huskerguy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 What happens at these dates though. It’s literally every 4-6 weeks. We wait for it to come and when it does the night before something always leaks out about “we’ll wait another 4-6 weeks for a possible resolution” Quote Link to comment

They need time to prepare their documents, their statements, and review previous cases for legal basis. They have regular lives too, they take vacations like the rest of us. It fits in to the calendar when it fits in. It all takes time my dude. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's a legal procedure and making motions on evidence...etc. Quote Link to comment

I think such a scenario actually gives Frost the leeway to say, "Well we're still waiting for the legal status of things to get sorted out." In that scenario Maurice will be playing this fall, as long as the court dates & associated travel don't somehow spill into Saturdays (which I highly doubt would even be a thing). I actually feel more confident about him playing in the majority of games than I have at any point up till now. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I would be shocked at this point if he’s suspended for any games. He’s still practicing with the team and the coaches are not going to know anymore in September than we already knew months ago. Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 You don't keep a kid on the team like they have...just to kick him off. Quote Link to comment

The only consideration would be if he receives some sort of legal punishment making it impossible to stay on the team. From my perspective, it's innocent until proven guilty and he's accused of a non-violent crime. I'm not a big fan of punishing people before due process has played out, with some exceptions. 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I have hardly any experience in the legal world besides watching Suits... That being said when something like this keeps getting dragged out doesn't that mean it's good for the defendant? If the prosecutor were trying to make an example he's already lost the initial news coverage interest and they just extended it out for almost 6 more weeks and Washington doesn't even need to be present. It doesn't seem like this is taking high priority for them, but like I said I have no idea how this stuff works. Quote Link to comment

He will play, well at that, and we will hear rival fans cry about that and kids on our team smoking j's. Just like the good ol days 1 Quote Link to comment

Generally speaking, the longer this drags out, the better it is for the defendant. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is a really great summary. The only thing that would invalidate it would be if he somehow pleads guilty, but I don't think that's the case. In the scenario of a 'not guilty' pleading, how could Frost possibly even suspend him for game one if the proceedings are still ongoing? That would create a total cluster. Quote Link to comment
