  1. Important to notebthese aren't definitely happening as of yet.
  2. Is this the guy you were talking about after the tournament?
  3. The charge is sexual battery. In Florida, that incorporates rape under sexual battery, but Oklahoma law appears to differentiate that.
  4. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/10889313-ncaa-rules-committee-proposes-massive-changes And there are a BUNCH of them. 3 point take downs, 3 nearfall points for a 3 count, no riding time point unless you get back points, changing the requirement of top wrestlers that they have to be working to turn/pin rather than just ride, removing the "no reaction time" rear standing TD....plus more!
  5. It all depends. She may be changing her story, or not actually remember a lot if there was alcohol involved (I have not read any of the specific factual allegations in this case, or if I did, I don't remember them). So what if she's telling the prosecutor [SOMEWHAT GRAPHIC LANGUAGE] "well we were drinking, and I sort of blacked out, but I do remember him being on top of me...I don't remember feeling him inside me, but when I woke up the next day I was definitely sore like after I have sex..." That scenario it seems VERY LIKELY that, if true, there was sexual contact, but will a jury believe it beyond a reasonable doubt? That's the question a prosecutor is asking. Criminal cases are fluid, and you very often will have alleged victims who are gung ho at the state, but then change their mind as you get into the actual trying of the case. It also doesn't have to be as big a change in charge as that, even. I will often negotiate my clients pleading to lesser felony charges and getting probation.
  6. Oh yeah. But defense attorneys ask for lesser charges all the time. "My guy is charged with crime A; you may have some difficulty proving crime A, but he's willing to plead to crime B, which is a lighter charge."
  7. It could be that, but it cold be multiple other things. Oh that's easy. Probation on a misdemeanor battery. I make that request all the time.
  8. It doesn't mean anything. Even that trial date is malleable, they get moved all the time. Now, for the record, I don't practice in Oklahoma, obviously, but for example here in Florida, trial dates move in cycles. We have Pre-Trial hearings that have an "assigned" Trial Term, so the court dockets show a case that is set for a April 19 pre-trial date and also set for trial on the next trial term in May. However, especially post-COVID shutdowns with a big backlog of cases, the odds of a case actually going to trial that quickly after the Pre-Trial date would be astronomically low UNLESS the Defendant insisted and demanded his right to a speedy trial. It's neutral, at least under Florida criminal practice. It's noteworthy, though, that the docket seems to show that the trial was set by the Ferrari's request, so it's possible he intends to fight this all the way out...or he could be playacting trying to get a good deal.
  9. Here we have a member of the DeSantis administration just threatening the company to "make nice" with DeSantis. You know, like in a functional democracy....no wait that's how they do it in Russia.
  10. I don't care. Neither do most normal Floridians. When I go to Lake Buena Vista, the streets are well-maintained and clean, so that's a plus. I know I'm definitely against my tax dollars being used so that a wannabe tinpot dictator can exact revenge on people and entities that criticize him. Or being used to move undocumented immigrants from one non-Florida locale to another non-Florida locale for a photo-op. Or many other wasteful things that do nothing to improve my life or the state.
  11. It is undeniable that Penn State has had, by far, the best recruiting in terms of NCAA success. Multiple classes with at least 3 or 4 top 10 p4p guys. But....that's not an insult? That's a huge component of the job, arguably the biggest.
  12. I'm sure glad my tax dollars are going to yet another DeSantis quagmire. He's stating here that he's literally going to change a law (or multiple laws) to go back and then invalidate the Disney agreement, implicitly admitting that what Disney did is perfectly legal. Meatball Ron, big "small government" guy.
  13. Unlikely. Looks like it's just a pre-trial/scheduling date. Unless he's taking a plea tomorrow, nothing of note is likely to happen.
  14. His attorney filed a Motion for Discovery. Standard practice, basically you're telling the prosecutor "hey, you have to turn over any evidence you have to me so I can prepare my defense." The other language appears to be related to disclosure of the actual document being barred because it references some kind of protected or sensitive information, typically something like social security numbers or witness/victim's addresses, etc. Nothing noteworthy, at least in what you've shared there.
  15. Lee takes....like everybody down. And now people can't dive to their backs.
  16. Really? You might not have agreed with his choice, but you don't understand the motivation?
  17. The wrist isn't necessary anymore. That's my point. He can just explode thru turns without having to hold anybody on their back, which I think is by far more tiring. It plays into his explosion and fast twitch muscles.
  18. Agree, it's much more explosion based. Plus Lee had always had a great lace. That said, presuming Lee gets to Gilman and presuming he gets on top of Gilman, I'm not sure if Gilman has ever gone over in a lace that i remember. He seems ready to let his shins break rather than go over.
  19. Freestyle is much more suited to his explosive style (and with him not having to worry much about control, just literally turning exposing their backs quickly...I think he'll be great.)
  20. I dunno. One of the greatest modern pro wrestlers is Kurt Angle, and his in-ring prowess was a huge factor. He had an incredible workrate. On FRL yesterday they said he's still going to do the WWE thing, so maybe my supposition on this was off (and as @Interviewed_at_Weehawken mentioned, he was there training yesterday.
  21. She's not running, she's retiring (thankfully). I would very much like for the people with power in this country to be under 70.
  22. Most case files are kept for a period of time. The evidence isn't REALLY at issue any longer since he's entered a plea, although a judge could consider the evidence in the case file for either mitigating or aggravating factors. Truthfully, given how busy most courts are, they pretty much just use police reports in practice.
