Not true. The ***** on here had him convicted and thrown off the team as soon as they heard the sloppy "report" of the trumped up incident.

Exactly right. Some self-righteous weakašś bītćhes had him as good as kicked off the team for drinking half a Dixie cup of diluted cider. Probably the same guys coming up wth a million reasons recruits shouldn't attend Miami because the college experience is much better elsewhere.

Same mindset for both groups.

these prosecutors are terrible, especially in lower divisions like this. most of them are incompetent and that is why they work there because they could not get a job elsewhere. they start their careers prosecuting people who steal milk crates (true story) and work up the system to more serious crimes, so they get rotated out every few months and have a case load of about 1000.

i wouldnt say they are all incompetent and terrible. they are rookies and they start them out in that division.

true, that was a highly caffeinated response. not all, but many are incompetent by their very nature and/or by their inexperience!

Yeah, no.

I can't stand the Miami-Dade SAO, but not because they are incompetent. That's far from the truth, actually. That office has mostly good lawyers, who work there because they want to prosecute and be trial lawyers, not because they couldn't get a job elsewhere. The hiring process is pretty rigorous and those types of people don't make it past the first round. They hire nationally, from some very good law schools (same with the Miami-Dade Public Defender).

The issue here isn't an issue of incompetence.

That may be true.
But someone posted a link to her resume and her greatest achievement was assistant Manager of Sedano's bakery in Hialeah,
or something along those lines.

you must mean some of the more experienced lawyers, but the entry level ones that are handling crappy cases tend to be incompetent. if they stick around long enough and are intelligent and acquire skills, that's another story

Younger =/= incompetent. This is a high profile case so senior attorneys are making the calls behind the scenes. Most of the time, that results in the office trying to make a point and the ASA losing the little discretion he/she usually has.

Call it what you will, but they're embarrassing themselves by: a. Prosecuting a **** case like this; and b. Getting mocked for being unprepared to prosecute this **** case.

I don't know if these particular people are incompetent, but this prosecution is a waste of time, resources and money, and they're being clowned by the court and the press for bumbling.

I don't disagree with any particular point. I was just trying to give a little insight to the process. It is a Miami SAO problem, not necessarily a particular ASA problem.

Great news! Hopefully, he just gets that SEC slap on the wrist. An offense set with Coley, Walton, Njoku, and Herndon/Berrios, Bruce would be pretty nasty.

As @AndySlater reported, all charges dropped against UM's Walton.Been immersed in team activities for weeks;UM hasn't commented about status
 
I would say it's a seminole that tried to **** his life up by alleging a DUI, but everyone knows FSU grads can't think that deeply.

Regardless, great news. a returning, veteran Yearby/Walton duo in the backfield helps me sleep better at night
