Speaking of which, I do recall Peter "it's not like he shot the President" Warrick getting suspended for shop lifting clothes.
But Sir Winston Jameis, Lord of Tallahassee, apparently IS above the law. Nothing happened for those crab legs he stole. I guess even Bobby did better than Jimbo?
Although I think Bobby's hand was forced because Warrick's offense was technically a felony. Perhaps Winston's was not, or the store and state just didn't press charges.
He's in Tallahasee as a heisman winning QB. No one will touch him. Remember the alleged rape case? This is a list of things that the police botched (some would say intentionally)
From salon.com:
Police did not retrieve surveillance footage from the bar where Winston was last seen with his accuser and other witnesses before the alleged incident; by the time the prosecutor's office got around to it - 11 months later - the tapes had been erased
Police did not contact another football player who took video of the sexual encounter, video that was later deleted
Police waited two weeks to contact Winston - by phone - and did not pursue the matter further when Winston declined to be interviewed
Police did not obtain DNA samples from Winston because Winston said doing so would "create publicity"
Police warned the woman's attorney that her life would be "made miserable" if she followed through with charges against Winston because, "Tallahassee was a big football town"
The case did not go to the prosecutor's office until nearly a year after the incident, by which time most of the evidence in the case had been destroyed
