Zeke's accuser admitted to talk of leveraging sex videos of RB for money

[Stash]

No. If you're planning on going to court, the best thing to do is to be quiet until you're under oath in a court of law when it all counts and your attorneys can help control the narrative.

Spoken like an attorney.

What I do not get is one of the investigator said they looked at the photos from Thompson phone that she took and medical experts looked at these photos to determine abuse. Now these photos are her photos, she never went to a hospital or doctor where they normally will take photos of injuries in cases of Domestic Abuse. So we are to take her photos as the truth and medical experts can make a determination without actually examining the victim?

They basically took her word and pictures as truth and proof of DV from the hands of Elliot. Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing that corroborates her "story".

I'm interested in your honest opinion.

If and when the league loses the Thompson case, do you honestly think that they would then try to use the parade incident as some last ditch attempt to give him something?

It won't be zero games, if that's what you're asking. The NFL beat Brady last year because the courts decided the CBA gives Goodell to do whatever he wants. There is no burden of proof. He can do it by feel, by his gut. The players agreed to this.

In the next CBA, I have no doubt this will be gone. The owners don't like it any more than the players do.

I'm asking if you think they would pursue the incident separately if the Thompson case fails?

 

[erod]

I just don't understand why the league is subjecting itself to all of this on purpose. It's completely unnecessary.

It's mind-boggling.

If Zeke will shut down the off-field nonsense, (and his dad's mouth), he's winning the court of public opinion here. We've all known some crazy, stalking chicks like this, so there's a relatable element to this. People don't trust her, and this new evidence is burying her.

 

[erod]

No, they don't have to. It's included. If somehow they dropped the Thompson case, he could still receive a game for the totality of everything, including the parade incident.

 

[Stash]

Ok, I'll agree to disagree.

I see this as an all or nothing decision. If and when they lose the DV case, he gets nothing, not some vindictive attempt after the fact.

 

[Bleu Star]

This 6 game bs.... Yes. Zeke is learning a lesson but...

Goodell needs to step down.

LOL, wow.

I'd be more inclined to believe that she bruised herself intentionally than to think she's suddenly a horror movie makeup artist.

Of course but the point being there was never a professional who saw the bruises first hand and can attest that they are real. With this girl's character, you cannot rule out anything. Everything should be verified and proved. Its like evidence and chain of custody. Pictures on a cell phone have no chain of custody so should not be relied upon for anything unless some authority can attest that they saw the bruises first hand and vouch for their authenticity.

If not for the daily adventures of Zeke's behavior, it probably would have been dismissed.

But nobody trusts Zeke right now.

So if nobody trusts either side in a dispute, it is usually just dropped. I wonder if this ever got to court, would those photos even be allowed? There is no one who can vouch that they are real and their chain of custody lies solely on the accuser's phone. No way a judge could allow them as evidence.

That is true but I have to wonder if a player could sue the NFL on ground of defamation of character.

You are not just suspending me as a player and causing me to lose money on my contract you are defaming me as a person and causing harm in my ability to make money outside of the game (aka endorsements)

That's what the professionals did. They dropped it.

But somehow, the NFL thinks they "know better". Must be based on their heretofore impeccable track record?

...this is all getting interesting...very interesting!...

 

[ohiocowboysfan25]

So I'm wondering how legit the questioning the nfl did was because its not like anything happens to thompson or the witnesses if they lie. I guess it's hard to believe that Goodell would get more credible info then the police did.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Why was Zeke hanging out with skanks? He brought this on himself.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Again though, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.That's the point that so many people are missing. Is she the scum of the earth? It appears that she is. But, that doesn't mean that he's incapable of harming her, and this isn't about her, this is about him.

When it's 50/50 and the only evidence you have is the first 50 is constanly talking about money and lying and tricking detectives and being opportunistic and obsessed with the other50 then your only evidence is that the latter 50 is not guilty isn't it?

Apparently, that wasn't enough for the NFL to not suspend him though. So yeah, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter.

It's true that nothing would excuse Zeke in hurting her. But we don't know for certain he did.

Her credibility is shot
-we know w/out question she is a liar
-we know she had an agenda to use Zeke for money
-we knows she was willing--eager even--to destroy him

Zeke has his issues. This woman has hers. And the league certainly has some darkness surrounding it. One big bowl of pepto bismol.

 

[Ranched]

No offense, but this is old news. TMZ made the text messages from his ex public b4 Zeke was even suspended. One text stated her telling a friend she lied to the cops to get even with Zeke. Problem was, dummy Goodell AGAIN, is late getting the truth.

No worries fans. Zeke won't be going down, but his ex will.
