Any of those who followed understand how much of a circus and waste of taxpayer resources this was. I think we can put to bed the ole "FSU players get preferential treatment from Willie Meggs" line. Nothing wrong with putting a guy on trial with inconsistent witness and accuser testimonies if there's other evidence such as video, but in this case anyone with half a brain knew what the outcome was going to be.
Some highlights for those interested:
She added that Dalvin's friends held him back but he was still trying to get at her. Says she's "not sure" if she was hit again after the first punch.
10:35 - *She now says she was hit in the back of the head at some point* but didn't see who hit her. After that she called the police and all the guys ran away.*
She said that she was "in rage" and felt disrespected when she called 911. She has listened to the 911 call and you can tell she had been drinking "those margaritas".
She admits she couldn't identify Dalvin from lineup. She told the officer "I'm not up for it right now"
11:35 - She says she was able to recognize because she does makeup and she pays a lot of attention to bone structure and features.
McCall asks if she had two other.people help her make identification ... Her friend and her father, who wasn't there. She agrees.
11:50 - Defense bringing up the fact that she went to the Mint nightclub on Thursday ... Three days after incident. Even though she was so traumatized and still had a swollen lip
11:55 - And then after seeing him smirk at her, she called police next day and said she didn't want to press charges. She agrees.
1:55 -- McCall asking [friend] about being drunk. He said do you agree that sometimes you don't remember things when you're drunk, she disagreed. ... He's now bringing up all the things she said she doesn't remember. Such as number of drinks.
1:57 -- She admits she was so drunk that night that she couldn't write a statement for police. But he asks how we're supposed to believe 60 days later. ... He also points out she was behind Dalvin Cook and talking with someone else when punch was thrown.
2:16 -- [Officer] Says the accuser was "visibly upset" and had a bloody lip and dirt on knee. He said they appeared to be intoxicated. Called the friend "very intoxicated" and the accuser "not as intoxicated." He took the photos they showed earlier.
2:30 -- Officer asked if her injuries were consistent with being punched by a 215-pound football player. "To me it did not look like she got hit in the face." Defense attorney stops questioning.
