Beyond a Reasonable Doubt - Ben Roethlisberger

On March 5, 2010 in the wee hours of the morning a woman called the police and accused two time Super Bowl quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her at the Capital City night club in Milledgeville, GA. Roethlisberger and his alleged victim were apparently very drunk and as she stumbled down to the restroom he followed her in. At that point no one knows what happened. The video tapes showing everything leading up to that point were "accidentally" recorded over and the victim has decided not to press charges and has urged the Milledgeville district attorney not to press charges either

Today it was announced that the Milledgeville district attorney would not be pressing charges. I just find it hilarious what D.A. Fred Bright said in his press statement concerning "Big Ben's" guilt. Here are some quotes
I have nothing against Big Ben. I met him about a year ago at the hotel I worked at in Ohio. He stayed with us for a couple nights. Nice guy, didn't cause any problems, treated the staff well. Just seems like this might not be the last time we see the two time Super Bowl champ in the news for something that will make Mike Tomlin's head explode.
"We are not condoning Mr. Roethlisberger's actions that night, but we do not prosecute morals. We prosecute crimes"and
"I know when I have a case and I know when I don't, and I do not have enough evidence to convince 12 jurors beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Roethlisberger was guilty of rape."I love how he pretty much just said that Big Ben did something illegal he just couldn't prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt." Like he could convince nine or ten jurors just not all twelve. That was definitely a challenge to Roethlisberger..."Try it again in my town...I'll get you next time."
