That’s exactly why I was asking about a trial. Disappointed but not surprised another team took him

A pretrial conference for April 30th has been added to the court calendar

The willingness of another team to sign somebody charged with a likely felony level sex crime is disgusting.

It reminds me of the University of Alabama and basket ball a few seasons ago.

- Player is implicated in bringing a weapon on request to a friend, also a basketball player. The friend then uses the weapon to kill a woman (apparently had been trying to shoot another male he had an argument with, but hit woman instead).

- Player that brought the weapon on request is deceptive with police. States that he only brought the friend's car to the site, and was unaware of the weapon in it. But later investigation proves he obtained and brought the weapon as an individual item. He, however, cannot be charged under Alabama law (no connection to later shooting).

Surely, he would still be booted from Alabama's sacred team- right? Wrong!! March Madness is approaching- or maybe is even in full swing. The player in question is a rising star with NBA potential.

This guy is absolutely critical to Alabama's success in the play offs. Rumors fly that Alabama cannot win a key game with out him. Solution: He stays on the team for the play offs. The Victim? Totally meaningless when compared to March Madness.

I cannot for the life of me get a link to properly link to his record. Here is the Kentucky court record lookup tool but if you search his name it will come up. After many attempts over the last few months, I realized a discrepancy in the spelling of his name between the court system and what’s been reported. Only once I searched “Jamairon Wilcox” as opposed to “Jamarion” did it come up. I’ll include a screenshot in case the search gives you trouble

This is common behavior for the school involved here, Marshall University. They signed a player a few years ago who had to transfer high schools due to sexual assault allegations and THEN was kicked off UVA’s team when he was accused of sexual assault again. Marshall signed him and I guess it was all fine since he was a big NFL draft pick for them. They also signed a player last year who was kicked out of NC State for the same thing.

Sadly, I think the only reason I’m genuinely shocked by this one is because it seems to be one of the rare cases actually approaching a trial. I don’t think many university code of conducts would allow a student to participate in athletics while on trial for sexual violence? And even if I’m mistaken, there’s a chance he never even plays a down of football for them if he’s convicted. It’s a morbid way to look at things but schools don’t often take these kind of risks (PR and otherwise) adding players unless they’re certain they will see the field so I’m quite surprised by this one.
