Here's the opinion: http://www.search.txcourts.gov/SearchMedia.aspx?MediaVersionID=fcd6e11e-e393-4bca-b9a0-5af15d3f663e&MediaID=28bfe4bb-2dc4-420c-a09d-9ca2d68c5511&coa=" + this.CurrentWebState.CurrentCourt + @"&DT=Opinion

(Not sure the link will work)

The only basis upon which the case was reversed was that the trial court erred by admitting a string of text messages between the victim and her friend which immediately preceded the offense. Although the trial court excluded them because it found that it was prejudicial to the victim in referencing prior sexual conduct, the appeals court found that the messages should have been admitted because they were relevant to the issue of consent, and did not paint the victim in a negative light.

The trial court did admit messages between the victim and her friend immediately AFTER the offense, in which the victim said that SamU "basically raped her."

The other issues that SamU raised in his appeal were not reached because the case was reversed. The only other issue that the court ruled on was whether the indictment should have been dismissed entirely. That issue went against SamU.

So the result is a full new trial, in which the full text message string will be introduced. It still seems like a massive gamble on SamU's part. He has a lot more to lose, and the general court of public opinion is pretty poisoned against him now. Although the Briles idolaters still exist, particularly in Waco, a lot more people have seen the light.

At a minimum, it ensures continued focus on the cesspool in Waco. And this time the trial will not fly under the radar the way it did (by design) the first time around.

Reaction in Waco is exactly what you would expect, this vindicates everything!

From that thread:

"If this plays out, then the number of actual convictions--the only number that really matters--goes down from two to one.

I'm waiting to see if anything actually comes out of this. But if it's true, so much for Baylor's sexual assault scandal. Accusations are a dime a dozen. Just ask the Duke LaCrosse team.

If Baylor had real leaders, the fallout from this "scandal" the Austin media invented would have been minimal. Instead, we had a bunch of wimps in the BOR who acted like the puppets (or ventriloquist's dummies) to the folks in Austin. It's all so pathetic, irresponsible, and dangerous.

But let's wait to see if anything really happens. This sounds too good to be true. And if there was a genuine crime there, then he belongs in jail."

Consent can be revoked at any time. That's why the prosecutors wanted the texts out and the trial judge agreed. Even if the victim (who wasn't even in a relationship with SU) consented to sex previously, that consent in no way continues to any time he wants some. He's not on trial for having sex. He's on trial for rape.

I suspect this deal is a long way from over.

And the Baylor poster saying the only number that matters is the number of convictions is disgusting. The only number that matters is the number of victims. Go rot, Baylor trash.

Good luck with that. He has a lot more to lose, with a lot more jail time at stake.
Agreed. If he has to sit in front of a jury not located in Waco his piddly probation sentence is likely to be far more harsh. I think the appeals court did us all a favor here.

This is good news / bad news. His sentence was essentially nothing considering the crime. Now he had to go through another trial.

From the Baylor end - they buried the trial last time. The next will be highly publicized.

Re: the 10th Court of Appeals: all 3 justices are Baylor alums.
Fascinating facts regarding the composition of the appeals court. I agree with you. All this does is prolong this saga in the public eye. I have no doubt he'll be convicted *again* for the same crime, but this time with an even harsher punishment. In other words, I see this as Baylor alums on the appeals court ensuring that we'll get another "0 days since a Baylor media disaster" update from Shaggy at some point in the future.

Were there two fires?
No, just one fire.

"A catastrophe and a challenge came down with shocking suddenness on Tuesday, March 22, 1910, and 8:30 p.m. -- a fire of unproven origin that destroyed the magnificent fire-proof (?) Main Building and resulted in the removal, that summer, from Waco to Fort Worth.
