Yeah but the problem is then at what point to do you want set the statute of limitations on an assault? 2 weeks? 3 days? 24 hours?

Maybe she was afraid. Maybe she thought she would try to work it out with him and after 4 weeks decided it wasn't worth it and decided to file then. I mean ... I know it's inconvenient for us, but I'm not sure how the fact that she waited 4 weeks to file can ONLY mean it never happened.

Jordan Hill statement: "I'm saddened to learn of the accusations that were filed against me today...My attorneys are working to gather all of the facts and evidence and I plan to cooperate completely with authorities. I'd like to apologize to the Lakers. I promise to keep my focus and attention on the playoffs during this time and to helping my team win another championship.

Jordan Hill is here at Lakers practice. I assume he will be flying out later to Houston.

Best bet is to let the situation play itself out, and let justice take its course rather than assume no Laker player has ever been legitimately charged with a crime and that all non-Laker players are definitely guilty.

People are discounting it because:

1. It sounds fishy.
2. Due process

If there's a real assault, you don't wait 4 weeks to file charges, with no physical evidence to boot.

All Hill needs is a halfway decent lawyer here. They can't convict him based on the evidence that supposedly exists. I mean, you could file charges, and have it go to trial, but Hill would be acquitted....because there's no proof that he committed the assault. Unless there were witnesses to that actual assault.

If there were eyewitnesses, he would have been charged long ago.

If she was afraid, that's when you go immediately to the police.

If she was trying to work it out? Are you suggesting that would be a legitimate reason to delay a month to file charges? Criminal charges are not something you file on a relationship's whim. Either he committed a crime worthy of charges or he did not. If he did, you file. If he didn't you don't. But either way the last thing you do is decide based on whether you still want him as your boyfriend.

He may well have assaulted her, but there is no valid justification for flying to another city, then waiting a month to file charges.

Jordan Hill said he does not expect to miss any practices or games. "I'll be here."

Obviously, you don't follow the piles upon piles of research on crime victims and why so often, they fail to report the crimes committed against them. In fact, many studies indicate that more crimes are NOT reported, than are reported. The reason? Embarassment & fear are among the top two.

If you had a child who was let's say assaulted and he or she didn't tell you about it for a year, I wonder if you'll tell them they are lying because real victims go to the police immediately. Would you?

Are you among the "Free Jerry Sandusky" troupe because those guys took WAY more than 4 weeks to report the crimes?

You're right. Either he committed the crime or he didn't. I totally agree. So what relevance does the time it took to report it have to do with anything? Either he did it or he didn't, RIGHT? (Or are you arguing that if you take X hours to report it, then it physically could not have happened?)

Bruh, it's a picture of the actual statement. Who does that?

What's easier. Taking a picture of a written document you just received via fax and sending it via text message. Or rewriting the entire response in a text message?

Lol you are right.. When I turn in my papers for class I just snap pics of each page and text it to my Professor.

Again I ask you, "who does that?" How many credible reporters/writers would use a PICTURE of a statement to get the word out? How lazy is that?

You do realize who posted this picture on Twitter, right?

Yes, but whose shadow is that on the paper?
