regarding ga tech, when a former star player and current coach gets a dui and leaving the scene of an accident, then pot possesion, doesn’t that add a point or two?

The Tech SA turned himself in, in DeKalb. He wasn’t charged there. You can turn yourself in any jurisdiction once charged. The campus police didn’t hide anything, it was being investigated. Plus, oral sex is considered sodomy in Georgia. So there’s a whole lot of sodomy going on between your parents. Oh what fun sodomy is in Georgia. Read the latest report from the AJC, there’s a lot of reasonable doubt in this case. I hope his lawyer went to Emory or Georgia State.

Didn’t your beloved Gators have a felony more disgusting than any of this? You know the player stealing a dead girls CC and using it for 6 months after! I guess you don’t include Florida on your board since this is a Florida Blog?

His mother dying was indeed a tragedy, but I dont understand the “stacked deck” analogy.

By all accounts, he was a pretty bright kid who was afforded an opportunity that many black youth in Macon dont get, which is to go to a school worth a darn(the very affluent private school Stratford Academy). When you add in the fact that while Stratford wins lots of games, its not seen a D-1 pipeline, so he was doing better than most of his peers and has been for a while now.

I’m not totally sure that he gets kicked off the team, mainly because there have been much worse offenses in Athens with much more lenient punishments, and not because of people thinking of this as “lashing out”.

A brother ‘going down’ on a girl ? Wow. That’s a rare act indeed.

A new article has come out. The sodomy charge is for him going down on her. Both parties agree that there was no intercourse at all. She felt guilty for cheating on her boyfriend and asked him to stop. Then she said he didn’t and he said he did. So no rape took place and the sodomy charges are for oral sex. Which you lawyers have proven isn’t a crime anymore. So all he did was go down on a girl that felt guilty once things got started and because they were both drunk its his fault for some reason. Also I was right, all you oral sex loving athletes out there, be afraid because its $40,000 bond and a rape case.

As it happens, criminal law actually is my specialty. The arrest charge is not binding. The Athens jury pool and hence the DA’s office can be rather forgiving, but if the orbital bone was broken, I would expect a felony indictment. That, however, wouldn’t foreclose the possibility of a plea offer to a misdemeanor. Alls I know is the pregnant belly rub charges sound like bullshit to me.

Yet another Law Dawg chiming in here…

Doug @ 43: Georgia’s sodomy law was actually dealt the blow (heh) by our own Supreme Court, not the U.S.’s, in 1998 in Powell v. State, 270 Ga. 327, 510 S.E.2d 18 (1998), well before the SCOTUS got into the act in that Texas case. (I still chuckle at least on the inside whenever I think of the aptly named Georgia case which led to the U.S. Supreme Court’s upholding of sodomy laws in 1986: Bowers v. Hardwick — get it?)

The General @ 47: I think MaconDawg was basing his “misdemeanor” evaluation on the fact that the charge in the police report was, in fact, O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-5-23.1 and not 16-5-24. Now, whether the indictment reflects an upgrade to the felony charge of aggravated battery remains to be seen. Criminal law is in no way my specialty, but I assume nothing’s set in stone by a mere police report.

Please forgive me if my formatting codes don’t work out. I’m lawyer. And I’m over 40.

For MaconDawg, O.S., and any other lovers of the nuances of Georgia law, one might assume the charges coming for Lemon will be Aggravated Battery, a felony, because of “serious disfigurement” or rendering a member of his body, to-wit, his eye, useless. O.C.G.A. � 16-5-24. We’ll see what the DA’s office wants to do with it, though.

I was pulling for Lemon to make it at UGA. Now I am afraid He is through. A kid with His background has the deck stacked against Him. The other two guys deny any wrong doing, so, We shall see.

His “boyz” were apparently members of the UGA football team. When I read the police report (and witness statements) all I could think of was Kermit Washington and Rudy Tomjonovich (with the cook being Rudy).

I apologize in advance for bringing basketball into this discussion.

What no one has mentioned was the fact that Lemon’s mother had been murdered by her boyfriend and that the NCAA allowed a “Lemon” fund to be set up to financially care for Lemon and his brother following her murder. I guess they didn’t spend any of the money on counseling.
