The minute @WoodysGirl explained her take on what happened in this one, I was convinced she was right.

This does nothing to confirm that, either way, but I still think she probably nailed it.

Breaking news on the local news also. Those jumping to conclusions early should admit they were wrong. Keeping a close eye on this first hand since I live in Wichita it looked like this was the likely outcome all along.

Being arrested automatically raises suspicions. Initially believing the story could be true is a lot different than continuing to ignore the evidence or lack thereof like in the Hardy or McClain arson case.

Good for Randle that he did nothing wrong and hopefully he can help this team out at RB this year.

If it is due to circumstance with value in the draft, fine. If this has any bearing on it, that is simple laziness and poor evaluation of this roster.

Its due to me recognizing Randle has some talent on him. The team couldve let him walk but they wanted to let it play out. Gurley will not get passed Miami, and i think Randle could do what Gordon can in NFL. Randle has shown he can break it, run between the tackles and pass block. Has Gordon? Just because these rookies are stars in college doesnt mean thatll happen in the NFL. Randle is a proven commodity.

Randle is not that talented that you can overlook the fact he appears to have a Hambrick brain in his head.

I don't think Dallas was ever going to draft one in the first anyway. 2 or 3rd is where they may address it. Maybe even 4th.

If Dallas wouldnt pick Gurley or Gordon why pick one? None of the remaining are better than Randle. Dont sleep on McFadden. The guy is a talent that played for a really bad team.

No charges? I think that means the NFL will give him at least 4 games.

If Randle were a draft prospect right now he would not even be on my board.

If Jerry buys him Amazon Prime, no more problems with "undocumented purchases."

Dude's probably stealing Mara's drawers right now just to rub it in their faces.

Mere accusations are sufficient for Goodell to suspend.

He does seem to operate under the "where there's a wisp of smoke, there must be a blazing fire" philosophy.

According to a news release from the District Attorney’s office, “After reviewing the extensive investigation conducted by the Wichita Police Department, including witness interviews and analyzing available evidence, we concluded there is a lack of evidence sufficient to support felony charges against Mr. Randle.”

The release said there was not enough available evidence to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is required in a criminal case.
On one hand, a person was threatened with felony charges, investigated, and charges were eventually dropped. On the other hand, another person was investigated, indicted on misdemeanor charges, a "bench trial" ensued, the presiding judge ruled based on real, yet singular evidence (photographs) and various unsubstantiated allegations--the summation of which wasn't convincing enough to prosecute upon appeal.

The American legal system. Fascinating.
