"What “record of Husky crimes that were never prosecuted “?"--hhusky
**************************

Here is a list of interesting actions by uw athletes. Cannot remember if it was copied from a news article or an internet post, but you will notice the trend of a lack of convictions. Not all, but many, and even a case where there was a conviction (Pharms) they managed to delay proceedings until after the Rose Bowl. How convenient! I am sure that this trend is completely due to all of them being as pure and innocent as the driven snow, right?

BTW, let me just point out that the first one on the list, Michael Green is the MF'ing azzhole that killed a lovely young girl that had been my wife's student the year before, and we spent many, many days out with with other volunteers looking for her body. SO you got that to think about......

Dang, dude. You need to post more often.

Well, if I was to post a bunch like I did in times past you all would just get tired of me. Of course, that was back in the times of Pat Pearce, Smoking Tongue, Biggs, PatBaum, TrueCoug2, CougEd, and some other old timers. I know some are still around from those days, but many others have moved on. Sometimes life gets in the way of diversions like this.

The Prosecutors Office also has a budget. I’m surprised I’d have to explain why DAs don’t like to spend resources on crappy cases.
I’m curious what a good rape case is in your eyes? Because short of a sworn testimony by the rapist admitting guilt along with video/audio recording of the act (that includes the woman saying “no” and resisting strenuously, because people have consensual sex as you astutely pointed out and it could be reasonably doubted the act was rape if she wasn’t recorded screaming her head off and fighting), virtually every rape case that doesn’t offer those things is not worth the money to prosecute...too much reasonable doubt, you know. And after all, what’s a prosecutor’s primary obligation if not saving some dollars?

I noticed quite a few prosecutions in your list. Michael Kay Green was convicted of murder, though he didn't commit his crime in King County; he'd be a very poor example of a crime that was "never prosecuted" however. The SPD was the slow and cautious party with respect to Pharms. Maleng wouldn't have been the prosecutor for any crime Shelley committed in Eugene, Oregon. Pulu? Overton? Maleng died in 2007. What the Hell was your argument again?
