Subject: Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: McElwain addresses Callaway case
I don't want to come across as either insensitive to women who find themselves in this situation, or as a head-in-the-sand Gator homer, but a quote that I saw attributed to someone on the enforcement/investigative side of the house (may have even been Cervone), used wording that was more "there is no evidence that any wrongdoing occurred" than "there was not enough evidence to obtain a conviction".
That being said, I wish they had selected someone to oversee the case that had no ties whatsoever to UF. The guy they chose may have impeccable ethics and qualifications, but as noted in multiple places, it can't help but be looked at as though there's a conflict of interest, particularly among those who wish to see it that way.
I hate to see UF, who suspended these guys immediately while a lengthy and exhaustive investigation went on, lumped together with FSU and the way they blatantly mishandled the Winston "case".
Is it football season yet?

This is bad. Bad all around.
The State's attorney, Bill Cervone declined any action because there isn't enough evidence for a conviction.
The victim then, apparently went to the student court for some attempt at justice.
Did something bad happen to her? We can say yes with about 90% accuracy. (statistical research of victims who don't pursue conviction)
The victim and her 5 witnesses just didn't have a case.
This is bad for the Gators, bad for Callaway, bad for college football.
And most of all, bad for the victim.
I'm glad Harris is gone. And, I hope Callaway learned an important lesson. Maybe he did.
