Ben Roethlisberger will not face criminal charges


There is no need to wait for today's 2PM press conference, because the DA has already leaked his decision to ESPN. As The Brown Log correctly predicted days ago before nearly every source in the traditional media, Ben Roethlisberger will not be prosecuted for sexual assault.

UPDATE LIVE STREAM OF PRESS CONFERENCE

The DA is visibly nervous as he announces his decision live. You can watch the stream below.

Big Ben decision due Monday

The Brown Log has been following the Ben Roethlisberg case very closely and a decision is set to be announced Monday on whether or not criminal charges will be filed in the investigation into sexual assault allegations against Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

It doesn't take a large leap in logic to conclude already that Big Ben once again will manage to walk between the raindrops and he will not face a criminal prosecution. The signs all point in that direction. Since the incident took place nearly one month ago, Roetlisberger has hired a top criminal attorney and private eye to work behind the scenes and these highly paid gents are there to produce results. Surely they have not been sitting inactively these last four weeks. Furthermore statements from the DA in Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit in Georgia would indicate that the DA is very carefully trying to position himself politically for the aftermath of a non prosecution. Finally a request for Roethlisberger's DNA was withdrawn and a second interview with the Georgia police never took place which would indicate the DA didn't see any need to try to snare Roethlisberger in any contradictions.

Ben's not going to have to face a trial, that's pretty clear, but in assessing his character just look at what people close to him say (these bold quotes have been excerpted from an article in the Toronto Star, the complete article which you can read by clicking on this link:

Some who made the bar scene that night described Roethlisberger as a "good guy," although at least one woman found his attitude distasteful, telling a Pittsburgh newspaper he referred to her and her friends as "bitches." (That language doesn't make him a rarity. But, sadly, sexual assaults are hardly rare, either.)

One long-time member of the Pittsburgh media, John Steigerwald, wrote in Sunday's editions of The Valley News Dispatch: "Ben's a bad guy. I don't know him and he's never done anything to me to make me dislike him, but there are just too many stories out there about how he mistreats people and expects special treatment himself.

"In 33 years of covering (Pittsburgh) sports, I've never come across a player who generated more unsolicited, `Why is that guy such a jackass' questions. No player comes close. I've seen his teammates roll their eyes at the mention of his name.

"I had one guy, who covers the team on a daily basis, tell me that his teammates `despise' him. And he used capital letters. That was the summer before he led them to their last Super Bowl win. So, he may be a little more popular in the locker room now."

Something is wrong with this guy.
in any event, Let's see what happens Monday.

Ben Roethlisberger: Helpless victim



Against all odds, once again, Ben Roethlisberger asks us to believe he is the helpless victim of a ruthless woman. To further outline his innocence, Big Ben has hired the same Georgia attorney who cleared Ray Lewis of murder charges and Ben's team have also hired a top notch private investigator to "assist" him in his efforts to be cleared of these charges.


While the NFL's crime problem is well known, if you visit the blog in this link you will find that no other NFL player has been accused in the past year of crimes related to sexual assault. There are several players who were accused of domestic violence, but none were accused of crimes of a sexual nature.

So you have to ask, if we are supposed to believe that NFL players are such easy targets for ruthless predator women, why aren't false accusations of sexual violence against professional sports figures more commonplace?!? Why is it that Ben Roethlisberger is the only player so unlucky to get himself accused not once, but twice, of sexual assault???

For more details on Big Ben's night of consensual fun times, read the article in this link. As another wise man once said, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Ben Roethlisberger, Roger Goodell, Michael Vick and the NFL Personal Conduct Policy


A wise man once stated that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..... it's probably a duck.

Is Ben Roethlisberger a sexual predator? I don't know but he sure is quacking right now.

If Big Ben ends up sitting in a prison cell and or suspended part of the season by Roger Goodell, it will certainly assist our Cleveland Browns chances in 2010 so let's hope he keeps on quacking all the way to the big house.

Unlike the dogs that Michael Vick victimized, Roethlisberger's latest alleged victim is a human being, hence Ben's vast financial resources might allow him, ironically, to escape justice as it will be his word against her word and Roethlisberger's advisors are already lining up the best support money can buy to assure that their wealthy young client avoids any consequences for his acts. You know what they say, if the glove don't fit............

One has to wonder however what the position of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might be. Goodell's NFL Personal Conduct Policy (click here to read the policy) to date has correctly held NFL players to a much higher standard than any commissioner in the past and Goodell is not bound by legal judgements. Practically speaking, he can do as he wishes when it comes to enforcing standards of player ethics.

From Roethlisberger's point of view, even in the best case scenario, his behavior that evening is still well outside the standards that Goodell's Personal Conduct Policy seeks to enforce.

If Goodell doesn't punish Roethlisberger at least as severly as he punished Vick, what would that mean? White quarterbacks are more important to the NFL than black quarterbacks? Or perhaps Goodell is simply a dog lover.

We will follow this issue closely in the coming weeks...
