I do not see racism here. Getting a black jury in santa barbara would be ludicrous and call for totally stacking it. The judge and jury tried very hard to look at facts, but the problem is that under our court system ALL of the facts are not allowed. The fact that she was lethally drunk and does not remember ANYTHING, that Eric had said she had grabbed his scrotum AT THE PARTY even before they left on his first police interview and claimed they did not have sex were incredibly, not presented. He COULD have easily claimed they had consensual sex as who the hell could say, especially the way she was acting in front of others! the fact that the bite mark far more implicated her boyfriend was not broached by Eric’s lawyer. “Does not rule out” is the most meaningless phrase forensic evidence can spout to make it look in any way meaningful. At all levels this looks like a miscarriage, but PLEASE do not spout that racial nonsense.

Its very surprising I am seeing this in this time of ours. I thought this used to happen when black people were working on the field and most of them were wrongly accused and were jailed and killed. I hope it is not like…. I simply hope that boy was not jailed because of his colour…. God have mercy!!!

Is this the USA people want to live in?? IN santa Bandits i won’t ever go near…wicked Girl with u wicked family and racist Court room…T” THe Black guy had to do it” after all that evidence?? Come on USA. When Tupac got shot no suspects, even in Vagas. A drunk girl with little memo of events.

THis girl who had a strong desire to be with a BLACK man because of his big ‘timber’. But when he refused she’s mad at him for rejecting her so her silly jealous boy friend who even admits i was jealous takes a plan. Yet the jury think ” no he’s black and needs mess her up out of the million girls he could get with his success he had to mess this drunk stinking cigg breath that black men hate??”

Am never going to come to the USA with this sought thing going on and others we keep hearing everyday in the news….SHAME to the girl and her family…SHAME to the Cops…SHAME to the USA system on Black innocent men with good ambition and helping your country to get on the map with football. Not talking American football. God knows his people and for the lack of faith her time will come when she would remember and beg for forgivness…Best believe

To Eric stay head up we all know it’s the system that locked you up not the majority of the people of Santa Bandits. Damn!!

To: Johnny123. He might have lied to protect his relationship with his girlfriend–that doesn’t make him a rapist. DNA doesn’t lie–this case seems like a no-brainer. Free Eric.

I think it quite obvious the “victim” lied so that her boyfriend wouldn’t dump her or for other reasons involving drama.

@ Johnny 123 - ESPN also did not publish a lot of the lies told by the “victim”. She was so drunk it was almost lethal. She had her boyfriend’s DNA and not Eric, the bite marks was more consistant with her boyfriend and because Eric had initially denied seeing her (which I haven’t read anywhere) makes him guilty? Wow, I wonder how some people think. I still don’t understand why people are still accusing him with all these details comoing to light. Wake up and smell the coffee, this guy is obviously INNOCENT

How does something like this happen in the 21st century…..in Santa Barbara, CA. This story resembles the deep south in 1930. Very disturbing…………
The DA’s office should be ashamed.

I am disapointed in ESPN for publishing such a dishonest story. Some of the most compelling evidence was left out of the article. For example the article says that Frimpong admitted to being with Jane Doe that night. Initially he did not and said it was a blond he had been with and been playing beer pong with. Jane Doe has dark hair. WHy lie about that, and why did the article not talk about this. Interesting.
