For those interested, the process of finding scape goats has begun as finger pointing is in full swing.
Roethlisberger inquiry bumpy
Highlights:
1. Now it appears the victim never approached the police officer - her friends did that for her.
2. The victim lawyered up quickly - usually it's the other guy isn't it? Considering the family's attitude toward the local PD that may have repercussions on the department depending on just what the "retired" investigator did.
3. GBI pointing finger at the PD for not securing the scene even though they did not do it w/in 4 hrs of being called in either.
4. First I heard about the victim being picky about making the report to just any police officer and it was one of her friends who sought input from a deputy. The victim was also less that accessible to the GBI.
5. This is more detail about Sgt Blash than I came across before - although I have read elsewhere that his comment about the victim was to other officers and not to the victim or the accused.
6. If Blash is to be the scape goat - it appears his assessment of the victim has to be discredited as it is not favorable to her. Seems there is a good start here of doing that (I am not arguing some of it is not warranted)
7. Females intoxicated making a report - Officer telling them they are not making sense - they interpret as him not wanting to take their complaint. Not saying that is an accurate account but I find it easy to believe someone upset and intoxicated misinterpret/hear what they want...
8. The friends who admit not being present were saying more than the victim - maybe I am reading to much into that but it is a factor that would need to be considered.
9. There appears to be more than enough to support that Sgt Blash mishandled the incident if all allegations (or even some) are true. Appears some of those making allegations have a personal interest in diverting attention away from themselves.
10. Prosecutor Bright appears to be claiming he made a deal to release info in return for an interview w/ Ben - he gave and they didn't (more finger pointing?)
11. WHERE did the find this male DNA super-particle?
12. The "unsubstantiated" other report - do I understand correctly any information related to that claim was obtained 3rd hand and NOT from an alleged victim?
