Accuser's lawyer in Jameis Winston case to hold news conference the day before the Heisman Ceremony:

Accuser's lawyer in Jameis Winston case to hold news conference

The family of the woman who accused Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston of sexual battery will make a statement, through counsel, at a press conference Friday to address the State Attorney's report on the investigation, the accuser's attorney Patricia Carroll said Tuesday.

The press conference will occur one day before Winston is expected to win the Heisman Trophy.

State Attorney William Meggs determined last week there was not enough evidence to pursue charges against Winston. That decision closed the case after it surfaced publicly last month.

The original complaint was filed last December but was made inactive in February.

Gonna be interesting.
I hope she fries Meggs and Winston's attorney Nelson for their glib attitude at the press conference announcing no charges would be forthcoming.

Nelson used many phrases to call the accuser a liar. However, Meggs never said Winston was innocent. He said that in his view there wasn't enough evidence to bring charges. That's a huge difference.

during the time it was clear that Winston was the frontrunner for the Heisman.

However, the police conduct began well before he had even played a down as quarterback. People knew he was good, but he got cover there because he was an FSU FB player IMO.
