Appreciate you guys having the balls on covering a topic that is tough to discuss. I think your points throughout the entirety of the case have been fair, non biased and a good representation of how larger media channels should have gone about the case . Kudos to you guys

The police were investigating a similar incident that happened two weeks earlier in the same room at the same bar and never even put two and two together to think the cases might be related. Guess who was involved in the case they were investigating? One Arterio Morris--who just happened to be in the room standing next to McCullar at the exact time that Shannon is accused of this incident. The alleged victim thought Shannon was standing next to McCullar. It wasn't Shannon. She allegedly ID'd Shannon after looking at team pictures on the internet. She didn't see Morris's picture on the KU team page because he had already been dismissed from the team after multiple sexual assault allegations. Morris also has colored dreads. This was all uncovered by the defense not the Lawrence PD. This case never should have been charges much less brought to trial. You guys have done a good job covering this in a fair manner.

She didn't try to ruin his life, and a poor choice of emoji by her friend's sister didn't change that and doesn't prove anything. He can try that, but it won't make much sense if, by then, he earns millions of dollars, and she earns a modest salary. Also, he'd have to prove that she committed fraud, that she knew he didn't do those things (the groping and fingering) to her. But the truth is she does believe that, and she always will, so I highly doubt Shannon will even try to sue her. And, if he did, it almost certainly would be thrown out of court.

I've been nothing but impressed by every Terrence Shannon Jr. interaction I've ever seen. Always has held himself professionally and kindly whenever I've seen him on T.V. or in person. About 15 months ago he along with Matthew Meyer & Dain Dainja came to the First String basketball tournament (little kid basketball in the North end of Champaign). My then 8 year old and then 6 year old sons played in the league and tournament. It was great to have all three of the Illini players there but TJ stuck around for at least 90 minutes (not complaining the others didn't stay as long, it was awesome they came at all, they could easily have had stuff to do), I left with my family before he left. Literally sat on my son's bench and made these kids feel great. Took pictures with anyone who asked, he came across as surprisingly shy to my wife and me. Obvious he loved being there and making the kids feel good, and he also seemed to enjoy the joy when a kid made a great play. When I heard he was charged with rape I was shocked and so were my kids. I have followed the public information pretty darn closely because I know people can be great most of the time and still behave horribly. I've waited, and I've read police reports and what's been reported to have come out at the trial, and there is nothing in the public record that makes me think he is likely to have done this. I'm not saying the alleged victim is lying, she may well believe he touched her, but if this is what gets somebody convicted of a major crime beyond a reasonable doubt I'd be so sad.

This obviously should have never been brought to trial. He needs to sue the asses off of everyone involved and demand a formal apology. He needs to get some Kyle Rittenhouse and Nick Sandmann type money and retribution for this traveshamockery.

You two have been more than fair covering this. Have simply reacted to what has been public knowledge and have done so carefully every step of the way. Any Twitter shade thrown your way on this is nonsense.

I hope there is some accountability to the LPD and the Douglas County DA office. Need to have more than she said in a public place with lots of people to bring charges against someone. Very happy for TSJ that he can move on, but what he had to endure is on the LPD and DA. Luckily, TSJ could afford such a legal team. This case is how innocent folks go to jail if they have no money. Imagine all the legal fees, draft position, NIL money from missed games, and accolades TSJ lost in this.

I respect you guys for saying up front you won't "go there" with the accuser, but this is a serious matter. False accusations with the intent to ruin someone's life, freedom, and extort money? No, you need to be subject to the same penalties that came dangerously close to being imposed upon the victim of your CRIME. This sort of thing cannot be allowed to go unpunished. This sort of thing happens much more often than we are willing to admit, and lower-profile victims frequently wind up committing suicide over it and people just shrug their shoulders and go "oh well". Absolutely nothing about that is acceptable.

NOT GUILTY!!!!! #TSJ #ALLAMERICAN

Shawn Oakman entered the chat...

I do think you guys covered TSJ and the story perfectly

I think you summed all this up pretty well. The entire story is sad for both parties. I'm glad the police took the allegations seriously, but it does seem reasonable to require some minimal detective work and evidence be required to indict someone and upend their life. I have no idea what the district attorney or w/e was thinking when they moved forward with charges. Those text messages are a BAD look. Hopefully the jurors have a clearer picture of what happened than I do and they do the right thing. If you've ever served on a jury you know how stressful that can be. It's a tough subject. I'm not smart enough to handle it.

Some never get free of those allegations because they don’t have attorneys brave enough to fight for truth or money to fight the lie. Who will give those people justice?

To expound off of Carter's point. It is also a slap in the face to women who have been raped and have never received justice. The fact that the victim had such an inconsistent story for such a serious charge is staggering too. The text messages were what irritated me. This victim will also fuel men to downplay actual rape charges to women who have been actually raped. I hope she really thinks about what she did and the consequences of it. When I first heard the that this trial was going on. I thought it might of actually happened, but I didn't know TSJs personality either. Feel bad for him and what he had to go through.

Not only that, but the all-white jury came to the correct conclusion, without regard to race. Reverse the races of jury, accuser, and victim of the accuser, and I bet you a dollar the verdict is polar opposite, evidence be damned.

I've tried and defended a lot of sexual assault cases. Let me help you out, you don't need DNA or witnesses for a rape to happen. In fact, you rarely have either. Most rapes don't have witnesses. Often DNA evidence isn't something that ends up being a major part of a trial. If people are expecting those things to be common they are mistaken. Generally these cases involve the accused and the alleged victim and no one else. That's why these cases are hard to prosecute. I have no idea if he did or didn't do it. That's going to boil down to how credible a jury finds her on the stand. Yes, digital penetration is rape. Rape isn't just penis in Vagina or Anus or mouth, anything penetrating is rape by law. But if it helps, consider it sexual assault.
