East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he expects that the charges against LSU quarterback Anthony Jennings, defensive tackle Maquedius Bain, and defensive back Dwayne Thomas could be dropped soon.
Moore also stated that the victim has asked for the case to be dismissed. Per The Advocate:
LSU coach Les Miles talking briefly about how the legal process is playing it's-self during his yearly Baton Rouge Rotary Club speech while Moore was in the room.

Moore, speaking to reporters at the Baton Rouge Rotary Club meeting, said that if Jennings’ case didn’t involve athletes, it would likely have been dismissed already.
“If this was a regular case, take football out of it, if it just involved a regular LSU student, you wouldn’t have known it happened. It would routinely be dismissed,” he said. “I’m taking my time to get it right.”
