There is no assuming with the Oats/Miller case..... Texts so far showed that Miller wasn't oblivious to there being an altercation / issue going on. Simply put, had he not met up with Miles, the murder weapon doesn't get used... Am I saying that Miles wouldn't have committed murder anyway in some form or fashion? No.... But simply put, if Miller ignores Miles or says no to meeting up with him, that gun isn't used in a murder that night and a kid still has his mom the next morning....
Beard's case is literally him and his lady having a fight. How far it went is still unknown outside of drunken recanted testimony on both parties.... Because no one knows exactly what went down besides Beard and his fiance, all that is left is to assume....
And recent history has shown that believing one side of an issue with zero hesitancy hasn't faired well.... At the end of the day, I don't give 2 rips about Beard because he will never be our coach... But to circle back to the earlier point, Oats has taken any heat off Beard in the media.... If you are a school like Ole Miss or a lower tier P5 school with an opening and Beard is interested, you make that hire a million times over. There is no heat that will be too much for Ole Miss to not hire him....
At end of the day, it appears Beard's wife/fiance has forgiven him and that is all that matters. Literally no one else's opinion / input matters in this case except the people directly involved.
Oats basically excusing a murder because his chance at winning is greater by doing so is drastically worse than a couple getting into a spat that winds up he said she said and they do nothing but stay together. In my humble opinion, one case took away someone's free choice and will and the other exemplifies it.
Good day and GBO
“Literally no one else's opinion / input matters in this case except the people directly involved.”
This is the most misguided observation in your post. Every domestic violence study ever done points to the strong denial mechanism of the victim. Investigators are trained to rate victim accounts as some of the least credible evidence. When comparing bite marks vs her, as you characterized it, “opinion”, I’ll take the physical evidence. When a coach is at a minimum expected to guide young men how to respect and interact with women, I’m going to hire the one that I can’t identify through forensics.
