Rittenhouse was tried as an adult. That's why the case was on full public view. There's an argument that the case should have been tried in juvenile court (https://jlc.org/news/kyle-rittenhouse-was-minor-prosecuting-him-one-may-have-been-better) Rittenhouse was acquitted.

Our justice system has decided, for better or worse, that juvenile criminal files are closed. And for the most part, expunged when someone turns 18. I happen to think this system does a lot more good than bad, and is the right decision. Students entering the University are under no obligation to rev...

I'll ask again, if JDL was eligible to be tried as an adult with a potential maximum 14-year sentence, then why did the prosecutor offer him a Juvie deal with no time, and the judge signed off on it? Answer is, we'll never know. But it's not the job of a University President nor AD to play judge an...

What level of assault? Is stalking but never escalating to touching OK? What about armed robbery? Someone gets hurt during the attempt, and charges can include attempted murder, even if there was no intent. What if the kid is the getaway driver in an attempted robbery that goes wrong and someone get...

Where do you draw the line between which juvenile offense gets a kid kicked off campus and which doesn't. And who gets to make this determination? Do you think a school really wants to go down that rabbit hole? It's mostly a moot point anyway. Juvenile records are supposed to be sealed. JDL's crimin...

I posted a link before stating 1 in 3 American adults have some sort of juvenile record. Even if college students have lower percentages, with 38,000 plus students on campus, we're talking thousands of students with Juvie records on campus. Most are likely petty and non-violent. But there are some w...

You can argue it's not fair to the victim. And that's a true statement. Nobody should be assaulted like she was. But despite the fact JDL and Latu could've been tried as adults, fact is, they weren't. So either we trust the judicial system that the prosecutor and judge made the right call with the ...

Discussed with my wife and daughter, an incoming UA freshman. You should let them read your posts. Done. They aren't happy. But agree that we don't know the full story. And there must be good reason why the prosecutor and judge signed off on the plea deal. We can only guess. That's because the crim...

More facts. The prosecutor decided a plea deal as a Juvie with no detention time was appropriate punishment. The Judge agreed, and signed off on the plea agreement. We have also never heard from the victim or her family if they think the punishment was too light. Understand they wouldn't make any p...

There are three sides to every story. From the girl's perspective, all we know is what has been printed in the newspapers. From the boys' all we have is a statement from Latu's lawyer that the encounter was consensual. That's not a lot to go on if you're searching for the third side, the truth of wh...

If you think JDL should be locked up for years, take your gripe to the Hawaiian Prosecuting Attorney that agreed to the plea deal. Or the Judge who signed off on the agreement. As for why JDL can stay, legally speaking, JDL did nothing wrong. He plead guilty in a Juvenile case that is sealed. Mathe...

In case you’re hard of reading I’ll repeat myself. Holy fuck AzCatFan2 do you look stupid defending this shit. I'm not defending JDL. I'm defending the Juvenile Court system. I agree with sealing Juvie records which allows people to have a clean slate when they turn 18. And the facts are, a prosecu...

AzCatFan2

I understand the vitriol against JDL. But the facts are, he was charged and agreed to a plea deal as a minor. Who are we to second guess the prosecutor on the case, or the judge who signed off on the agreement? Under our legal system, JDL is not a criminal. His Juvie record was expunged when he turn...

Lawyers argue Juvenile Records are sealed because, "The main benefit of sealing a record is that a former juvenile delinquent will not need to report their record to landlords, employers, and other key parties in their personal and professional lives. Thus, they will not need to overcome the stigma ...

Let me posit it this way. There are over 550 scholarship athletes on campus, with more walk-ons who participate. Some of them may have juvenile records. Should we be allowed to unseal those records to ensure every one of these athletes are clean enough to participate at Arizona? According to the sta...

JDL was 15 or 16 when this happened? How long should his punishment last? The rest of his life? 5 years? 10 years? 25 years? What JDL did was wrong. He knows it, and admitted it was wrong when he plead guilty to the juvenile charges. And now, JDL will have to pay restitution for his actions too. Bu...

Jerrett thought he was NBA ready. He did get a cup of coffee in the Association, but never stuck around. I think a couple of 10-day contracts at best. One more year at Arizona, and he would have been drafted. Maybe even first round, with a guaranteed contract. And yes, some don't like being students...

Not good. I don't know Hawaii law, but does anyone know if for serious offenses, can underage kids be tried as adults? Most states now have this law, and if a 17 year old commits a serious crime that could put him/her away for a long time, they will try the kid as an adult, so that he/she doesn't ge...

6'3" with good handles, can drive to the basket, solid perimeter defender, but questionable shooter. This description reminds me of Mustafa Shakur. With Boswell, who is a solid shooter, but needs to improve his driving ability and defense, that's a solid backcourt with Bradley and Larrson as a swing...

The Coliseum was old, dirty, and dilapidated 20 years ago. And when you compare Oracle Park in San Francisco with the Coliseum, it's night and day. Not sure why the Howard Terminal planned park didn't at least spark further conversation, but I agree, the A's want out of California. The Raiders got a...

