The attorney for the woman who accused Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston of rape said her client plans to file a civil lawsuit against the Heisman Trophy winner, the Tallahassee Police Department and possibly Florida State University.
Pat Carroll, representing the woman who claims Winston raped her in December 2012, told ABC News: “I want heads to roll.”
In December, Florida state attorney Willie Meggsdeclined to pursue sexual assault charges against the Seminoles quarterback, citing a lack of evidence and gaps in the accuser’s story.
Carroll said the Tallahassee Police Department’s negligent handling her client’s case led to Meggs’ decision to not pursue charges.“Absolutely you’re going to see a civil suit,” Carroll said. “You can not have law enforcement that is not held accountable.”BURKE: Jameis Winston and other 2014 NFL Draft prospects
Carroll said, “The family is proceeding, with civil action against the TPD and Jameis Winston. And possibly the university.”
Tallahassee Police Chief Tom Coe said in December that his department “took the case seriously, processed evidence and conducted an investigation based on information available at that time.”
Winston led Florida State to a last-minute 34-31 win over Auburn in the BCS national championship game Monday night.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...s-winston.htmlIn his announcement, the prosecutor, William N. Meggs, acknowledged a number of shortcomings in the police investigation. In fact, an examination by The New York Times has found that there was virtually no investigation at all, either by the police or the university.
The police did not follow the obvious leads that would have quickly identified the suspect as well as witnesses, one of whom videotaped part of the sexual encounter. After the accuser identified Mr. Winston as her assailant, the police did not even attempt to interview him for nearly two weeks and never obtained his DNA.
The detective handling the case waited two months to write his first report and then prematurely suspended his inquiry without informing the accuser. By the time the prosecutor got the case, important evidence had disappeared, including the video of the sexual act.
“They just missed all the basic fundamental stuff that you are supposed to do,” Mr. Meggs said in a recent interview. Even so, he cautioned, a better investigation might have yielded the same result.
The case has unfolded as colleges and universities across the country are facing rising criticism over how they deal with sexual assault, as well as questions about whether athletes sometimes receive preferential treatment. The Times’s examination — based on police and university records, as well as interviews with people close to the case, including lawyers and sexual assault experts — found that, in the Winston case, Florida State did little to determine what had happened.

What's the fiirst word that comes to your mind when you hear a story like that?
Forgot to snatch the butter--probably the most integral part of any crab cooking or crustacean devouring...
Is anyone actually surprised, tbh? lol He's obviously a crap human being who feels like he can get away with anything since he already got away with rape.
How long until ESPN spins the story and makes Winston the victim?
"He had to steal crab legs to eat!"
"This is proof that the NCAA needs to pay it's players!"
"Don't forget Sterling!"
"If I get Manziel disease, I want every one of you all to get your mikes and start slapping me on the head," Winston joked.
