No it's clear as day the police screwed up the investigation. But glad to see the usual skeptics about government/police power throwing skepticism to the wind when it comes to their athletes.
"Here’s a good compilation in the Tampa Bay Times of what the police failed to do after a friend of the accuser’s called 911 in the early hours of December 7 of last year, after the woman either had sex consensually with Winston (his version) or was assaulted by him (hers). They didn’t ask for his DNA. They didn’t try to get Winston’s phone records or his social media postings. They didn’t interview anyone at the bar where she said she had been drinking, or ask for surveillance footage—which existed, but was taped over automatically after a month. They didn’t look for the cab driver, who, according to the accuser, took her, Winston, and another man to his room. They didn’t look for Winston’s friends, who the woman said saw what happened in his room, even though one of them was identified as an FSU player named Chris and was obviously Chris Casher.
After Winston’s lawyer talked to him first, Casher gave a statement backing up Winston last November; the same is true of a second teammate, Ronald Darby. Carroll says there are inconsistencies in what Casher told the police—including the fact that he said at one point, but not in the statement the police released, that he videotaped part of the sexual encounter, but then erased his phone (another piece of evidence that sounds like it was lost). An assistant state attorney said of Casher and Darby, “I have concerns about their credibility.”"
