So question: is the evidence collected in the criminal case available to the civil proceedings?  How does this work?

 

According to the web page of this lawfirm, the pretext calls may be admissible in California:

Good question. I wish I was admitted in CA and could speak with more specificity.  Generally, evidence collected in a criminal investigation is admissible in a civil proceeding, but there could be some fruit of the poisonous tree issues that would probably be state-specific and controlling with regard to the crossover. However, evidence from the criminal investigation would need to be admitted through the testimony of the criminal investigators. This would expose them to examination about why they declined to press charges (assuming charges do not hereafter get pressed).

I actually think the call could help him.  Can’t imagine many gang rapists take phone calls from their victims, much less admit to having sex and then tell their victim she should get tested for STD’s.

Judging by McD’s body language, Punt God is gonna be cut in the morning. Especially that “we have work to do” question. He’s furious. 

it has to be a fait accompli by now, right?   Based on the fact that he didn’t play tonight.

McDermott said let’s start by talking about the thing with Matt but then every question he’s asked he keeps saying he’s not going to get into it.

I appreciate coach putting an empathetic, human face on this upsetting situation. That tracks with his integrity. I hope to see the team make the sober, correct decisions moving forward. As coach just said, "Find out the truth...and do the right thing." We can work with that.

Would believe this statement isn’t given without the Bills having seeing it first.

Sean said he wasn’t aware of it until after the game

[Warcodered]

He seems genuinely upset to be in this situation at all.

Wonder if there's tensions between McDermott and beane here. Mcd looks pissed

Jay, I’m assuming Skurski, is relentless.

Going off the interview, I feel that if it was purely down to McDermott, Araiza would be cut.

[Bimmer323i]

I call BS on this deal for now…. If he really did this why wasn’t he arrested back then… Now all the sudden he’s in the NFL and has a few bucks… Sounds like a possible scamming gold digging you know what trying to get her hands on some fast cash

There's tension between him and someone.

 

He's pissed and not in control of the situation.

Wow, what autocorrected from “align”. Yikes.  And I hope she’s recovering from this stinker of a game.
