@BwasGoat44 You seem to genuinely not understand the differences here.
Austin never threatened Karmelo’s life, verbally nor physically. So lethal force was unreasonable. That’s murder.
The guy verbally threatened the homeowners life, making lethal force legally reasonable and not murder.
@BwasGoat44@jason_howerton Karmelo provoked Austin while armed. He then met non-lethal force with lethal force -> guilty of murder.
The homeowner provoked the man. The man then threatened to kill the homeowner while reaching for the gun. Homeowner was acquitted because his self defense claim held water.
@Beardasaurus1@_CATNERD2@tStocktonTTU They got a notification that he had tried to access a betting account in his name, interviewed him about it (he lied and said he hadn’t been able to access it and didn’t bet), and then he proceeded to bet $60K on accounts belonging to other people to avoid monitoring from Cincy.
@tStocktonTTU Did you actually read what your own screenshot says? It clearly states that they were unaware of any impermissible activity.
The alert was for attempting to access PrizePicks, not for actually betting, and Sorsby lied and told administrators that he had not placed any bets.
@Kelly_K_9@realdanihgh That alert was a notice from ProhiBet indicating that it had successfully blocked Sorsby from placing bets.
He proceeded to gamble $60K through other peoples’ accounts in order to avoid being detected again. Cincy stated in court docs that they only received that initial alert.
@Kelly_K_9 Lying about what Cincy knew really doesn’t help your case.
It’s been shown in court that Cincy was unaware of Sorsby’s gambling activity due to him circumventing detection and monitoring by use other peoples’ accounts (which constitutes committing several actual crimes).
@jdlewallen@DanIsett You really should read a bit before being so condescending.
NCAA bylaws are not conference bylaws. Conference bylaws regarding sanctions do not require any consideration of mitigating circumstances and are rather broad
Both Tech and Sorsby can be punished, just not by the NCAA
@SlySch@MotherToLucy@DanIsett Cincinatti was unaware of his gambling activity and was only ever informed of a successfully blocked attempt by Sorsby to access a betting site, per court docs.
Sorsby proceeded to circumvent that system by betting $60,000 through accounts that were not in his name.
@christianhelms_ The two-game suspension was given by the court, not the NCAA.
The NCAA declared him ineligible indefinitely - the court gave an injunction preventing the enforcement of the NCAA’s ruling prior to a court date in February 2027.
NCAA has been pretty consistent about it.
@MonsieurTango@THEKingBuckeye The bylaws of the conference provide the ability to sanction members for a broad range of reasons, including insubordination to the NCAA
The points seem irrelevant - the bylaws don’t require consideration of mitigating circumstances, and the Big12 doesn’t have gambling sponsors
@whitlockssafety@DavidCa83706391@bmarcello The injunction prevents the NCAA from punishing Sorsby, Tech or its affiliates. Nothing more.
It does not protect Sorsby or Tech from sanctions from other parties, and the bylaws of the conference provide other members of the conference pretty broad sanction capabilities.
@RPTexan Unless the NCAA can win an interlocutory appeal, the courts are going to slow play this until after the season is over, at which point what the courts say simply won’t matter.
@Jerzey_18@GamblinGauchos Almost all of his gambling was while he was at UC - no proof he bet on his own team like at Indiana, but he did bet on other UC sports and various professional sports to the tune of $90K.
@JRoseTTU@UT4x_champs A player that bet $10K was removed from the team after admitting to an addiction, being of legal age to gamble, and doing it on his own accounts.
Sorsby bet $90K and is expected to play despite having committed several potential crimes to hide that the fact he was gambling.
@donatpov@SarahisCensored@sippicup2 His high school football team appears to have listed him at 160 lbs every year since 2023.
I’m going to guess that the police never actually put him on a scale. Maybe his license said 130 lbs?
@simonhancock_uk@MalteLandwehr@femalepencil Depends on where you were at and whether or not you paid for it - several countries didn’t commonly have unlimited texting until early 2010’s.
@BwasGoat44@jason_howerton If Karmelo had produced the knife and then Hunter had lunged at him while verbally threatening to take it and kill Karmelo with it, then Karmelo may have also gotten off.
Castle doctrine and the actual details of the events explain why they had different results.
