OT: Winston accuser gets 950K from FSU

Sounds like Mr. Winston will have his hands full in the civil trial, and may have to part with some cash.
 
I know almost nothing about the case but didn't she flip flop on her story before, hurting her credibility?
 
Where is the high and mighty local rags on the immorality displayed but FSU/ the state and the legal system. NC over morals.
And we lambast/suspend/fine Flood for asking a TA for extracurricular work to pass a dance class :eek:
 
lawyers typically get 1/3 plus fees. so, she should take home $600k tax free. i have to believe that article is incorrect.

Its true, due to Florida's statutes on plaintiff's attorney fees on settlement of civil cases.

Don't know but since a federal statute is involved it may provide as it does in other federal rights cases that the prevailing paintiff recovers for the damages suffered and the prevailing plaintiff's attorneys then apply for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred which the court then awards. The settlement could have taken this into account thus explaining 700k for her lawyers.
 
lawyer gets the money because gov't wants to encourage claimants to come forward. it's the same for discrimination cases, whistleblower cases, consumer fraud, etc.

in other words, the money was never hers. she got $250k and the attorney gets reimbursed for all fees.
 
BTW - her attorneys today stated the numbers are wrong and they did not get $750. The would not state what they got which makes you believe it's close to what is stated.

Or it could be confidential. Also, probably dont want to be publicizing that your client got a boatload of money. People could come after her.

It's not confidential. The lawyers disputed their take not the total payout.

They're probably playing with semantics. Technically, they probable didn't receive $750k for their fees. The probably received something like $650k for their fees and $100k for expenses.

I was taken advantage of once - chubby girl on cook campus had her way with me after a few brews. I didn't get $250k, all I got was chocolate chip pancakes the next morning.

I heard your story a little different. She was with 2 other girls and you tried picking anyone of them up, so you sent 2 of the girls drinks, and the chubby one a ham sandwich.Chubby one it is.

Not really. Multiple officers took her story at different points. Some of the discrepancy is a result of them recording it differently. Her basic story was the same.

The much bigger issue was most of the cops, Chief of Police, State's Attorney were all alums or boosters. The had major political types, and UF fans, pushing for a no bill.

Why was a major power player and Winston fan on the podium of a law enforcement press conference. Why were he and the State's attorney laughing about a rape accusation?

The biggest problem is that the police screwed up the investigation, and let critical evidence get away. Chris Casher recorded the event on his cell phone, but deleted it a few days later. They also didn't procure the security film from the bar, and it was eventually erased. Plus, they didn't interview any witnesses until the story broke.

Sounds a lot like Wisc. police investigations here. Cover up in his favor from the start
The police couldn't possibly be this incompetent.
