OFFICIAL WORD ON JD QUINN

Get the low down on Griz Football and the FCS

Postby El_Gato on Thu Jun 05, 2008 9:47 am

Still in "catch-up" mode so I apologize for asking this rather than perusing the entire thread, but my question is why was the blood test not performed once Q requested it?
It's just a flesh wound...

What we have here is the beating of a dead horse because there isn't enough football to talk about. :deadhorse:

Oh, when will the season ever begin?

that sounds like solid info that he got off on a technicality. what we're looking for is something along the lines that leaves us all confident that quinn simply had not been drinking. or that he wasn't past the legal limit. and an explanation for why he wouldn't take the breath analysis.

so far all we have is that he wouldn't take the breath test and that he didn't, or wasn't able to, get a bac test. neither of those things exonerates him. the only thing the events that have occured would logically show is that he was given a plea deal.

so if you have something truly solid, please let us all know. cuz we'd like to feel the same way you do and i'd think jd might want everyone to know he was representing the school properly.

I posted my info but according to the resident expert on everything it isn't credible because I didn't leak the names of the people who told me. This of course coming from someone posting blog info as relevant. go figure. Either way, time to let the Quinn thread die, at least for me. It doesn't matter if the Pope gives him an alibi, people are going to believe what they wish. :twocents:

What playerrep, gb1, and others siding with Quinn are pointing out is that the legal system has taken its course. The result indeed was that of being found innocent on the most recent charge/incident. Therefore in some of our minds he has been exhonerated. For some there is no need to dig for more trash or make this a bigger "witch hunt".

Yet the otherside of this will not let this die or want JD to move forward in his GRIZ and football life. Rather I agree or disagree with the outcome is irrelevant. Either way, I wish him and the program the best, and pray he has finally learned his lessons.

I very much doubt we will ever know the complete and TRUE story. The only ones that know that are JD and his friends he was associating on that given night. Put this to rest and move forward, as of now JD is still a GRIZ until we hear otherwise. Why not accept and respect that?

If he or any GRIZ get in trouble again lets talk about it again. In the meantime, believe what you want, like or dislike JD, support Hauck or not, just put the uncalled for acquisations to rest okay! Why continue to try adding fuel to this or any fire? Move on! :thumb:

He wasn't found inncocent, the charge was dismissed. There is a huge difference. If anyone says dismissed equals plea bargain, then I guess the Duke Lacrosse players plea bargained, because their charges were dismissed as well. I am surprised someone hasn't said the hospital was paid off by the defense so they would refuse the blood test.

Duh wasn't that a given. GGG was the guy in charge that night at the hospital and he came to the conclusion no blood test = dropped charges.

Actually ... dismissing some charges while pleading guilty to others is perfectly consistent with a classical example of a plea bargain.

A plea bargain (also plea agreement, plea deal or copping a plea) is an agreement in a criminal case in which a prosecutor and a defendant arrange to settle the case against the defendant. The defendant agrees to plead guilty (and often allocute) or no contest and in some cases to also provide testimony against another person in exchange for some agreement from the prosecutor as to the punishment. A plea bargain can also include the prosecutor agreeing to charge a lesser crime (also called reducing the charges), and dismissing some of the charges against the defendant. In most cases, a plea bargain is used to reduce the number of cases and their aggregate impact on the criminal justice system as the number of cases which can be actually tried by a court system is a fraction of the number of cases filed.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_bargain

So it is perfectly reasonable that a person would read the outcome of Quinn's multiples charges, all settled in the same hearing, and come to the conclusion that it was the result of a plea bargain. In the absence of a statement to the contrary from someone involved with the case (with their, you know, name attached to the statement to assure authenticity and reliability), it is reasonable that most people would conclude that a plea agreement took place between the parties.

BAC, I don't agree your legal statement. Plea bargains usually involve pleading to one or more charges from one set of charges or circumstances. Getting several matters done at the same time is not really a plea bargain in my mind--especially when one (flimsy) charge is dropped completely. You could argue it other ways too, but the point remains that there was no evidence to support the DUI charge and there is no way he would have been convicted of a DUI. The prosecutors were going to have to drop the charge, sooner or later. Settling the prior charge caused the process to be sped up on dismissing the later charge.

Someday I'll explain Reg S-X accounting to you.

So you disagree with Wikipedia ... I guess you better get in there and start editing it so that the whole world adopts your very narrow definition.

