John Barron facing legal issues

[gonzoron]

He'll be able to pull himself up by the bootstraps and continue coaching. Convicted Coaches have done it after their trials, an innocent, never tried coach shouldn't have a problem. Best of luck to Coach Barron in the future.

Thank you for proving my point of how screwed up our laws are.  Break. The. Bank.  

If only it were that simple. And if they got a $5 million judgment against the school district, guess who ends up paying it?

Break. The. Bank.  Send a message.  Doesn’t matter at this point. I’m well aware it comes back on the tax payer. Maybe they will wake up out of their haze how broken public education can be.  Maybe each person in the Barron household should individually sue the district.  Believe all women amiright?  Ruined a good man’s life and reputation.  All bc he did his job correctly as a teacher.  So glad he stood his ground.

You know damn well this is an absolute asinine comment.

Most you can recover against a governmental entity is $700K

That won't even cover the attorney fees will it?

More than likely it would be a contingent fee.

From a strictly legal standpoint, and speaking in general, not specifically about this case, the fact that the prosecutor has withdrawn the charges does not mean they believe the allegations are false, or that the suspect is innocent. Legally, all it means is that prosecutors believe they have insufficient evidence to prove the charges to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

Also, the Motion to Dismiss that was shared in the other thread states that the charges are dismissed "without prejudice" which means they could still be modified and/or charged at a later date or in a different court.

Didn't he resign while on administrative leave? Not saying that's an indication of malfeasance on his part, but, and maybe @Bobref has some insight, but what is the employer's liability if they didn't even terminate the employee?

Also, I'm not sure I see the connection between a judgment for Barron and enlightenment for the tax payer regarding public education.

Not an insurmountable obstacle, but a formidable one.

Forget it. He’s rolling. Logic doesn’t apply.

according to the interview in the link in the thread, Coach Barron stated he was given an option to resign or get fired

When I posted this last week (and it was removed) I was told that I had a problem with Barron.  The entire process of hiding facts and not letting people have opinions is a joke.  As a father of a teenage girl I know that if any "teacher" slapped my daughter on the butt I would be going for his head.  Since he is a football coach and a good ole boy we will just let him get away with it.  The girl is the victim not John Barron!

AND THIS is why you shoiuld be VERY CAREFUL on just assuming guilt and not allow due process to take place and again why we always have the policies in place we do around here.   I think you owe Coach Barron an appology personally @Plymouthfan91

As the father of a 17-year old girl, I can say that is something that should NEVER be done, regardless of the context.

I think any father/mother/brother/ insert common sense human would agree with you.

It seems people here are more worried about rumors than the reason this thread was originated.

I understand the reasons and I apologize.  I will no longer comment on this.  

I hope you lift your self appointed gag order on commenting.

Read an article in the Tribune that failed to address that. I had wondered if he was given the option to resign.

Doesn't sound like those options are all that different.

hang on did i read that right

 

we have a pinned topic where we can start rumors?

No apology needed.  I was upset that we couldn't talk about it.  I figured once he was exonerated then the digest "police" would let us make comments.  You matter what happens in the case he is still the same person he was before all of this happened.  One dropped case doesn't fix all of the things he has done.

Only if they align with the beliefs of the moderators.

It has NOTHING to do with the "beliefs of the moderators". Had we allowed what you wanted to have done, after the charges had been dropped, we would have been exposed to legal action on his part. Go to the facebook fans page to drag his name through the mud. It's not happening here. 

Is it REALLY that difficult to comprehend?

OR BETTER YET

Have enough guts to to have a conversation with Coach Barron about all the issues you have with him as a person and coach.   

I know its easier to air your percieved grievances under the hidden screen name.   

Classic

Which is why, in answer to the original question, I said the fact that he resigned rather than was terminated was a formidable, but not insurmountable, obstacle to legal action.

I absolutely have to believe at a point that the moderators don't agree with me and let me post anyways.

 

I mean I wrote a story about forcing referees to go to the bar to get berated by an angry mob after football games.
(its a good idea fight me)
