Shawn Merriman Arrested

I understand your point, but there are two major differences.

1. In Ben's case, the complainant waited for a year to file a lawsuit
In Shawn's case, the complainant called the cops at the point of the incident.

2. No criminal charges were filed or pursued in Ben's case
Shawn was arrested by cops at the alleged scene.

does either of those rule out innocent until proven guilty, no, but they do leave different first impressions.

Just saw on ESPN that she had no evidence of being assaulted. Lets be serious Shawne Merriman is 270lbs. Tila Tequila is maybe 105 wet holding a brick. If she was choked by him you would see some evidence

Ever think that maybe Merriman is just a really big ninja Anyway I guess this ads credibility to the stopping her from driving drunk story.

Looks like everyone jumped the gun on this one. Well Merriman's decision-making in some areas (steroids, initially option out of surgery and risking grave injury) have been questionable, but I guess we shouldn't jump to conclusion. Well I hope he gets his name cleared up after this whole mess.

No doubt.

I'm a retired Deputy Sheriff in California so let me put some light on this situation. The San Diego County Sheriff's responded to his residence reguarding a possible battery and kidnapping. She stated to the Deputies that he chocked her and stopped her from leaving his residence. The Deputies saw no signs of phyiscal injuire to her , but she insisted and she made a citizens arrest from what i heard from a Department spokes person. Anyone can make a citzen arrests which forces a police officer to make an arrest. This puts the liablity on her if he is innocent because she made a citizen or private persons arrests. As a retired Deputy you have to advise people that when they make a citizens arrests they can be sued for false arrest. This case will not even get filed by the DA'S OFFICE due to lack of evidence but because he is a High Profile suspect it will get more attention.
He may get suspended by the league if anything and i doubt that if the case doesnt get filed. Any woman or man can call the police and file a criminal complaint that he or she assualted them.

No that's what you're saying.

I never in any sort of way compared Carruth to Merriman. Logically, I compared to why they should both be allowed to play.

Like I said, you are all over the place with this. The Sherriff's post was very informative. I think we can look forward to "Lights out" doing what he does best this year.

He is lucky that it didn't get any more serious with this wackjob.

good information

I dont know if he is guilty or not, he should be slapped for dealing with a skank like Tila Tequila anyways.

IMO, all too often people have blinders on when it comes to these situations. If someone commits a crime, and they are good at something, all of a sudden the situation is "different". The list is a long one, when it comes to athletes/actors/celebrities that have been caught on the other side of the law. For some reason just because he can sack a quarterback well, or dunk a basketball like noone else, he is above the law? Society is warped, and some of the people on here fall into that category.

Couple months back Chris Brown(singer) choked his girlfriend until she blacked out, but because the guy can sell his stupid music, its all ok. Do you really think OJ wasnt guilty, or Kobe? Please..........too many people looking through rose colored glasses. It doesnt matter if he is guilty or not, money will get him off. Too bad for Vick he was charged in Virginia, being a commonwealth state, we dont take any crap here.

Kobe was innocent of rape, and the OJ think has been beaten to death already.

And Chris Brown is innocent too, no his dumbass girlfriend will get beaten again.

Of course Kobe was innocent, he is the best player in the NBA. And when your innocent, you dont have to pay people off to keep it out of court. This is exactly what Im talking about, and I wont even play the race card, this is old news. Lemme guess Michael Jackson was innocent too right? You guys make me laugh how easily you forget just because someone is a star, it just makes it all better.

Dude, Kobe's accusor was a psychopath. She bragged about the encounter and her initial statement was inconsistent as well.

As you have proven, star's get convicted in the court of public opinion whether they did anything or not.

No Kobe is innocent because the girl's story was so inconsistent. "8 different semen samples to quote Dave Chappelle"
