I know for a fact that Oden drinks a lot. What I'm questioning is some reporter getting on the radio and claiming that he witnessed some things last season when Oden played for the Heat. If he really witnessed things when didn't he report them? There was a ton of speculation why Oden wasn't playing much last season. Why didn't this reporter speak up then?
Yeah that reporter is guilty. If you are witness to abuse and not tell, you are just as guilty as the dude or woman that abused
You think parents should be able to decide if they prosecute when a 45 yr old has sex with a 12 yr old . . . and I'm the one that is crazy. But let me explain to see if you follow this. You think a victim's parent should decide if someone should be prosecuted in rape case. How about when the victim is not a kid, but is an adult in assault case. Should they be able to decide to prosecute. Following your logic I would think the answer would be yes which is why I asked. Follow? In fact it seems more palatable in a DV situation that a victim decide vs your situation where parents decide on a rape case. But either case, it's the prosecutor's decision and it should be.
Oden charged with a felony. What an asshole. Some people saw right through his act years ago; others still make excuses. I'm going out on a limb and guessing this isn't the first time he laid hands on her, either. http://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2014/08/11/greg-oden-now-faces-felony-charge/13906321/
The victim's Twitter account is being posted on Reddit, but I won't post it here. Interesting reading, though. I will say she is the niece of a former NBA player from Portland, too, which will be obvious if the above article is read.
I think parents should decide if there's a close age difference, not if it's a 45 year old and 12 year old. All I ever said is the law as written allows for a simple burden of proof: "she was underage." Period.
Poor Greggers. He accidentally punched her in the face three times. Court filing at link. http://www.wthr.com/story/26249847/2014/08/11/greg-oden-faces-felony-charge-in-battery-arrest
SlyPokerDog being his usual dick self. He seems to be getting way to much self-satisfaction out of changing people's posts. BNM
I'm not the one beating the shit out of women. You have weird priorities, dude. It appears you're more upset at me than the guy who put his girlfriend in the hospital. Very odd post.
Gregger's initial excuse to police was that he was being held back by his mom and a friend, and that as he was trying to break free one of his arms hit his girlfriend in the face on accident. I don't believe for a second this is the first time this piece of shit has hit a woman.
I love how I'm a "dick" for posting a legitimate update on a thread with 130+ posts. Greg Oden is not a good person. I hope he learns his lesson in prison and doesn't harm any more women in his life.
Oden will quickly work out a plea deal with the DA. He'll plea to a couple of misdemeanors, be sentenced to community service and fine and get everything done quickly so there will be legal problems hanging over his head by training camp.
I'm not sure. He's no Ray Rice, and the victim has packed up her shit and moved back home. Ray Rice got a deal because his wife wasn't going to cooperate with the police unless diversion was involved.
I'm guessing the try-out with the Clippers a few days before this crime didn't go very well. Had he looked at all decent, the Clips would have signed him.
No prior record. They won't go too hard at him. IMO. Not a lawyer but I get to play judge on an internet basketball forum.
