News: Joseph Randle's attorney issues statement addressing ex-girlfriend's allegations

[Nightman]

I think you are very confused. If he broke the window and it was connected with the domestic issue, the police would have checked out that allegation. If the window was broken 100% chance he is arrested and charged with Domestic violence. Hell if you get mad at your wife, grab a lamp and throw it down on the floor (Not at her or near her, just at your feet) you will be charged with domestic violence.

AS far as her abortion thing....her credibility is so low with me that it seems like she is just trying to paint him in a bad light in the media. This is her big shot and she is taking it.

I'm not confused at all. I only repeated what has been reported on the news. It was very clearly stated by the woman that Randle had a gun and broke the car window. She even said glass got in the babies hair. It may not be true, but that is exactly what she claimed happened.

 

[Nightman]

Restraining orders are supposed to be used to keep people away that have exhibited the propensity to confront the person being protected. He didn't go to her house or work to confront her. She came to were he was located.

Misuse of restraining orders is claimed to be widespread. In a 1993 newsletter, Elaine Epstein, then-president of the Massachusetts Bar Association, has remarked, “Everyone knows that restraining orders and orders to vacate are granted to virtually all who apply…In many cases, allegations of abuse are now used for tactical advantage [in divorce and child custody],” and a 1995 study of Massachusetts restraining orders found that under 50% are justified by even allegations of physical violence with some restraining orders being granted on the basis of vague, undefined fears.

He supposedly followed her out to the parking lot after she sent her friend and child out to the car. If he waved a gun, smashed the window and threatened her that would be more than enough to grant a temporary order. There is supposedly a full hearing set for Feb 19th to see if it still has merit or should be revoked.

I don't know why people are having such a hard time even entertaining the idea that Randle may have done these things after the extraordinary lack of character and intelligence he showed in the shoplifting case. i don't know if he is guilty, but it would surprise me more if he was completely innocent.

I try not to judge people's character until I have all the information. I don't know Mr. Randle personally nor do I know the alleged victim. I don't have all the facts. It seems premature and ignorant to be making accusations and calling people lowlifes etc.

I've never said that he didn't do anything. Just that the general public has no idea about what is or isn't factually correct. The legal system will take care of it. Until then, I'm going with Innocent until proven Guilty, which is how it is intended to be in our country.

The fact that somebody did something stupid in the past is not proof that they are guilty when accused of something in the present.

A lot of people around here would be on a lynch mob is this were a few decades ago or would be lighting the fire to burn the witches if it were a few hundred years ago. Luckily there were some other people that stepped up and said that's enough and put and end to those behaviors.

I agree. People make Randle out to be a menace to society, but really, besides the underwear thing, which was incredibly stupid, he has never got in trouble before. I had class with him at OSU and he was always in class, sitting in the front and being respectful unlike other athletes. From talking to him a handful of times and from everything I've heard about him, he seems like he's a good guy and I'd be really surprised if this were true, but it very well might be, I'd like to wait for more information.

There were some reports that she requested it and it was not granted.

How does that restraining order read? "Joe Randle must stay out of his own Hotel Room when is ex-girlfriend is going to come over to his Hotel room. "

Does she at least call to tell him she's coming to his room or is he required to be psychic?

I'm not sure if the protective order was granted or not. I do see your point about how the order would not help her situation when it was her coming into his space.

 

[brymatt94]

In my view, the severity of the situation doesn't make too much of a difference. Even being in another mishap at all tells me its not worth it to keep him around when there is a loaded RB class in this years draft. Randle isn't better than the majority of running backs in this draft. Even if Demarco is re-signed, I still think you can find a better back-up and more trustworthy replacement than Randle.

Once again there is more mess to this kid. But his fan club will come to his defense.

 

[jobberone]

Please, be civil and avoid even the appearance of a personal attack.

No. Reasonable people want to see how this plays out before condemning him. If you cut every player who has ever got in some degree of trouble, Dez, Rolando McClain, Josh Brent, Anthony Spencer, Orlando Scandrick and several others would be playing for other teams now. As of now, the one charge that he was arrested for has been dropped, but some people want to run him up a tree for reasons that are unknown. Why would you even cut him now anyway? Is getting in trouble (and then having charges dropped) in the offseason really going to affect this team? How many games will be lost because Randle has a familial dispute? Tank the season if we don't cut him now, right?

Please tell me this guy is not the replacement for Murray.

How many times is he going to be arrested already......jeez

RKG indeed

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm just relaying things she said.

After reading this thread, that appears to be a large part of the problem.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I don't think Murray was drafted or ever intended to be Murray's replacement.

He has only been arrested and convicted/plead guilty one time.

He does appear to be a RKG using the defination JG uses.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

She wants a restraining order but she was at his hotel room...

Rather a specious argument. She wants a restraining order because of what she alleges happened at his hotel room. You can doubt the allegations but to suggest there's an incoherence in her position is simply incorrect.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Don't like this guy. But this incident won't be enough to cut him. None of these charges will stick.

 

[big dog cowboy]

But this incident won't be enough to cut him. None of these charges will stick.

Unless some vet falls into our laps late August he probably won't be cut.

 

[jobberone]

Again, we don't know much about what actually happened and IMO probably won't. This will fade away. The fact he wasn't arrested says a great deal.

This kid has the talent to play NFL football. I'd like to see him play this year. What role I don't know nor how many snaps. I don't know who else will be at RB. He can get skinny, run between the tackles some, get outside, has some missem' and can take it to the house.

 

[Wood]

Unless the court can prove domestic abuse by Randle he isn't going anywhere. Even if Randle stays on team Dallas needs two more running backs to replace Murray and Dunbar. Judging by Willams contract maybe he replaces Dunbar. I think releasing Randle would put Dallas in perilous situation in a critical year.

She has a temporary restraining order pending a hearing on the 19th. The disposition after that should tell us something.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

She applied for the order the NEXT DAY, after he threatened her

When she went to the hotel the night before they were still on speaking terms. This is about future encounters.

I love how you continue to speak with certainty that he is guilty. The cops were there after the supposed 'threat' took place. You still hanging your hat on her not saying anything because she was afraid?
