A. You wanted him suspended and did not care one bit about Due Process.
B. A reporter posting portions of the motion has what to do with Due Process? Especially your supporting suspending him pending an investigation (that never got very far).
C. The lack of swab evidence may make a conviction harder, but there are issues on swab timing, etc. and there is still her word versus his (at a minimum).
A. Yes, I think the University and the AD should have the right to suspend someone without a criminal conviction. Everyone agreed with that last year, but now that it’s us suddenly it’s a minority opinion among Illini fans. A judge said they don’t have that right, so obviously that needs to be abided by. I don’t remember Pierre Pierce or Brandon Miller or any other number of players for other teams getting the “they can’t suspend him, he hasn’t been convicted!” treatment from Illini fans - in fact, most Illini fans vocally wanted Miller suspended despite not even being charged with a crime.
B. A “reporter” (being generous there, Kedric is an absolute moron) posting an excerpt from a motion from his lawyer with the obvious intent to slut shame the accuser is going to sit wrong with me, yeah. Remember this isn’t the first time he posted something like this from Shannon’s lawyers and last time it was extremely misleading. That isn’t a coincidence.
C. The vaginal swab will be important, and if they knew he was excluded by that evidence it’d obviously have been included here. That doesn’t mean it matches, I’d guess it means his lawyers don’t know if it matches yet. But he wasn’t even accused as far as I know of anal penetration so the anal swab doesn’t move the needle really.
I agree that it’s her word against his, I certainly haven’t seen evidence that’d cause me to think he should be convicted. But this evidence is by no means exculpatory. A DNA match from the vaginal swab would make me think a plea or trial is likely though, and no match on that swab would lead me to believe a trial/plea is unlikely.
This was made public to get the exact “this crack whore!” reaction from Illini fans that JJ and so many others gave it. But it’s pretty obviously not exonerating evidence as so many Illini fans are pretending it is.
