This is how it used to be but not anymore. Now factors like who the judge and DA are and their beliefs come into play. For example if the DA is a huge Dallas fan and thinks Dak is our best chance to win then no charges. But if the DA is a fan of a different team or they just want Dak sidelined then they’ll charge him with whatever they want, they don’t need evidence of anything anymore.
She cannot sue him because the statute of limitations on filing a civil suit has expired. That's why she sent the "give me $100 million or I'm going public and pressing charges" letter (she can still file criminal charges until 2027). Obviously the $100 million was her opening demand with the notion that she would negotiate down.
She doesn't have crap in terms of evidence, or else she would have played her cards much sooner.
The letter sure does come off as an attempt at extortion to me. The reason why is because she can't sue him. So the lawyer can't say he was just trying to have an out of court settlement. This was pure "give us money or we are going public with this accusation."
It is a high profile case. The police know they have to dot all the i's and cross all the t's but I cannot imagine for the life of me there is any legit evidence of assault 7 years later.
The burden of proof (in a criminal trial) rests with the prosecution. You do not go into court assuming the accused is guilty nor do we presume the alleged victim is telling the truth.
You make excellent points. This will probably go away. It’s scary how having an encounter can cost you your career just like that. I think she saw what happened with Watson and decided to make a call to a ambulance chasing attorney.
Except, as her own (lawyer's) letter indicates, she was perfectly happy and willing to keep silent. In exchange for a cool one hundred mill.
Interesting you mention Ben, Tyson and Kobe. All 3 of the women in those situations got paid.
And the other 2 shoulda went to jail too
I agree. Of course, in each of those cases, criminal charges were filed immediately. They didn't wait 7 years only to demand $100 million.
Some of you DFW locals who want Trey Lance to start need to get on that jury.
It took my wife 10 years to come out about hers

Did she send her assailant a demand letter for $100 million in exchange for remaining silent? Because that letter sure makes it seem as though this is a money grab and not some sort of principled stand the accuser is making.
Lol, doubt it. Dak has proven he doesn’t need help with sucking in the playoffs. Unless he’s been accused of rape 5 times.
The letter was dated January 16. Even if it was transmitted electronically and he received it immediately, it was still 2 days after the GB game. Is there a chance he caught wind in advance of it coming? Who knows....
