No doubt. There are many different levels of severity. And it's possible, though seemingly unlikely, that the police report paints a vastly different picture than what actually happened. Which is why we should have waited until the legal situation played out before admitting him. If he chose instead to enroll somewhere else rather than waiting on Bama, so be it. Pretty telling to me that Cecil Hurt would retweet the following:
@SethEmerson: Not really understanding what Alabama's doing here, given the national climate, and the fact Taylor's case is still pending.

It was in the police report. I didn't see pictures, but that is how the officer described the injuries on her body.

Gotcha. I didn't think a picture would be out there.

I'm not happy about it, but what the hell can I do? I try to not worry about things that are out of my control.

Yeah, I can't imagine actually being angry about this. It is what it is.

This exact thing happened to me. In my case, she even pulled a large kitchen knife on me. She had "scratches and bruises" from where she hurt herself that I was supposed to have inflicted. The system is stacked against guys in these cases. Luckily for me, the girl who attacked me had a prior record that had been expunged and when my lawyer requested those records be allowed to be entered as character evidence she dropped the charges. It also helped that her mother witnessed the event and refused to testify for either of us (which looked good for me) but luckily I didn't have to find out if that would have had an effect.

Truly, guys have no power in these situations. For some reason the woman's word carries more weight in court than the man's does.

I'm not saying this guy did or didn't do this but it is hard for me to trust just the word of a female in these situations.

I'm not defending JT. I'm simply telling you that a mob rule mindset is a damaging as the crime itself. A nation of laws must follow those laws or succumb to the lawless anarchy of the mob.
