october is hardly the end of the year. It sounds like the prosecutors may be the ones delaying it.Hmmmm....sounds like they are aiming to delay this thing through the football season. I wouldn’t be mad at all if so. It would allow him to play this season if the worst case happens and we lose him. But I still think he’s going no where. Players with his skill sets seem to find ways to play. He will be a Husker till his a senior. GBR
Doesn’t he have a right to a speedy trial? Or have we totally forgot about the constitution? Ok most politicians actually have forgot about it.

not this article. Prosecutors are in no hurry to take this to trial. They're waiting to see if he screws up. When the public sees what appears to be an open and shut case that prosecutors delay on it's almost always in hope the defendants provide them more evidence. He's not a flight risk or risk to the public so there's no rush to get him off the streets. Sometimes its the defense buying more time but I think in this case Washington would be most interested in getting a quick plea deal and have it over with.Based on what? Not this article.
"Speedy" is a pretty relative term when it comes to the judicial system.Doesn’t he have a right to a speedy trial? Or have we totally forgot about the constitution? Ok most politicians actually have forgot about it.
It would be interesting to see the filings on the case to see who requested the delay. I don't see how delaying it helps Washington at all unless they could get another delay later to take it past football season."Speedy" is a pretty relative term when it comes to the judicial system.

I have already proven & made an ass of myself knowing absolutely nothing about how these proceedings generally go, what any of this legal mumbo jumbo means or what we can expect moving forward
that said, here's hoping there's no more need for Mo to miss game time due to this or any other transgressions in 2019 and beyond
You really cant think the prosecutors are dragging this out in hopes they get more evidence against him?not this article. Prosecutors are in no hurry to take this to trial.

Guilty until proven innocent then huh?I think Frost should have insisted that Washington Redshirt this year.
Frost made a bold statement before he every coached a game @ Nebraska and I think he needed to back it up his fall. It should not matter if you are a star runback or a walk on linebacker.
Missing the first half aof a game is a punishment for being late to a team
“And I’ll tell you this right now — if there’s anything negative about women, if there’s anything racial or about sexuality, if there’s anything about guns or anything like that, we’re just not going to recruit you, period,” Frost said in July 2018. “Piece of advice for you — what you put on social media, that’s your résumé to the world. That’s what you’re trying to tell the world you’re all about. That’s how you’re advertising yourself. Be smart with that stuff.”

I tend to agree that there appears to be a double standard However he clearly states in that quote that this was for recruits. None of this was known, allegedly, to frost prior to Washington being enrolled at Nebraska. Once a player becomes a part of your team, the rules about not recruiting him are somewhat irrelevant.I think Frost should have insisted that Washington Redshirt this year.

I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing SF knows just a little bit more about this situation, as well as his own program, than Iowa fans do. JMOI think Frost should have insisted that Washington Redshirt this year.

Yeah, I remember on Perry Mason the murder was on Thursday, the hearing was on Monday, the trial was on Wednesday and by Friday Perry got someone no one suspected to cop to the crime. I guess those days are long gone.Doesn’t he have a right to a speedy trial? Or have we totally forgot about the constitution? Ok most politicians actually have forgot about it.
Where have there already been 4 delays by his counsel out there?Again based on what? The 4 delays by the defense?
Thanks for your input. Glad you are so interested.I think Frost should have insisted that Washington Redshirt this year.

I'll state that I think he should have been suspended for the full game, however he's already been punished and Frost said that's all there will be until the case is adjudicated. The courts will take their time to do what they need, I don't see any reason why the coaches have to follow their timeline or any reason why this would put Nebraska under a worse light than it already is from this situation.I tend to agree that there appears to be a double standard However he clearly states in that quote that this was for recruits.

With that said, I do not like the statement that This makes. If Washington is convicted or pleads guilty to a lesser crime, It puts Nebraska in a bad light because he played in games with charges pending

My brother was a prosecutor for most of 40 years. One of my best friends for about 10 years and drinking buddy was a criminal defense attorney. I know how the game is played. The "wanting to talk to Washington on the phone" was clearly an attempt to gather more incriminating evidence. IF they would have had all they wanted or needed they would have just gotten an arrest warrant and charged him. In Washington's case as far as has been revealed the prosecutors don't have anything more than the stepmom and girl's word that the video was sent. They know that there was a communication from his phone but they supposedly initially deleted it so there's no physical evidence that he sent that specific video. Why should they hurry to prosecute him? Other than a PR goodie for the local prosecutor, this is small potatos for the court system. It's not like they found dozens of videos of under aged kids on his phone. ADD: I don't know for sure who asked for the delay. The defense could try to get multiple delays to get him past the football season but everything we've been led to believe is that they're trying to get this resolved as soon as possible. As far as the defense asking for "4 delays" as Tuco asserted, this is the first "delay" that I've seen. Everything else has proceeded in a normal manner as far as I can tell.You really cant think the prosecutors are dragging this out in hopes they get more evidence against him?

Bruning no doubt drug his feet but that wasn't a court delay. At that point Washington hadn't been charged. Dragging his feet might have worked if not for a new prosecutor taking office. Then it takes time for the courts to appoint a defender which is normal and not a stalling tactic. Then the public defender needs time to do discovery. That's all pretty normal.February and March when he was still being represented by the Nebraska attorney and they thought this was no big deal and it would blow over May when they finally got a public defender, June when the PD said he needed more time for discovery. Not sure who delayed this one, but I don’t believe it is that big of a stretch to think it was the defense.

Has been all along.october is hardly the end of the year. It sounds like the prosecutors may be the ones delaying it.
So where's the "4 delays" the defense had already asked for that your referenced? I don't see any other than a request for a routine request for a newly appointed public defender to do discovery. Do you understand how the courts work? As I said, I don't know for sure who asked for THIS delay. You may be right. It might be the defense. It might have been mutual to try to negotiate a plead deal. In this case though, a public defender delaying just to delay does not seem logical or beneficial for his client unless he can hoodwink the judge in to delaying it until after the first of the year. On the other hand, I've seen local cases where the prosecutor delayed trials in hopes of being able to gather more evidence to use at trial.But none of that stuff equals what you wrote in the post that I replied to
