Vandy rape case declared mistrial

    The Vanderbilt rape case has been declared a mistrial. The case was thrown out because the jury foreman did not admit that he was once the victim of a sexual assault. Corey Batey and Brandon Vandenburg had both been accused of crimes of aggravated rape and sexual battery, and were found guilty five months ago on five counts of the former and two counts of the latter. According to CBS, both players had been waiting sentencing before the revelations took place, which might mean that they avoid decades of jail-time. The trial, CBS noted, “featured graphic video and photographic evidence showing the unconscious female student being violated in the dorm room“, accusing the players of owning that footage.

Removing the Confederate Flag won’t rob the SEC of racism

In South Carolina last week, the world was appalled when a Dylann Roof walked into Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston and shot it up, killing nine people.

Immediately the debate wasn’t about how this kid became more and more enraged at black people, it became about guns and more’s the case, the Confederate Flag. The flag, which still flies high at the State Capital in Charleston, is a symbol of racism for many people, yet the State government has refused to do anything about it (well, they just passed a vote that they will TALK about it at least). The flag is

Alabama RB ruled ineligible

Freshman Alabama running back DeSherrius Flowers has been ruled ineligble and will not enroll in Tuscaloosa in the fall, the school has said.
