This proves beyond a doubt that the FSU football program is totally out-of-control. The fault lies with a blind head coach, Jimbo Fisher, a corrupt and eager-to-please police departments named the Tallahassee PD and FSU Joke Police, a FSU Administration that is determined to be deaf, dumb, & blind. This is a rogue program and sooner or later something that NO ONE can ignore of cover up will blow up in their faces. Of course, once that happens, everyone will jump ship and claim ignorance to the entire stinking situation. They are all pathetic and deserve whatever happens to them.

The Tallahassee police responded to the off-campus accident, eventually reaching out to the Florida State University police and the university’s athletic department.

By the next day, it was as if the hit and run had never happened.

The New York Times looked into how the police handled this case, reviewing law enforcement records and interviewing witnesses, lawyers, the police and a university representative. The examination found that Mr. Williams, driving with a suspended license, was given a break by the Tallahassee police, who initially labeled the accident a hit and run, a criminal act, but later decided to issue him only two traffic tickets. Afterward, the case did not show up in the city’s public online database of police calls — a technical glitch, the police said.

Well I now see what my belief is that there is no law in Tallahassee as long as a football player is involved. I wonder to myself how much money and free tickets as well as Free shoes are exchanged? I guess Coach Spurrier was right after all. I use to have enormous respect when Bobby Bowden was there but i have zero respect now. I would not even consider one of my kids, grandkids or great grandkids being at that crooked school. JMO and none of this belongs to anyone but me. I am going to be praying for this university but never mmind. RTR!

I don't think the NYT is going to quit on this story, and eventually it will get more coverage in other media.  I live in FL and I can't imagine the governor or the atty gen getting into this, but they should.

More likely, some smart lawyer will bring a proceeding that will get this into a federal court where local pols & police can't wiggle out of it.  I guess it's possible that  hit & run charges will be filed against the driver, but probably not until after the football season is over.
