Yeah I'm going to let the dust settle a little before I get out any pitchforks. I'm still glad Haack is off this roster and if we have to sign a cut punter he'll be no worse than 37 yard Haack. Hopefully the truth comes out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he even releasing this to the public? Yea I'm sorry. If you got an open shut case this kind of ***t isn't necessary. Instead it makes you look defensive and I know what that means. I'll trust the Bills here until further notice that Araiza actually is a rapist. He's still a punter and they've had over a month minimum to figure this out.

thewookie1 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 So the Bills are trusting the lawyer and their player over an accuser which isn't a huge surprise. Haack wasn't good so him being cut wasn't really a huge indication. To be honest it feels as if guilty or not; the supposed victim definitely has an ax to grind with Matt but whether its for legitimate reasons remains to be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 3 minutes ago, Beck Water said: I don't believe that's correct. From the link in my post to which you're replying: It sounds as though if there are less than 3 years age difference, it's always a misdemeanor. If it's more than 3 years age difference, but the alleged victim is over 16, it can be either. Now from a criminal conviction POV obviously the difference is significant, but again - Tyrell Dodson was suspended by the NFL for 6 games when he pled guilty of a misdemeanor charge. You certainly could be correct. My Google Law Degree is worth very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I would think Bills comfortable with his background based on pre-draft process. This would have come to light then for the team. now that being said he is a Punter. If there is anything there move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason for the victims lawyer to pressure the Bills is to get more money. That part sounds pretty bad for the victims lawyer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the media did either or we'd have heard about it before today. It was in the public domain on 30th July. There was a very early post on this thread about it though, for whatever reason, it was overlooked by the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I think you have to cut him regardless of whether or not you're sure he's guilty. The accusations are possibly the worst for an active NFL player since Hernandez. He's just a punter and a rookie at that. The cost of being wrong is so much higher than the value of being right. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A TV interview would do that. If there are inconsistencies with her story she’ll lose, she’s hoping for a settlement. I wonder how much she’s suing for? I don’t think she’s suing for money; she’s doing this to get it into the public domain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkirchofer Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just now, Alphadawg7 said: Or one could be amazed at the instant social media conviction of a player by people who don't know really much about the facts of the case. You are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but we as a society lovvvvve to convict in the court of public opinion the moment we get a sliver of a story. There is a lot of evidence here that maybe he isn't as guilty as the rush judgers have made him out to be given the Bills kept him after they investigated the matter and is playing tomorrow still in a meaningless preseason game. You have issues with court of public opinion when it comes to the accused, but have no problem when it comes to victims. "Maybe he isn't as guilty" as if any of it is ok. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
