re: Smael Mondon charges DROPPED

If McCullough just calls the cops it’s a B&E and drunk in public for the intruder. It really is that simple

1. McCollough did not call the cops
2. McCollough felony assaulted him.
3. He plead guilty to felony assault and paid the guy $22,000
4. It really is that simple.

ETA
Oh, I almost forgot:

5. The law said 3-15 years for Felony Assault.
6. Tennessee said two games.

If the victim of a B&E doesn’t want to press the issue it’s dropped.

If its a legit offense, they can be arrested. The civilian doesn't have power over cops decisions. That idea is pure nonsense.

Here are some more details:

A man told officers that he had been drinking with friends in an apartment and left to retrieve items from his car. He accidentally returned to an apartment in the wrong building, knocked on the door and no one answered.

The man told police that he opened an unlocked door, realized he was in the wrong apartment and apologized to the residents. After leaving the apartment, a man followed him and became aggressive, according to the victim.

"The victim "apologized again and told the male, 'He didn't have to be a [expletive] about it.'

"He turned around at the top of the stairs approximately 30 feet from the door and was punched in the face. He fell backwards down the stairs and lost consciousness.

Officers attempted to contact the residents of the apartment, but no one answered the door. Officers found the woman who had been helping the victim in a car in the parking lot, and she identified herself as McCollough's girlfriend.

"McCollough, 21, didn't answer officers' questions."


No wonder only one guy got arrested. Guy makes an honest mistake, crazy vol player attacks him well outside of his apartment, and then refuses to be respectful to the cop.

The concept of prosecutorial discretion is well established in America's criminal justice system. In any criminal investigation, a prosecutor chooses which charge or charges to file or seek from a grand jury. A prosecutor also has the discretion to refrain from filing any charges at all.
Prosecutorial Discretion: To Charge or Not to Charge

Nope, according to sm1, regular ol Joeman on the block determines who gets charged for crimes. He does it for free too!

Regardless of the offense, if the other side doesn’t testify it’s hard to have a case.

1. You skipped the whole COP arrest part of the sequence.
2. You skipped the whole DA charge part of the sequence.
3 Only after that would you get to the trial testify part.

None happened. You went 0/3 on this one.

Tennessee fans attack UGA for speeding tickets.

UGA responds by mentioning felony assault from UT players. UT fans say it's nothing.

The world we live in.

Because it was nothing. It was a mistake we’re a player hit a guy 1 time instead of calling the police.

It’s not like UTs AD has killed 2, wrecked multiple cars, had multiple DUIs, been caught street racing multiple times. And when UT had an issue, they addressed it so it doesn’t become almost 30 incidents including multiple deaths, multiple DUIs etc.

Somehow y’all don’t want to address that. Somehow y’all don’t want to address the AD having to threaten a newspaper because it was exposing the issues at UGAs AD. But a UT player hitting a drunk intruder gets your full attention.

What a waste of humanity.

Pretty sure it was felony assault, wasn't it? I know that is nothing at the University of Tennessee, but it means something everywhere else.

At UTk they have other more serious things to handle like sexual assault, rape and federal investigations.

It not “my story”. “My story “ implies I’m treating Drunk street racing like it’s a speeding incident.

Reality is McCullough made poor judgment in hitting a belligerent drunk that broke into his apartment. Under the law he should have not stepped out of his apartment. A mistake that cost him both financially and through punitive measures by the UT AD. Something that just doesn’t seem to be a concept at UGA. If this had happened at UGA he would have not missed a game and the UGA fixer would have made this go away.
