From what I'm hearing, Janoris Jenkins' charges are going to be dropped sometime this week by the State Attorney himself, who has made himself unavailable for comment.

What I want to know, is how can somebody:

A. Commit Assault on another person in front of a police officer.
B. Be Tasered by the police officer for doing so.
C. Resist Arrest
D. Be arrested for committed crimes.
E. Then charges be dropped by the State Attorney who refuses to comment on the situation.

Just tell me, how is this normal? I find it oh so unlikely that I'd get the same treatment if I committed the exact same crimes under the exact same circumstances as Jenkins did.

You can't say there is a lack of evidence, there were several witnesses including the police and the person he assaulted.

I just want to know Gator fans, do you honestly believe there is no blatant favoritism going on? Do you think you and I would get the same treatment as these Football players? If I were to commit the same crime, I'd end up in jail for almost a year.

This isn't even much of an issue of favoritism, but safety. With charges being dropped or dismissed for these players who have committed felonies, what does that say about your State Attorney and District Attorneys? They clearly don't have the safety of the public in mind when dismissing and dropping these charges so consistently for football players. I for one would be appalled to find out that this many felons are being let go without even a mere slap on the wrist half of the time.

This post isn't an attack against UF, I'm just curious... what is the Gator fans opinions on this issue?
