2. Why the heck is the professor calling the athletic department if he has a student fear for her safety, even if it IS a football player? After all that's transpired, he should have called the police first, unless the DA IS, in fact, a moron/incompetent/bought.
1) The McLennen County DA's Office was the only institution in Waco that actually pushed forward with investigations and prosecutions of rape cases involving BU Football players. While they might not have handled everything "perfect," they are sole the reason Sam Ukwuachu got convicted and the reason that Tevin Elliott is in prison. In particular, their exposure of BU's "investigation" during the Ukuachu case was critical to exposing BU's Title IX issues.
I do, however, agree with you that they mismanaged the biker incident. You can't throw everyone in jail (without bail) and hope to sort it out later.
2) I fail to see how the DA is responsible for the professor's decision to call the athletic department instead of the police.
More importantly, the McLennen County DA is not in the Nuthouse/"Rehab" like the Dallas County DA. What a disgrace.
