Charges against Purifoy dropped

[stjohnsgator]

Per Robbie Andreu. I kinda figured that would happen. Dunker case still being looked at.

too bad the state attorney doesn't do anything about these questionable arrests

[samit23]

The arrests are not questionable. The officer is working under a probable cause standard. The prosecutor is looking at likelihood of success at trial. These are 2 different things, The system works best when cops do cop jobs and lawyers do lawyer jobs. This was absolutely the right result.

Where is everyone who had him suspended, demoted, worried about who would play CB, ST's and our freshman having to pick up the slack at WR.

Our ready, shoot, aim fanbase is ridiculous.

Thank Goodness!

It was the right result, because Purifoy had committed no crime and the arrest report made that clear. The officer had no probable cause to arrest him for anything, and shouldn't have done so.

being in the back seat of a car with weed that is in the front seat is probably cause?


I assume this scrolling across the bottom of espn to clear his name right?

Thank you Huntley (as always you're a true hero to the Gator Nation)

[Jaggator]

So does this mean he has to live with a police record where it asks sometimes on a job application have you ever been arrested?

Is it removed from the record if charges are dropped?

At this point, Huntley should be in the Ring of Honor.

Read the report. Weed in plain sight, joint being tossed out window, weed on clothes, car smelled of weed smoke. The officer clearly had PC to stop the car and arrest all occupants.

If you don't think this is PC then you simply don't understand the legal concept. Plus, you don't understand the law of constructive possession in Florida (which ultimately led to the dropping of the charge for 1 reason - but its not PC). You would get bounced out of every court in America if you argued lack of PC.

No. He would have to undertake an entirely different process to get the record sealed or expunged. Plus he may not be eligible. Just b/c the State Attorney doesn't file a formal charge doesn't mean the arrest goes away.

While it is good for the player and program that the charges were dropped, it is clear that #15 was in the car, knew what was going on, and was likely participating. I don't think Muschamp is going to care too much when it comes to punishment. #15 needs to get his head out of his a**.

I've never seen a job application that asks if you've been arrested. It usually asked if you've been convicted of a crime.

Yes he should...and it might be interesting to note that the attorney filling the same role as Huntley Johnson in Tallahassee is a Gator! No wonder nothing seems to stick to those criminoles!

Loucheiz Purifoy's middle name is Deouncelonte. Say what?
