STATEMENT BY FLORIDABARPRESIDENTGREGORY W. COLEMAN

FORIMMEDIATERELEASE
December 23, 2014
CONTACT: Francine Walker,
The Florida Bar
TELEPHONE: (850) 561-5666


"Comments in a recent AP news article attributed to Baine Kerr, a Colorado attorney who represents the young woman accusing Florida State University quarterback Jameis Winston, are too outrageous for me to ignore.

"Major Harding, a former chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court who presided over the FSU code of conduct hearing, is one of the most highly respected lawyers in Florida and in the United States. To say that he is anything but thoroughly unbiased and of the highest integrity is unacceptable.

"I have known Harding for nearly 20 years. His reputation and integrity are beyond question and thousands of lawyers would agree. FSU President John Thrasher’s recognition of Harding for conducting a thorough hearing was on target. Kerr’s comments were completely off-base and irresponsible.

"It is unfortunate that Kerr chose to attack someone like former Supreme Court Justice Harding. I would caution Kerr to follow his oath as an attorney to be professional and to maintain the respect due to all who are unquestionably dedicated to fairness and impartiality."

Her story changed again! :mindblown:
We don't know everything the accuser testified to this time, but one obvious change was detailed in Harding's letter. It related to the cab ride back to Winston's apartment.

After originally telling law enforcement that she didn't know how she ended up in the cab with Winston and teammates Chris Casher and Ronald Darby - offering suggestions that she was either hit on the head or drugged (although both theories were later proven to be unfounded) - Harding revealed that the accuser now says she went with them because, "she was intimidated and/or scared of the consequences of not cooperating and getting in the cab."

Good article

New York Times at it again


What did Winston have to say about all that? In a statement he read during the hearing, he called her a liar. Then, nothing. He declined to answer questions, as has been the case again and again for the last two years, until Harding cornered him.

Harding asked Winston “in what manner, verbally or physically,” did the woman give her consent to sex.

Winston said his accuser provided consent not with words, but rather by “moaning.”

His answer was ridiculous and infuriating, and just shows how Florida State rolls these days. Or, should I say, how Florida State football steamrolls these days.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Just head straight into the stands for the team’s next game.

Next week, the Seminoles will play in college football’s first playoff, meeting Oregon at the Rose Bowl in a semifinal that Florida State hopes will be nothing but a speed bump on the road to a second straight national championship. Fans at the game might want to bring a towel — not to swing over their heads as they cheer, but to use after the game.

To use after showering.

Anyone who has supported the program for the past couple of years should feel dirty by now.

The team stars Winston, who was the beneficiary of a botched investigation of the rape by the Tallahassee Police Department. Two more Seminoles standouts, defensive end Chris Casher and defensive back Ronald Darby, refused, along with Winston, to answer questions about the rape case in Winston’s conduct hearing. Some would call their silence obstructing justice. In Tallahassee, though, it’s probably called teamwork.
