So as an attorney, I want to make sure I understand his argument: if the victim of sexual assault is intoxicated to the point of being unconscious and unable to recollect what happened, then there is no harm but for post hoc harm, and if there is no video of the incident, there is, in fact, no harm at all.

That sound about right? How is that distinguishable from, oh, I don't know... date rape?

My thoughts exactly!

No, your client has been watched in action by millions of people across the country (or world) thanks to YouTube (and the idiot Bama fan who thought it was funny enough to film and proud to put it on the 'net).

As for his job: If he feels he has a grievance, let him take it up with Hibbet's personnel/management and/or lawyers...it has zero to do with the criminal charges in NOLA.

Maybe Dick's sporting goods will hire him....seems like a better fit, lol.

So, was it your client who proclaimed " This dude's life is over! " prior or during the act of sack dragging on the face of a passed out LSU fan, while in public, and on video ?

Or was that just one of several guys in the crowd, who also went for their zippers, but stopped short of committing the act which has your client in trouble now?
