Woooo! The state's investigation of Jameis Winston was beyond screwed up. I listed some points:

[Are_grits_groceries]

1-The victim's attorney requested that the urine and the blood taken from the victim be retested. She wanted to confirm they were the victim's and would confirm the original tests that found no drugs in her system.
The attorney wanted this done as part of the state's investigation and because the victim had many symptoms that were consistent with having been given a "rape" drug. Meggs had the blood but not the urine retested. No results were give.

2-The state gave out a packet that contained the report from the investigation. Included in that report were the medical records of the victim. However, the attorney compared them to the records the family had obtained from the hospital. There were several omissions. The notes about her injuries were not included and neither was the order for pain medication for her.

3-One of the points that Meggs and especially Winston's lawyer beat to death was the assertion that the victim did not act as if she was concerned about the rape after it happened. Meggs stated that the victim made 48 calls after the incident. They said this was evidence that she was ok and talking and texting many people.
The attorney obtained the victim's phone records. She only made 18 calls. 6 were to her parents. 8 were to her friends. The others were to people who aided her after the rape. She was hysterical after the incident.

4- Meggs did not interview the 'outcry witness.' This is the person that a victim has contact with first. The first statements made are extremely important. What was said as well as the victim's condition at that point are crucial.

Edit to add:
The blood and urine were not sent to the lab for 37 days after the incident. The attorney requested that Meggs check the chain of custody.

ESPN cut away before she was finished. I think she had a lot more to point out. I am waiting for a news article or other report from the press conference. Needless to say, I believe somebody with no connection at all to the state or anybody in this case should now investigate all of it as well as Meggs. His investigation was a sham and the information released was not true in parts and slanted to cast a negative shadow on the victim.

Bastards!!!
@McCannSportsLaw: Alleged victim has till at least Dec 2016 to sue Jameis Winston. Could wait for him to enter NFL in 2015, sign contract & endorsement deals.

1. And this is a surprise?

A big time football program. Set to play in the national championship game for the first time in a LONG time, and alumni and state officials protect the quarterback. Welcome to collegiate sports in 2013.

It s wrong as rain, it is indefensible but it is reality. Look at Penn State for crying out loud! I told my husband they would sweep this under the rug and they did. And tomorrow night he will be given a heisman trophy for his good character.

Women on a campus like Florida State have no voice against the gladiators. I love College football but not when they protect rapists and child abusers. Until alumni and big donors call these schools out for this type of thing it will continue.

I used to tell my female students to avoid places where athletes hungout for their own safety. Not all of tem but a lot of them feel entitled to whatever they want, they have been worshipped and protected theirwhole lives.

2. The case doesn't surprise me.

What does surprise me are the omissions and misrepresentations that Meggs made. He opened himself and a lot of people up to civil suits.

I have followed college sports for years. This is a sad pattern.
