Today at 3:00, Steve will be holding a press conference regarding the criminal investigation involving Tyreek Hill and Crystal Espinal. This will be held in our 4th floor conference room.
Exactly. If that bad of a crime occurred you keep leaning on the suspects until you get one to talk and digging for facts until you get to the bottom of it. No self-respecting cop I know would give up that easy especially when it comes to child abuse. [Reply]

Like it or not no charges, if they really believed they had a case you dont quit investigating. You keep digging gathering information till you have something to charge on. Like it or not they are innocent till proven guilty. As detestable as child abuse is its not worth turning the rule of law upside down and go back to the days of frontier justice.
Sure, it was a very public case of a very public individual. But, there should have been a press release of a will not be prosecuted letter. A press conference was designed to convict him in the court of public opinion and or promote the DA's political ambitions. [Reply]

I think you've been watching too much CSI. [Reply]
Also, what if it was a matter of a passionate mistake?
Like, maybe you aren't abusive, but maybe your kid is acting up and misbehaving and you grab his arm to reprimand him and he pulls and twists while you pull.... and snap.
You and your spouse know in your heart of hearts that it was truly not intended to be malicious and that you love your child more than anything. Even though you both know you fucked up in college and have worked through your issues, publicly and privately. You've rebuilt your life from ashes.
And then, the in-laws, who you have a terrible relationship with, catch wind and call the cops.

That question continues to be answered by the Chiefs organization on a daily basis. The things is, they got burned in the Hunt situation, and as a result they seem to be paralyzed in this one. I suspect they’d be relieved in a way if the NFL stepped in and took it out of their hands. [Reply]

Nobody wants to win a Super Bowl more than I do.
We'd better draft 2 WR tomorrow.
Agreed...
The way they decide to build the roster will be fascinating now that Hill is likely not in the long term plans. I know that Pat can get the most out of any WR, but I never want to enter a season feeling like we haven’t given him enough help around him. That’s the #1 priority every year for me. Have a solid OL and a few weapons so that the offense can remain a top 5-ish unit.
I doubt we ever see him throw for 50 and 5K again to be honest. Whether it be because they never have weapons like that again, or simply because the need for points isn’t quite as high due to having a competent defense unlike in 2018.
Their best bet to win multiple Super Bowls is probably to build a strong defense that can carry its own weight year after year, even if it means an offense that drops down a bit from 2018. [Reply]

What happens when she gains custody of the kids? You missed your opportunity to build evidence against her. [Reply]
