As far as I know, although counsel has been retained there is no indication as to whether he has had any substantive discussion with the defendant.

He shows up and asks to speak to a lawyer before speaking to the police. Something happened between him and the lawyer that made him decide not only to not talk to the police but to leave town at high speed.

You can go ahead and think the switch happened without any discussion with the lawyer. I can go ahead and think otherwise.

So many people who have no idea what they are talking about yet are so certain they know.

First of all, he was never going to talk to the police. Thats why he asked for a lawyer. Otherwise he would have shown up at the station and said "I want to talk." The man has a long history with the criminal justice system, he knows better.

Second, you and everyone else have no idea why he ran. Perhaps it was something external -- something the police said, or something a family member said or something he heard. Or maybe it was something internal -- panic (very likely in my book), or walking into the station brought back bad memories. Who knows? The one thing I know with absolute certainty as a former public defender was that nothing of any importance happened with the lawyer, if he even spoke with him. The is what the lawyer would say: Do not speak to anyone about anything under any circumstances. I will get information from the prosecutor and you and I will meet and talk.

And none of this would have been a surprise because he's been in the system many times. He knows that at the initial meeting the lawyer says don't talk to anyone, you and I will speak later.

With a previous rape charge, I'm sure this entire situation has made him very, very nervous. He knew his past was getting ready to be all over the internet.

Oh, please. It's just you and one other person who have created over 70 pages.

Nobody gives a crap if you want to chat ad nauseam about this. Anybody is entitled to question why this topic is here in a college discussion.

Who cares? Let's just continue the discussion snd hope due us found. Don't read the thread if it's categorization bothers you do much. Get a life.

Seriously? 75 pages of speculation all day and night? Maybe it's YOU who should get a life.

Carry on with your discussion. Good if it feels that void in your life.

Yes, I posted all 75 pages of responses.

I just don't get why anyone would care where it is posted. It is an interesting and timely discussion about a horrible situation. Skip the thread if you don't want to read it on your precious college board.

If the moderator doesn't have a problem with this discussion on the college forum, that's all that matters.

However, I would suggest you refrain from condescending remarks to those of us who frequent this forum. It is our 'precious college board', and that is why we come here to discuss, seek and disseminate information, and debate about colleges.

This thread obviously started out as a college-related discussion. But, it has veered a bit off course and other threads -- also long -- have started in other forums. Therefore, I'll lock this thread so that forum discussion can return to it's college and university focus. Please join the "Off-Topic" discussion if you would like to continue posting about this subject.
