We learned that Guenther Jr. Is a liar or completely incompetent and UIUC has shit lawyers.
Nope.
You decided that Whitman didn't handle this correctly, that he had something in writing indicating that charges had been filed and he wasn't forthcoming.
Imo, the UIUC shit lawyers should have followed OSCR policy and kept the decision out of the hands of the man who said he had nothing in writing and was following the process used in other instances.
If the UIUC police didn't give Whitman the charging documents that apparently they didn't have, I'm not sure that Whitman should be your target. Were the charges under seal from Dec 5 to the end of the month ?
If the last information that FOIA shows is an Oct 24
opinion that
anticipated that charges would occur, wtf would you expect Whitman to do if he was given no updates until the end of Dec ?
"Tuesday, Dec. 5 — Shannon charging document filed in Douglas County, KS. It appears as though there is
no mention of the document being filed in the FOIA requests – by DIA officials or by UIPD."
Nonetheless, the judge granting the TRO held that OSCR policy should have been the deciding factor. The judge is saying that Whitman was put in a position that he shouldn't have been.
If you want to hold Whitman accountable, maybe it should be that he should have told the university to go fuck themselves and it is an OSCR decision, and not his.
