Infamous Jameis

Infamous Jameis does not really have the same ring to it, but this Jameis Winston story is starting to heat up regardless.  I honestly wonder if Columbus, Ohio is behind drudging this story up.  It all just seems too good to be true to salacious Deadspin addicts like myself.  You can get a much clearer perspective of how ass-backwards everything is in Tallahassee from the alleged victim's press release today.  I know that these stories have two sides, but I have to take a Heisman trophy candidate's story with a fucking gigantic grain of salt after Lennay Kekua.  Notre Dame also knows these sexual assault cases all too well.

Let's rank the best parts of this "small town" big-time football cover-up:
1. TPD would not name Jameis Winston on report, even after being positively identified by victim.
2. Jameis Winston didn't have an attorney, thus his lawyer is the FSU football team lawyer. So TPD illegally informed FSU officials, who obviously alerted their team attorney, who then informed Winston of an ongoing rape case, and then decided to represent Winston.  Some may see an obvious conflict of interest, but what I actually see is FSU officials debating the best way to slander the victim when need be.  "Say she was drunk... she'll leave school so we can bash her grades... etc."
3. Jameis Winston should not have known about the investigation, only law enforcement, or else he could get his alibi and witnesses in order.
4. Detective told victim and her attorney that Tallahassee is a football town and that she will be "raked over the coals." (Steubenville anyone?)
5. Detective would not turn over DNA and blood work results, would not collect DNA from Winston, would not interview the only witness.
6. Detective finally confirms victims sobriety 4 months after repeated requests, while currently allowing the media to propagate that she was drunk.
7. Why was the State Attorney last to know 11 months later?

We all know why.
