU (in sports) this whole thing is a non stop shocker-thon. The only thing sadder than this to watch is the kids who got hurt in all this shit.
And in that moment, Curtis Blackwell really and truly and finally became...a Michigan State Spartan...
Are you naive enough to think Blackwell is going to tell the truth. I am pretty sure he was complicit in a rape cover up. Of course Robertson saying he told Dantonio about it confuses the issue even more. I am pretty sure it will all come out in the wash, well hopefully.
if he gets a deal? absolutely.
There's a difference between wanting to hear a tell-all interview and actually believing that will happen.
I don't think anyone would give any credence to what he said about his own involvement, but I'm sure he knows where at least a couple bodies are buried. That's the part we want to hear... :)
Preferably, I'd want the interview conducted on a witness stand by a lawyer.
What do you call a guy in handcuffs surrounded by five Michigan State Spartans? Coach.
What do you call a guy in a suit surrounded by 100 MSU Spartans? Warden.
If we're making bad puns.....here's another one:
Q - What do you say to a Spartan who's wearing a suit?
A - Will the defendant please rise?
I was thinking the exact same thing, but going even further...almost all the rumors, right down to who the players were, who the coach was, him getting led out in handcuffs, etc, have been true. Sometimes, gossip and innuendo end up being, you know, fact...
... and when did he know it?
you can be deprived of your liberty and in custody for legal purposes, yet not be in cuffs or even be in a jail cell.
Nonviolent crime or not, you just never know how someone's going to react when they're told they're under arrest. Maybe they come quietly, or maybe they pretend to and then grab for a gun. And let's face it, being walked out by the police is all it takes to raise eyebrows, handcuffs or no handcuffs.
Agreed.
Plus, I can just imagine the kinds of issues that would arise if the police were to start picking & choosing who gets 'cuffed and who doesn't. People who got handcuffed could rightly start questioning whether the arresting officers had objectively reasonable grounds for 'cuffing them. Lawyers like me would probably start analyzing whether police departments chose to 'cuff people of color or other minorities at disproportioinate rates. Departrments might have to draft much more nuanced "to 'cuff or not to 'cuff" policies, which puts more administrative burden on the officers, and so on.,,
In a perfect world with unlimited resources, all of this might be worthwhile. But for now it's probably better policy to let somebody take an unwarranted perp walk once in a while.
That is a detention...not an arrest.
case:
This is plainly XM's strike zone, but to pile on, you're "arrested" if you reasonably believe that you are not free to walk away from the police. One easy way to test if you're arrested is to ask the cop "am I under arrest?". If he or she says "no", then you can leave.
Otherwise, you're under arrest. Cuffs or no cuffs. Police cruiser, or no police cruiser. Jail, or no jail. It's about your liberty to leave at will.
You start with: "The court did not rule that stop and frisk is an unconstitutional policing tactic."
Then you contend that "Stop and frisk is unconstitutional. . . . making it not a legal reason."
Whatever point you're trying to make is irrelevant. The fact is, legal or illegal, the court found that it was an arrest.
