Based on the "visible marks to her" and the "damage that was observed" at the residence, Hart said there was sufficient evidence for the initial charges against Taylor


this dude should get arrested...ridiculous that this gets fixed so easily. Hopefully she at least got money and not just threatened into recanting her story

Should make the transfer to Auburn or Louisville a bit easier.

Shouldn't matter as that's pretty typical with domestic violence. We dismissed Paulk over an incident (players on the team and Lady Vol hoops players saw it happen) after an incident (Eric Berry's little brother was the guy who pulled Paulk away) but the girl even then refused to press charges because she was afraid it would ruin his career.

The only reason she gave a statement was because the other girls talked her into talking with police and someone had already called them. Even then she wouldn't press charges.

It wasn't a terrible beating or anything but just laying hands on her was enough to get him booted the next day and despite his girlfriend not pressing charges and pleading his case.

Paulk is off the team but he's still young enough to change and he has no past incidents but a guy like Taylor? We all know he never should've been given a chance to begin with and very likely the girl is feeling guilty because she doesn't want to 'take away his career.' Saban and Bama should see right through it and let it go. Guy is too much trouble.

Update on Al.com --- comments from investigator.

LINK I did not show the title in the link because it seems sensationalized given the context of the statements.

quote:

Taylor's 24-year-old accuser has been charged with filing a false police report, a Class A misdemeanor, but Hart said her recanting doesn't erase the evidence that led to Taylor's arrest Saturday, which included bruising around her neck and a hole punched in a closet door.

"[Officers] observed injuries to her and damage to the apartment where she said the incident occurred," Hart said. "Based on what they say and based on her original statement, there was probable case to make the arrest."


quote:

"With domestic violence issues, the victims will sometimes have second thoughts about what happened. There's always an emotional attachment, whether it's pure emotion or based on financial support or family support - there are several reasons why victims change their story after a domestic violence incident," Hart said. "It could be something like that, or, again, she could have fabricated the whole story and the charges against him are completely false. That's why we're still investigating this, to determine, if we can, exactly what happened."


quote:

He said the investigation will take as long as it needs to, then all the information gathered will be given to the district attorney. Hart said neither the police department nor the sheriff's office can drop the charges against Taylor, that decision will fall on area courts.
