Donaldson admits guilt in monitored phone call
- Thread starter Unwrittengriz
- Start date
The attorney for University of Montana Grizzlies football player Beau Donaldson says a “potential resolution short of trial” is likely in the rape case.
Donaldson, 22, appeared this morning at a pretrial conference in Missoula County District Court. Judge Karen Townsend set a trial date of Sept. 26 to accommodate scheduling issues of witnesses and prosecution and defense attorneys.
But defense attorney Milt Datsopoulos said he’s had “multiple conferences” with Deputy Missoula County Attorney Shaun Donovan that will probably avoid a trial.
Donaldson faces a single charge of sexual intercourse without consent. He admitted in a monitored telephone conversation in December that he assaulted a woman sleeping at his house in September 2010, according to charging documents in the case.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 100 years or life in prison, and/or a $50,000 fine, if convicted of the crime.
Donaldson has been suspended from the football team.

Don't get me wrong here....what Donaldson did was gutless and slimy, but seriously? 100 fucking YEARS? It's not like this guy is a serial rapist breaking into people's homes and assaulting them at gunpoint.
Our legal system is fucked beyond belief.

PlayA-RaPe is going to get a Facebook petition to get him back on the football team.
That is just the kind of guy he supports and "analizes". Anyone that can "get off" from a crime...........gets him off.................and onto his soapbox.

You and I are in complete agreement. anything short of life in prison (100yrs) for rape is a legal dis-service

So, if it doesn't go to trial, that means it didn't happen? I'm trying to apply Jack Mannequins logic here...

Curious about the "monitored" phone call. Was Donaldson aware that he was being monitored? If so, by whom and under what pretense? Did both parties consent to being monitored? What would have been the basis for "tapping" Donaldson's or the victim's phone calls? Is this admissable as evidence or can a defense attorney have the conversation dismissed? More questions; few answers.
Could be using the old "I was sleepwalking and woke up on someone" defense.
