It should be made public. It won't hurt the trial fairness since that is already over. Since this was evidence, the public has a right to see it.

[badger]

I'm actually kind of surprised that it hasn't been made public already. Think of how much TMZ, Page Six or the other gossip sites would have paid for it. Would every single person with remote access to the tape have been able to turn down that kind of money? Or did OU/boosters pay even more to make sure it didn't get leaked?

The Ray Rice video got to TMZ by a security working using a cell phone to record it while viewing it on the hotel's security devices; it should have been just as easy for someone to do something similar at the Norman restaurant.

The media or public at large doesn't have a right to view evidence at least in a blanket kind of way.

Covering courts: access to evidence
Type:
ESSAY

When attorneys show evidence to juries and judges during trial, the photographs and video can also be seen by anyone in the courtroom. Judges’ decisions, which are based on such evidence, are likewise a public record unless the case itself is sealed. But those facts do not guarantee the public access to the physical evidence in a trial. And gaining access to the same material once a trial has ended can be even more complicated, as trial courts often return the evidence to the parties or the rightful owners. As such, taking steps to help coordinate the logistics of getting access to these materials as soon as you know you plan to cover a trial often helps the process go smoother and faster.

As noted in other sections, the public's right of access to judicial records is protected by various legal sources. After-the-fact access to evidence, however, is less certain, although some courts have adopted the view that the public has a right to access such evidence, absent exceptional circumstances.

For example, the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York (2nd Cir.) ruled over thirty years ago that "[o]nce the evidence has become known to the members of the public, including representatives of the press, through their attendance at a public session of court, it would take the most extraordinary circumstances to justify restrictions on the opportunity of those not physically in attendance at the courtroom to see and hear the evidence, when it is in a form that readily permits sight and sound reproduction."

More recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va. (4th Cir.) reached a similar conclusion in the terrorism trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, ordering the trial court to provide the media with next-day access to all documentary evidence that had been published to the jury. Like the Second Circuit, the Fourth Circuit based its decision on the public's right of access to judicial records.

Other courts, however, have declined to provide public access to copies of evidence used in court. A federal court in Colorado, for example, denied a request for access to autoposy photographs used in court, citing privacy concerns.

I suspect shenanigans are at play, which is probably what led to the motion of dismissal to be overturned.

By all accounts, Joe Mixon was provoked verbally and by physical attack, then punched a woman smaller than him with a lot of force. There is a very good chance that in the future, said imagery will be in public domain. Prepare yourself accordingly, whether you agree with the decision to release the video or not.

[Tear Down This Wall]

I wonder if Knighton is ready to end his own legal career over spoliation of evidence. If he allowed the tape to be destroyed - especially within the two years time the victim has to continue civil action - he will likely lose his license to practice law.

Imagine that...a lawyer so stubborn, he'd trade his license to practice law for a college football player's eligibility. Stupid.

Some of us have already seen it. It is Ray Rice-like in its violence.

If released, many heads will roll: Boren, Castiglione, Stoops, and attorneys for City of Norman who have spent taxpayer time and money trying to cover up for a defendant they were supposed to be vigorously prosecuting. Norman PD will likely have heads roll as well.

[badger]

I hope they are also preparing for its release, because even if the courts don't, someone will have dollar signs in their eyes eventually.

From a football standpoint, I understand why they were trying so far to get DGB eligible despite all of the bad PR it entails... we were thin at receiver that season and needed someone else besides Sterling who could catch. However, we have a lot of depth at running back, even after Keith Ford decided to transfer, so perhaps this was a legit move by OU officials for reasons unknown. Did the OU athletic department have a history with this woman? Are there other accounts of the event (i.e. other videos) that the media and others aren't taking into account?

In any event, prepare for all the questions that come with the video's inevitable public release.

The problem is, there are too many things for the national media to pick apart. The Mixon Tape, if released, would just be the icing on the cake.

With Ray Rice, the NFL and the Ravens got to plea stupidity: "We never saw the complete video." OU can't plea that.

Boren, Castiglione, and Stoops all saw it. They were very public about saying, we went to the DA's office, saw it, and everything's fine. He's suspended/(redshirted) for the year.

You'd have the video on top of the WR from Mizzou that they were shilling for to the NCAA at the same time. The Frank Shannon thing, where they let him back on the team...not saying whether that was right or wrong. And, trying to junxtapose that with kicking a whole fraternity off campus over a video where no crime was committed.

