One of the schools star football players is seen punching out a female in a public eatery. After the university president, AD and coaches talked it over, the thug was suspended for as year and then this is where it gets ugly. he was allowed to play in his Junio and Senior year.
Not entirely true Pat. He was arrested, entered an Alford Plea, which allows him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that enough evidence exists for a jury to find him guilty. Mixon was given a one-year deferred sentence, 100 hours of community service and cognitive behavior counseling He did his sentence. Now the girl who racially slurred him several times and then pushed him and then hit him before he hit her back has sued him for damages. We shall see how the trial goes. Here is what his attorney has to say: - Mixon is raising a number of defenses to her remaining claim — intentional infliction of emotional distress. His attorneys assert, for instance, that Molitor "by her conduct contributed in whole or in part to any claimed loss or injuries."
Molitor "repeatedly instigated hostile conversations" with Mixon and his companions outside the cafe's front door, his attorneys wrote in an answer to the lawsuit.
Once inside, Molitor motioned to Mixon to approach her at the table where she was standing and she then "initiated further discussion" with him, his attorneys wrote in the answer filed Tuesday. Mixon overheard Molitor saying he and other black men were trying to jump her outside, the attorneys wrote.
Mixon also heard Molitor "and/or" members of her party use racial slurs in referring to him, his attorneys wrote.
Mixon "states he turned and attempted to leave the discussion and restaurant, but ... just as he did so, plaintiff lunged toward him and shoved him in the chest," his attorneys wrote.
Mixon "states that he then made an aggressive gesture toward Plaintiff in response and verbally warned her to leave him alone."
He states that she then placed her left hand on his chest and, with her right hand, struck him in the face, the attorneys wrote.
You might want to know that her attorneys have had the tapes for some time and did not want them released to the public even wanting to argue to a Cleveland County judge that the video of the punch should not be released. The above is from the local paper. The only decision made by the University was to allow him to play after he had served his sentence and to make sure he toes the line while still attending school. What is wrong with allowing a young man to play football after he had paid the price given to him by a judge? He will have a record for the rest of his life.
OK, that's what his attorney says. I watched the video of him entering and heading straight for her table. And then.he saying something to the guy she was in a conversation with. What he said appeared to cause the girl to react.
Yes, she initiated contact. She pushed him and then hit him. Which is why the girl's attorney did not want the video to become public. I am not excusing what he did. I do not believe in hitting women in general. It is just that you defamed the University and I wanted to fix that. Not that OU is my favorite since I am a OSU fan.
I think a jury would be advised that there would have been no assault had the player stayed away from the victim. I initiated the contact by his butting into the conversation between the girl and the other guy. I agree he has received some punishment, although I thought jail time was appropriate for a serious assault such as I witnessed. My guess is he settles for a sizable chunk of change rather than risk a trial.
Or the jury could be advised that she had no reason to assault him after throwing racial slurs at him. Again, my point was that you said the University let him off. The University did nothing of the kind. He is not a rich person Pat. No sizable amount of money going that route. She tried suing the restaurant but as I remember that was thrown out. One viewing of the video will render most jurors to uncontrollable laughter, when they see the strapping football player being beaten by the girl.

No, I wasn't there. I can only report what has been in the paper here. BTW - The coverage at first was very much against him because all people were hearing was her side of the story. Her lawyers wanted to keep it that way hence them not wanting this video to become public.

Assault is assault no matter who is doing it. She started it. That is a fact.
