An
interesting, “he said, she said,” dilemma has popped up in the world of college
football. A young women is accusing Florida State University Quarterback Jameis Winston of sexual assault.
Winston is up for Heisman, and has still had a great season even
with all this drama surrounding him. There is a press conference today,
December 5th to tell whether or not Winston is guilty.
Personally, I don’t think he is based on the evidence but I will
let you decide what you think.
The main reason I believe he is innocent is because the woman
accusing him of rape did not identify him until five weeks after the event, and
the case didn’t really take priority until Winston was having a great season
and leading his time. It didn’t become priority until he was in the spotlight.
Usually, in my opinion, this means someone just wants to throw him off his game.
I could be wrong though. Also, Did I mention this happened a year ago Saturday?
According to the following article,
There are many things that back up Winston in this case.
One being, the press conference today is being held by the State
Attorney, Willie Meggs to announce the results of his investigation. Typically,
the results are not just announced in a press conference, unless the arrest is
already made. Winston has not been arrested.
Another being, like I said earlier the women didn’t identify him
till later, and when identified, Winston did admit he had a sexual encounter
with her, however it was not rape. Later DNA testing did prove that his DNA was
found on evidence, but he had already told police prior to this finding about
his encounter with her.
Also, at the time she identified him, he was a redshirt player
for the Seminoles. Seems kind of like she was trying to hurt his career. When
she reported this she did not want to cooperate with investigators, this tells
me she wasn’t telling the truth.
Also, I don’t think Meggs would plan an arrest right before
Winston is scheduled to leave to play Saturday in the Atlantic Coast Conference
Championship against Duke. He would probably arrest him sooner than that, or
after the championship game.
Based on all of this, I don’t believe that Jameis Wilson is
guilty. He has done the right thing by telling his side of the story and then
keeping quiet and focusing on football and I give him props for that. I guess
we will wait and see what happens today.