If you don't like that one, this one works as well:

www.expertlaw.com/library/criminal/plea_bargains.html

A "charge bargain" occurs when the prosecutor allows a defendant to "plead guilty to a lesser charge," or to only some of the charges that have been filed against him. For example, a defendant charged with burgarly may be offered the opportunity to plead guilty to "attempted burglary." A defendant charged with Drunk Driving and Driving With License Suspended may be offered the opportunity to plead guilty to just the drunk driving charge.


Clearly, dropping one charge in return for a guilty plea to another charge is unquestionably within the definition of a "plea bargain" and is a very common example of a plea bargain.

If you have evidence that there was no plea bargain (such as a published statement from a real person involved with the base), that's great. But absent that, it's nothing more than speculation.

GB1: Do you still assert that it is not possible to have a plea bargain where a defendent pleads guilty to a charge in exchange for other charges being dropped? Yes or no.

I'm curious just how far you guys are willing to argue a point that I am clearly and unquestionably correct on.

In general no, in this case you are clueless. Tell me some factual information, not supposition, speculation, inuendo, and flat out guesswork. But, you believe what you want, I personally don't give a shit. It is amazing how badly you want to keep this thread going though. I am guessing Quinn pancaked your fav player last year. I am sure he will pancake a couple more this year when the Griz kick your kitty asses all over the field like they did on your turf last year. I am sure you remember that.

So you obviously don't know anything about plea bargains ... because that's exactly the kinds of scenarios they do, in fact, include. I even provided you a couple links that stated that just in case you didn't already know that.

Thanks for the extraneous off-topic nonsensical attempts at personal slams, Cat/Griz trash talk, and whatever else you loaded up your post with to cover for the fact that you are completely and totally wrong on this argument. It's funny how you go off-topic with the personal insults at the very moment you realize that the error in your argument has been exposed. I know that my argument has been validated when you start with the off-topic stuff.

Ursus: Do you agree with GB1 and PR and their assertions about the term "plea bargain" not including such scenarios as a defendent pleading guilty to one charge in exchange for other charges being dropped?

Anybody else want to take a shot at me in exchange for having to side with an obviously factually incorrect side of an argument? All you have to give up is your credibilty! :thumb:

Try reading it again, or better yet, have someone who can also comprehend read it for you, then tell you what I wrote. I said yes, in general terms that could be the case. But we are not talking in general terms. We are talking about Quinn. The DUI was dismissed, period, end of story. There was NO DEAL on the 2nd DUI. Now post some FACTS to refute it, not some crap from Wikkieland (did you get Re/Max permission?) but some FACTS on the Quinn case. You can't because it is all made up in your mind, admit it.

So it is perfectly reasonable that a person would read the outcome of Quinn's multiples charges, all settled in the same hearing, and come to the conclusion that it was the result of a plea bargain. In the absence of a statement to the contrary from someone involved with the case (with their, you know, name attached to the statement to assure authenticity and reliability), it is reasonable that most people would conclude that a plea agreement took place between the parties.

Getting several matters done at the same time is not really a plea bargain in my mind--especially when one (flimsy) charge is dropped completely. You could argue it other ways too, but the point remains that there was no evidence to support the DUI charge and there is no way he would have been convicted of a DUI. The prosecutors were going to have to drop the charge, sooner or later. Settling the prior charge caused the process to be sped up on dismissing the later charge.

Someday I'll explain Reg S-X accounting to you.


The Supreme Court couldn't convince him so why bother trying.


GB1: Do you still assert that it is not possible to have a plea bargain where a defendent pleads guilty to a charge in exchange for other charges being dropped? Yes or no.

I'm curious just how far you guys are willing to argue a point that I am clearly and unquestionably correct on.



GB1, Brad is upset that things didn't work out for him. You know when he gives his YES OR NO thing he is forming his usual constructive dilemma. Don't play and maybe he'll go home. :thumb:


You are right. He does the same thing everytime he is getting his ass handed to him, but his ego is so overinflated he can't stand not to have the last word. If you posted it was Thursday, he would want to argue that. Hell, maybe in his mind it is Tuesday.

Ursus: Do you agree with GB1 and PR and their assertions about the term "plea bargain" not including such scenarios as a defendent pleading guilty to one charge in exchange for other charges being dropped?


Brad....you gotta pull your head out on this one. Let me put it to you in this way. You are asserting that every time charges are dropped, it's due to a plea bargain. Right.....Yes or No? sound familiar?? Get the point??? Talk about being off topic.
I'd rather be fishing.

Not to mention he is a liar. I made it crystal clear to anyone who is the least bit honest that it is possible to have a plea in a situation like this, but that was NOT the case in the dismissal of the 2nd DUI. I am not talking about generalities, but he is grasping at anything to try and twist my words to fit his fit of desperation. not gonna work bradley. Now run along.
