I guess you missed the last fifteen times this was addressed by multiple people in this thread.
1. Let's not pretend that Bubu just hooked up with a girl while drunk. He took an inebriated "friend" to an empty place, hung out on the phone while his friend raped her (this part has been confirmed by the ALJ), and then went in for seconds.
2. Having sex with someone too drunk to legally consent is rape. So, yes, getting wasted and "hooking up" is a bad decision if the other person was too drunk to legally consent, because it means that you are vulnerable to a rape charge, whether you think that's right or not. It also doesn't matter if you were drunk at the same time - much like drunk driving, it's still a crime even if you're intoxicated.
3. You have no proof he was wrongfully accused.
1. You obviously believe he raped her. And that's fine but don't act like you are being neutral or aren't emotional. You haven't even read the ALJ findings. You have read a couple of pieces put into a newspaper article which also cited the judge saying that the evidence showed they had a history of hooking up and were meeting for sex that night. And also that she never indicated that sex with Palo was unwanted. And communication the next day indicated the same.
2. There is no indication that she was too drunk to consent so you are using pure conjecture to support your position. And if you believe that people shouldn't have sex when drunk that is your moral judgment but not others and it doesn't have anything to do with the law.
3. I didn't say I know if he was wrongfully accused I said if he was he has every right to get justice. But you act like that is not a possibility.
This is what we know in this case from a legal standpoint.
Prosecutor couldn't bring charges because of credibility issues with alleged victim and her mom.
ALJ judge decided accusations were unfounded against Palo based on a preponderance of the evidence and he didn't violate student code.
Leath overturned and so did BOR
But district judge ruled Leath and BOR were in the wrong in handling overturned their decision.
ISU appealed and court rejected the appeal
Palo sued the alleged victim for defamation of character and she settled out of court.
