Report: Jealousy led to incident at Merriman's house
Posted by Mike Florio on September 9, 2009 10:00 PM ET
Finally, facts are emerging regarding the incident that resulted in allegations that Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman battered and falsely imprisoned Tila Tequila Nguyen.
And we kind of wish they hadn't.
According to Juliette Vara of 10News.com in San Diego, Nguyen wasn't happy that Merriman was paying too much attention to other women at his home.
Per the report, Merriman went to his bedroom with two women. Nguyen then entered the room, and Merriman asked her to join them. She reacted angrily, threatening to have sex with a member of Merriman's entourage.
Instead, she took off all her clothes and tried to leave the house. Merriman then prevented her from leaving.
Citing unnamed sources, Vara also reports that Nguyen "faked" a neck injury, and that paramedics who arrived at the scene determined that she was fine.
It appears that this report is based on information from one or more of the other persons who were at Merriman's house on the evening in question. And given that one or more of the other persons who were at Merriman's house on the evening in question likely were drinking alcohol too, we're not sure how reliable anyone's recollection as to the events really is.
And that actually helps Merriman. Our guess is that the facts of this case will be littered with inconsistencies and discrepancies, making it a prime situation for a finding of reasonable doubt.

Both of them some nasty ***** as if we didn't know already..

Latest Merriman story apparently struck a nerve with his accuser
Posted by Mike Florio on September 10, 2009 6:47 AM ET
This whole Shawne Merriman situation continues to get stranger.
Wednesday night's report that the woman accusing him of battery and false imprisonment became hysterical due to jealousy apparently has caused her to react in hysterical fashion.
And so Tila Tequila Nguyen has taken to Twitter, with numerous inflammatory and profane entires, with lots of venom directed at Merriman and the team for which he plays, the Chargers. (One of her goals was to push the phrase "ChargersSuck" into the "trending topics" list at Twitter, which tracks words and names appearing most frequently on the various user pages.)
She'll probably delete many of the tweets, so it makes sense to check them out sooner rather than later.
Here's a brief sampling.
"I mean....first he says Im drunk...now he says Im jealous cuz he was having threesomes, I mean...get it together with those stories!"
"IF he really was innocent, he wouldn't sweat it. He would just be like...ahh **** that ***** is lying anyway...lets focus on football.."
"Where in the law does it say 'IF UR FRIEND IS DRUNK....MAKE SURE TO BEAT HER AND CHOKE HER'.....NO!"
"Where else in the law does it say '***** WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS.....SO CHOKE HER AND BEAT HER!' umm...NO!"
"Because my story....is the truth....and the only person I need to tell that to is the Judge. Not the media...only a guilty person does that."
Frankly, she's incorrect. As we've said many times over the past few months, high-profile cases are tried in two courtrooms -- the real one and the courtroom of public opinion. Nguyen might never get a chance to tell her story to a judge, if the San Diego County District Attorney opts not to press charges. So she needs to provide to the media something more than a statement from a lawyer that Merriman's defense will be discredited.
Clearly, she wants to tell her story, but she is deferring to legal advice that she shouldn't talk about the situation. The problem is that her desire to talk (which might come from a sad obsession with attention) has prompted her to launch into Twitter tirades that make her look erratic and unpredictable and not credible.
The reality is that the D.A. surely has been monitoring Nguyen's Twitter page and making conclusions about whether she'll be an effective witness at trial.
Based on the stream of tweets that continue to be posted even as of this posting (does she sleep?), no prosecutor in his or her right mind would rely on her testimony to satisfy the high bar of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Deputies responded to a disturbance call at Merriman’s home near Sage Crest and Oak Knoll drives about 3:45 a.m. Nguyen told deputies she had been choked and physically restrained by Merriman when she tried to leave. She requested an [COLOR=#0090DA ! important][FONT="][COLOR=#0090DA ! important][FONT="]ambulance[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] and was treated at Poway’s Pomerado Hospital.
Nguyen wasn’t seriously hurt, Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said.
“She was able to talk,” Caldwell said. “She was able to walk. She was mobile. She did not have any serious injuries that our deputies saw.” …
… Merriman and Nguyen had been at the Stingaree, a Gaslamp Quarter club, Saturday night. The club issued a statement, saying the couple had joined friends there for a birthday celebration. They stayed until closing in the early hours yesterday morning.
“They seemed in good spirits throughout the evening and were enjoying themselves,” the Stingaree statement said. “There was no outward indication of any problem between the two of them.”
Deputies said when they arrived at Merriman’s house that Nguyen acknowledged she had been drinking and appeared intoxicated, Caldwell said.

So basically this is turning out to be a situation where the two dirty people got into it over dirty crap. Sounds like there was a whole lot of yuck going on at that house that night.
Gross.

Well I can't say too much about that. While I think they're gross, and their party lives and such are disgusting to me personally, I am one of those who wouldn't be upset if he was on this team. I can admit that.
