Anyone see this - charges dismissed against Joseph
- Thread starter Chief Wiggum
- Start date
After all that he lost his job at NU. Lame.
"...moved to dismiss the case because the victim indicated she would not testify in the case."
Can't pay child support and alimony without a job.
Maybe at CU, I wouldn't put it past Prime to stick it to Nebraska every chance he gets.
She should have thought about that much earlier. The damage has been done.
The whole thing ruined lives and careers. MJ was on top of the world. He could have been WR coach at NU. Or Head Coach at Tulsa. Sad.
Just saw this. I can't say I looked into this enough to know everything, but what a wild series of events. Whatever he did or didn't do I hope if he needs help he gets it.
Also just wait till all the people who wanted his head to roll now want him. Spoiler alert, the ship, for better or worse, has sailed. (Unless he somehow becomes an analyst or something for us).

Remember, the charges being dismissed doesn't mean he did it or didn't do it. It's just that there is no one to testify in this case so they basically had to dismiss the charges. Sounds like the Chris Beard situation at Texas. You have to let him go.
thought about what? If she was actually assaulted, you're saying she should have quickly thought, in the hysteria, "wait, I don't want to call anyone or say anything because he might not be able to pay support I want." makes sense.
She moved to somewhere in Arizona and they couldn't find her to give her a summons to appear.
I remember when you were innocent until proven otherwise.
I have no idea if he did or didn’t assault his wife.
But today they just ruin your life first, then dismiss it altogether

According to this article, she emailed the prosecutor and said that she wouldn't testify.

Kind of a quiet way to end this saga. Wow. I wish MJ and his family the best.
Mickey still strangled her. I’m glad he’s not representing NU.
Good for him. Hope he is wise enough to get rid of her and never go near that person again.
Think it'd be best for both!
Yes, she notified the prosecutor that she wouldn't testify, so they issued an out-of-state subpoena to compel her testimony but they were unable to find her to deliver the summons (starting at :30 in the video).
I posted when he was charged that it would either be pled down or dismissed.
She didn't want to, the prosecutor was not going to compel her to, and Joseph has suffered financial and reputational harm. It's pretty clear from the accounts that she was physically assaulted. So even though he won't face a trial on this thing, he did pay a rather steep price for his actions.
Choices matter in life
So do optics
He has nobody to blame but himself
Maybe go back to coaching high school where the pressure is nil

Not so. The prosecutor WAS going to compel her to testify but could not get service on her to force her to appear for the trial.
I was a prosecutor for many years. This is how way too many of these cases turn out. The victim is afraid of becoming financially destitute, and the perp has by now apologized numerous times, bought her flowers and swore it would never happen again (but it will).
In domestic assault cases, I always made sure my cops tape recorded the victim's statement as close to the event occurring as possible. Then when she inevitably starts to backtrack, she is on tape. Further, I not only had them take pictures of the injuries at the time they occurred, I had my officers go back the next day to re-photograph those injuries. Why? The bruises rise and get darker overnight. It's a better record for trial.
It is more common for victims to back out like this than to follow through. When I subpoenaed victims, they were mad at me, not the scum that beat them up. They would be hostile, but if confronted with their recorded statement and the photos of the injuries, they had to admit the assault occurred.
This is the choice the victim has made; and yes, very common.
Both have paid a high price; hope they both are receiving help to get back on track.
Noone but them know the whole story. He absolutely shouldn't have strangled her but,......... women do know how to instigate and a lot of times start the physical altercation.
And when that happens, the guy is supposed to walk away, maybe get in a vehicle, and leave. Not try to choke her out.
His name is Deion Sanders. Phuk the prime bullshit.Maybe at CU, I wouldn't put it past Prime to stick it to Nebraska every chance he gets.

She found out the gravy train was gonna run out. At least 93.7 will probably put him on the radio. They have a tendency to do that with woman beating x-coaches.
