this is inaccurate. it is exhausting to try to keep up with posts on all boards about this topic, especially when they are generally wrong. i am too tired tonight to rebut the relevant distortions in this thread. perhaps tomorrow i will awaken refreshed and ready to re-enter battle.
for instance, in this post alone, #1 is a gross misrepresentation. the DA blasted the independent law firms investigation, but he did not in accuse the university of any wrongdoing. there is none, zero evidence that SU treats allegations against its athletes inappropriately.
Hilariously wrong. His literal words were that the 2005 investigation by Syracuse University (did they not hire a law firm they work closely with?) "was inadequate." It consisted of 3 or 4 phone calls, that's it. It was Penn state bad. The level of disinterest in the accusations was mind-blowing.
#2 makes no sense. all the DA said is that roach claimed to have made multiple phone calls to the SPD that went unanswered, however there was no record of a call from roach, and furthermore, roach had chances to talk to cops in person about poor response to phone calls and did not take them. this is what the DA said, it's not what i am saying. to me this chick is a complete non-factor, she did not witness anything, and has nothing to add of importance.
Your facts are totally wrong. You are totally confused. You say I don't know the case and then you come up with totally wrong facts? Roach did not make multiple unanswered phone calls to the SPD. She made 2 unreturned calls to the DA. Her calls to the SPD were answered and she had conversations with detective Fox weeks before Davis called and spoke to Fox. You are totally wrong. The significance of her call is that she had alerted the police to a possible accusation of Fine's molestation weeks before Davis made the call. In Davis's conversation with Fox, he said the name Fine was never mentioned but Fox told Davis that he knew Davis was referring to. The question is, once Fox originally heard from Roach about the accusation of a Cuse assistant coach (whne his own Chief was a Cuse bball player) molesting a child, did he talk to anyone about it in the period between Roach's and Davis's calls, and if he had, how was his treatment of Davis's call adequate?
#3 tomaselli originally state that he took a team bus from syracuse to the pittsburgh game. as noted, the team did not actually travel directly from syracuse to pittsburgh for the game, they flew in on the heels of a trip to tennessee. part of the "exculpatory" evidence that you have chosen to leave out was the high school attendance records that were also submitted from the DA to the fine defense team. let us keep it straight, the exculpatory evidence that was submitted from the DA to the fine team has not been released, however the nature of the definition of exculpatory indicates that the information is helpful to the defense.
Tomaselli did not say he took the team bus to Pitt. He took a team bus from the hotel to the game. Even Rlbees has corrected you and your deniers multiple time on this point. FYI, anyone who has read the Cuse posts on this board knows that on ethe first day I questioned Tomaselli because of an interview I saw of him in Maine in which he got the timeline of his father's molestation flipped a few times. I'm putting no credence in that. I wrote about the DA because he is so incurious about the case, as are SU itself and the SPD, as to get a major detail of the case incorrectly. Tomaselli has always claimed that he took a support staff bus to Pitsburgh, so the fact that the DA is providing evidence of a team flight from Tennessee shows how disinterested he is in getting to the bottom of this. It's embarassing when the DA doesn't even know the basic accusations.
last i want to clarify the relevance of the DA declaring the accuser "credible". let us keep in mind that the point the DA was making was that he had 3 things to work with. 1 and 2 are the accusers bobby davis and his relative Lang, and the audio tape. all the DA said was that if he had had these 3 points of information within the statute of limitations, he would have pressed charges for 3rd degree sexual assault. he also went on to say that he had no idea if the accusers would have withstood cross-examination, or if fine would have been found guilty. no one had the tape, except espn and maybe the post-standard. the DA also said the davis didn't even have the tape when Su investigated in 2005. it's crazy.
