First and foremost, assuming this backtracking is legit and isn't out of love for someone whose financial standing is more likely to behoove her if he doesn't spend the next decade behind bars, I'm glad that it's starting to sound like Reuben Foster isn't guilty of brutally beating the crap out of anyone other than an opposing running backs. The original report of 8-10 punches thrown by the most physically menacing of men to the side of the head of a young woman is some psycho shit, so it all being made up - while incredibly damaging to a young man's reputation regardless - is definitely good news relative to the alternative. Given the book on him coming out Alabama, I'm probably not the only one, but I definitely owe the kid an apology for assuming the worst as opposed to hoping for best. So, I guess my only question is, where do things go from here? Not to rub salt in the wounds she obtained coming out on the ass end of a girl fight, but shouldn't there be some sort of legal action taken against Reuben Foster's accuser? Considering she kinda, sorta put the entirety of his playing career in jeopardy, as well as forever tarnished his already questionable character, I can't help but feel like admittedly falsifying a report of something as serious as domestic abuse should carry some sort of consequences. After all, her decision to go back on her word isn't necessarily out of the kindness of her heart. Providing visual evidence of his innocence is really just an admittance that she knew there was visual evidence out there of her guilt. The retrospective watching of one's own ass, after sticking someone else's to the fire, doesn't exactly lead me to believe we're dealing with a 28 year old that's coming clean on a mistake made in the throes of passion. I'm not a legal expert, but can't we swing the blatant use of the justice system to manipulate an innocent party into a 30-60 day sentence? If not because the presumed level of crazy needs caging then because setting a strong precedent is the quickest way to cut down on bullshit allegations that could change people's lives forever.
