Henry K. Lee, the author of that article who has been covering the UCPD for nearly a quarter-century (for the Chron and Daily Cal), is one of the best in the biz in meticulously writing about crime. If he has an "allegedly" in there, or an "accused," there is probably a very good reason for it. I think you drop the "allegedly" when a case is legally settled.
Quote:
The suspended player, who has not been identified, allegedly injured Fabiano Hale, 18, during a Nov. 1 incident at a Cal athletic facility adjacent to Memorial Stadium.

Question for you Okaydo: One thing that always bugs me is when "allegedly" is used to describe a committing of an act that is not in dispute. In many cases the act itself is not disputed by the accused. It's the crime that is always alleged until there is a conviction or admission of guilt. So why is alleged used so often to describe the act even when the act itself is not disputed. In this case no one ever disputed that the suspended player is the one who injured Hale.

This is the best explanation I could find:
http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2010/01/why-do-writers-use-allegedly-when-we-all-just-know-someones-guilty.html
I think the point is that, what if criminal charges are brought againt the player? And what if he's found not guilty? What if, in a courtroom setting, this whole story takes a different turn? If he's found not guilty, then the Chron would be opening itself to libel charges if it had not used "allegedly" and "accused" and any of those special words.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Hale kick some butt in spring practice. I'm glad he's still on the team and well enough to be listed on the spring roster.

not that im not happy that he seems to have made a full recovery but if hale has a big spring, id say our defense hasnt made the strides we're hoping they make under kaufman
heartofthebear;842294959 said:
You mean because he's not a good back in general or because he's not 100%.
He's one of the best backs ever to come out of Santa Cruz co. That's my county. I've decided to become a Hale fan OK?
gobears725;842294972 said:
haha oh not sweating that you like hale. just that hes not really a running back imo, at least for the college level, just doesnt have enough speed. he could be a nice weapon if he puts on some weight and switches positions to fullback though. its more that id be really worried about our D if hale is slicing through it.
hope he continues to make a full recovery. that was a messed up situation regardless of whether charges are brought, whos to blame or who gets in trouble for it.

So there was this bearant supposedly lurking on this site about the time the Hale incident occurred, who said that Hale was going to transfer along with his/her son who was also a player. The bearant also gave a name of the perp who "punished" Hale in the locker room as well as the coach who called in "the hit". Is this bearant not around anymore and are the alleged conspirators never to be named publicly? Did anybody else come into such information and what do you think without naming names?

The bearant you are referring to still posts on occasion. And I don't think it's ever been conclusively proved that "a hit" was called in. There are some that believe that the statement by a strength and conditioning coach that the team should "handle it in the locker room" was a clear signal for violent action, but I don't personally have that opinion.
This reminds me of the ww2 soldiers who killed Italian pow's in cold blood who then later claimed that because Patton told them that their battalion should strive to be killers who would be immortalized in battle, they took that as an order from the top to murder unarmed pow's.

With so many of us knowing the name that was dropped and the conflicting information of his punishments, I think its about time we discussed it openly. This is a public forum and we are discussing a public case regarding a public school administering a public services punishment to a legal adult.
MODS: please explain rationally why we are not allowed to discuss who is serving 25 hours of community service, etc. for being involved in a physical altercation with a Cal football player. I am of the opinion we shoould be able to discuss this openly at this point.

While they draft their response, I think you should explain why it matters. I do not know who the player is, and I do not care. I understand that some people know. What do you gain by discussing the name openly?
