There were rumblings about this in Lubbock before the hire. I think most were just hoping that it was exaggerated.
Why can’t we have nice things? Not good news but let the facts come out. There’s going to be all kind of false/incorrect stuff coming out for the next 24 hours. The MSM and social media suck at this kind of stuff.
Things like no arrests but lots of concerns. Lubbock probably handles these kinds of things differently...
It could be one of those "get a year suspension to go to rehab and get my life in order" situations. But I wouldn't put money on it.
We have to be consistent. How have we handled players in similar situations. Of course, we weren't there... blah blah blah But if true this is an incredible display of tunnel vision and an inability to manage one's emotions. You can't have that. Not from a leader. Not from a follower. And during the Christmas season? And while recruiting such great players? And while doing so well on the court? What could have been said that would cause such a thing. Thoughts and prayers for the victim. Alleged?
Literally came here to say this. As soon as I saw the headline I knew, the dream is finished. Is Texas cursed? I hear Jay Wright is available...
Beard, Christopher Michael - Age 49 Booking Information Booking Number 2224803 Booked 12/12/2022 at 4:18 AM Arresting Agency Austin Police Dept Offense Number A223460013 Facility Central Booking Charges (1) ASSAULT ON FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD MEMBER IMPEDE BREATH CIRCULATION Felony, 3rd Degree Cause Number
Beard is done unless the charge is an overreaction to the actual situation (for example, holding someone to prevent injury to themselves or others). Here is one example: Pittsburgh Man Acquitted of Manslaughter In the Death of Deloitte Consultant
Career ender. Innocent until proven guilty, but felony charges are not filed without substantial evidence. Too bad I always liked him.
He could possibly beat the criminal charge if the victim refuses to cooperate but I highly doubt he survives an internal investigation. Reports, photos and 911 calls will be subject to open record.
I believe the county can and will prosecute in a domestic, even without cooperation from the victim/witness.
GAWT DAMMIT!!! The man's bio says he has three daughters and is engaged. That leads one to believe the complaintant is a female, although it could be someone else. If in fact it is a female, I don't see any way he keeps his job. DAMN! How stupid...
