Florida State Athlete Cleared of Rape Allegation.

Jameis Winston, star tackle football player, was found not in violation of the university's Code of Conduct after a lengthy hearing. The ruling was made by a former justice of the Florida Supreme Court who conducted the hearing. Prosecutors previously declined to charge Winston criminally. The standard of proof in this hearing was only "preponderance of the evidence" and Justice Major Harding found that that standard had not been met. I am surprised.
