Anyone who knows me,
knows that I love basketball and that I am also a die hard Bulls fan. So, being a Derrick Rose fan comes with the
territory. I was really sad to see the
Bulls let him go, but with all the dirty little secrets that came out of this
case, I can see why they may have thought unloading Derrick was the best move
for the organization.
Nobody
wins in DoevRose case
Very special thank
you to Julia Marsh from the New York Post for tweeting detailed updates about
the case. Marsh was careful to never
voice an opinion but to state facts as they happened, but also recommended
lawyers to chime in.
People
will walk away from today's verdict declaring that Derrick Rose won. That's not completely true. Derrick Rose and his friends were cleared of
all charges in the rape case, but did Rose really win? His name is cleared, well, not exactly. There will still be the naysayers that say it
was his fame that got him off; taking pictures with the jurors after the case
was over probably didn't' help either 😐. While
this case wasn't as publicized as the Kobe Bryant case, it was surely more
graphic. We learned things about Rose
and his bedroom hobbies that we surely never needed to know. There goes his privacy. The time that he had to spend in court took
away time from his career and his family.
He missed out on training camp, Pre Season games and team bonding
experiences, which are important considering this is his fresh start. I'm sure the Knicks are happy to have this
case behind him and look forward to hearing more about his on the court
activities and less about his bedroom activities. It was also mentioned that he missed his
son's 4th birthday, you can't get time back, another loss, but he can take
advantage of the time ahead of him and make wise choices that won't compromise
his time with him in the future. Rose
and his friends are cleared, but I would hate to see what he paid in lawyer
fees, but he was cleared, so I guess it was money well spent.
The Doe of this
case, was a female from LA whom was in a past relationship with Rose. The defendant's lawyer wanted the jury and
anyone following this case to see her as a scorned lover; a scorned lover
looking for a pay day. The plaintiff's
attorney felt like his client was slut shamed by Rose and his friends as they
told graphic details of their joint
interactions. Looks like Doe lost
a lot more than her $21M pay day today.
Her friend, or shall I say ex friend testified against her and painted
her as a woman who was a liar and was out to get paid. This sounds like more than just one bad
day. Doe's character and credibility was
brought into question several times throughout this trial. One juror stated "I felt like she was
playing us." This will set the tone
for how people view her, potentially for the rest of her life. This trial brought out many things about her
sexual life that I'm sure she wishes she could have kept secret, it really
pollutes the wholesome girl image her attorney described her as. A psychiatrist diagnosed her as having PTSD
and said that she was scarred for life from the traumatic rape encounter. With today's ruling in favor of Derrick Rose,
Doe lost her hopes of becoming $21 million dollars richer, lost friends and
gained PTSD. People will look at her and
always wonder if she really told the truth.
I hope that Rose and
Doe both walk away from this trial and do some soul-searching. Both of them lost because they had their
images tainted and character questioned.
Rose was cleared of charges, but with what he lost in the process, no
one really won today.
