He is nearly Manziel-like in his ability to avoid pressure. During one of his rushing touchdowns against Iowa, I swear he dematerialized for a split second to get past the defender who was about 6 inches away from him and still missed on the tackle.
No problem darkgable. I agree about OJ, I believe he was guilty and that the prosecution did a horrible job presenting their case. I have two daughters and two granddaughters so I tend to take their side.
Hypothetical question. Happens across the nation. A college aged girl gets hyped up on booze and/or drugs and entices a college aged guy to have wild, crazy stuff sex with her. She gets him going and then suddenly decides it has gone too far and wants to stop in the middle of the event. The guy finishes. The girl feels guilt and remorse for the crazy stuff she's done. She also knows she did tell him to stop and he didn't. She also knows she wanted it to happen with him in the beginning as she initiated the encounter. The guy says she never said to stop and is just feeling guilty. The witnesses, if any, are divided on the issue.
Is the guy guilty of rape or sexual assault, or is he not guilty? What do you decide if these are the primary facts in evidence in a court trial?

The very moment a female takes a sip of alcohol, she is deemed unable to give consent.
This is by law. You didn't need to give this elaborate story. If she drinks, it's considered sexual assault.

As a criminal defense attorney, I have discussed this with colleagues on multiple occasions. One of the ways that someone can be convicted of rape in TN is without the effective consent by the victim and the defendant knows or has reason to know at the time the victim did not consent. So, what if she first consented but then changed her mind halfway through? If alcohol is involved, then it blurs everything. Alcohol effects memory and clear thinking for both individuals. Frankly, it's kind of a scary definition. I basically rephrased some of your scenario, and there is no good answer.