Just putting this out there. At this points, it's nothing more than talk between the ACC and the PAC. Nothing may ever come out of it. But if something could be worked out, a conference with Clemson, FSU, Miami, Utah, Washington, and Oregon for football, and Arizona, Virginia, UNC, and Duke for bask...

Great Wildcat, and making the right decision. Would love to see Zu back for another year in Tucson, but I doubt he'll be able to shoot well enough to really improve his draft position. And that's just one thing Zu needs for a chance to play in the NBA, and I just don't physically, Zu can take that n...

Just personal opinion, but I'd be shocked if Colorado wants to voluntarily leave the PAC for the BIG 12. They left the BIG 12 when the conference had Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. The conference has replaced those schools with a lot of Group of 5 teams like Cincinnati, C. Florida, and BYU. Hard to...

Not surprised the old guard like Marchand and Ourand feel they way they do about CW. 30 years ago, the old guard felt the same way about Fox. How could a network anchored by Star Trek TNG, the Simpsons, and Jerry Springer ever be serious about broadcasting live sports? Is Bart Simpson going to come ...

The CW Network isn't optimal, but we are far passed the possibility of getting an optimal deal. The PAC needs to take the best available at this point, and the CW has some good things going for it. The CW had 197 affiliated channels broadcasting OTA (over-the-air) across the US, meaning games on CW ...

AzCatFan2

The only sports the CW has is LIV Golf. And the viewership numbers have been bad. Is it product? Channel? Combination? I would say combo, as LIV Golf has had a lot of bad press, and the CW isn't a channel people think about for sports. With that said, CW is an OTA Channel with its own app. Games sho...

That Bal couldn't crack the rotation this year is very telling. Disappointed, but when you play less minutes as a sophomore than you do a freshmen, then you should rethink the school you are at. Bal just never took the stop between freshman and sophomore we were all hoping he would take. I don't see...

Love Kerr, but let's be honest. He's an average, at best defender, and streaky shooter. Boswell is already a better defender, and more consistent shooter. Bos has NBA potential, and may be the best PG we've had on campus since Bibby. Kerr? His upside is Euro ball, which isn't a knock on him, as most...

Miller is just 54. He was already showing some signs of change his last year in Tucson, like playing zone, and I think he would have continued to adapt had he stayed in Tucson. Small, minor changes that eventually, had he stayed, would have gotten us to a Final Four in my opinion. He's too good a c...

There are some on this board who have suggested a move to the BIG12 just for basketball purposes is warranted. But when it comes to college conference TV contracts, football is King, Queen, and Prince. And I still doubt the BIG12 contract will be leaps and bound better than what the PAC ends up with...

Basketball teams are usually as good as their coach year-over-year. There are very few basketball programs that stay elite coach after coach. Take a look at Florida, for example. Elite under Billy D, but mostly bubble material since then, bowing out of the first round of the NIT this year. Kansas is...

Hurley is no better than Sendek. Remember, Sendek had a couple of NIT 1 seeded teams back when there were only 65 teams in a tournament. Had there been a First Four with 68 teams, Sendek would've made the tournament at a similar rate as Hurley. But it's no matter. It's not like Sendek, even with the...

Give me some tough as shit, Kevin "No easy buckets" Parrom any day. We let bleeping Princeton get whatever they wanted at the rim. Needed a guy to step up and knock a guy into the first row. Parrom was that kind of guy. This team was too soft.

AzCatFan2

-2 on rebounds. -5 on blocks. -2 on turnovers. And couldn't hit crap from the outside. That's a recipe for a loss in any game. Princeton wanted it more, and it showed. We played down to competition all year, and had zero killer instinct. Deserve to lose today.

AzCatFan2

Out rebounded and out blocked by Princeton. That's why we're losing.

AzCatFan2

Brainless. Can't guard simple dribble drives. And can't secure the D rebound. And taking a bunch of dumb, off rythym shots.

Like it or not, football drives the conversation around conference alignment and conference TV deals. That's because about 3/4 of conference monies come from football. Also why it's silly to think the BIG12 would place Gonzaga, a school with no football team, ahead of Arizona in any pecking order. M...

I think our guys relish the spotlight. That's why we won in both Maui and Vegas. And why we struggled against the likes at Utah. If we can get past Princeton, the lights only get brighter and brighter.

UCLA has the nastiness Miller talked about. But so do we. Ram3y was nails. No fear.

Hope we stay out west now. Would love to be back in Vegas again. Guess it's out of our hands, but we did what we could.

AzCatFan2

UCLA is playing with a small forward as center and what do we do? Put up 3 after 3, of course! We don't deserve to win this game.

AzCatFan2

Brain dead basketball. Just fucking stupid. Silly turnovers and taking 3 after 3 when you have a gd size advantage! And rebounds. Secure the rebounds!

AzCatFan2

1 for 7 from 3 and losing the rebound battle by 3. Not a good recipe, especially when you have a size advantage.