Like I said last fall, Boren & Co. can't have it both ways if the Mixon tape is released. It's bad press for the school at a time when people are freaking out about football in general and off-the-field football players' behavior specifically.

They should have had Mixon publicly apologize instead of hiding him behind statement made by other people. It has never helped. The past PR fumble is what makes the future release of the incident problematic.

[Tear Down This Wall]

Also, as stated before, it would have been over long ago - or, at least given us more cover - if they'd had Mixon out publicly showing contrition at every oppourtunity.

It didn't happen. They didn't they chose to circle the wagon and play the "us against the world" card. So, predictably, once we got into the playoff, what was the national media interested in regarding Mixon? The punch...because they've left it unresolved in the public.

Stupid. You'd think as a politician during the Clinton presidency, Boren would be smarter PR-wise.

It could be a case of that's the way things are these days. Mixon's lawyer could have advised him to never say anything that could be perceived as admission of guilt. If he gets hit with a civil suit the second he declares for the NFL, it could turn out to be a wise tactic even though it's not very satisfying. (Note, I'm just assuming such a suit is still possible. If not, then never mind).

Supposedly on another site, But it was taken down immediately. As far as I can tell He was the ONLY one to see it.

It was posted on a website for about 2-3 hours shortly after he turned himself in. The website then took it down because they said they'd been contacted by attorneys who told them it would compromise the case.

I don't think Castiglione and Stoops have a plan. I think they've been following Boren's "lead."

Because The University of Oklahoma doesn't exist in a vacuum, it is glommed into the national "this is what's wrong with college football" narrative: "This college lets athletes rape coeds, that college lets athletes assault women, another lets their athletes steal, they all give them worthless degrees, etc., etc., etc."

Boren could have gotten way out in front of it by sitting Joe and Bob down and saying, "This is ugly. Let's do a presser where the kid apologizes to the girl, the school, etc." Instead, they've got school lawyer-released "statements," word from Eric Striker, and the OU staff shushing national media at the playoff.

Just a complete PR fumble. For what? The eligibility of one kid?

Comparing what Rice did to what Mixon did is just ****ing stupid.

For whom? Rice because he didn't break his fiance's face, like Mixon? Or, for Mixon because he didn't stick around and drag the girl out, like Rice, after he broke her face?

[badger]

There's also the age discrepancy. Mixon had just turned 18, barely an adult, whereas Ray Rice is in his late 20s. There's the alcohol discrepancy --- the woman who attacked Mixon was likely drunk, whereas Mixon likely was not (both Ray Rice and his wife were intoxicated at the time of the video incident). There's the professional football versus college football thing... there's the "they're engaged" versus "they're strangers" thing...

About the only thing that makes these two incidents similar is that there is a video tape and that a football player punched a woman. Alas, that's about all that the court of public opinion needs to put them in the same sentence.

[KantoSooner]

this 'complete pr fumble' has also been referred to as the model way to handle the situation.
Facts were gathered and weighed and a punishment was laid and served out, with a minimum of hoopla.
Don't forget, the victim in this case was not an angel, the police (city, not campus) were involved immediately, thoroughly and elected to not proceed on the basis of the same evidence you have seen (and probably a lot more), the punishment was more than a wrist slap, and was imposed immediately, not after years of obfuscation, the circumstances of the event were far less indicative of malicious intent than, say, dragging a girl off to your room to forcibly rape her (looking at you, Crablegs Rapeypants), and, finally, Striker's comments were completely uninvolved with this incident. What? You get annoyed by young black men being vocal?
The actions of the OU admin were correct and prompt in circumstances that do not match those at Tenn or FSU in the slightest.
Put the hobby horse away.

Uh-huh...it's all rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, though, from a PR standpoint. Not everyone who sees the video is going to have Crimson-colored shades on. So, here's what they will see:

-An athlete breaking a girl's face and getting to stay on the football team...with OU law alumni in the city and judiciary trying to cover it up.

It doesn't matter how many shades of nuance OU fans and supporters wish to throw on it, when it becomes a national story, it is out of the hands of OU and its supporters. We may not like the fact that the narrative will be that way nationally, but it doesn't matter. It's already been going that path anyway, as seen from the attempted playoff interviews.

Here is where more PR savvy would have helped. You are dreaming if you think people around the country who see a video of an athlete knocking out of girl will try to differentiate between it and Ray Rice, FSU, Tennessee, etc. Rather, it will be lumped in with those. Boren will not be able to control the narrative.

And, again, because it's a guy knocking out a girl with one punch caught on camera, it's going to be compared to Ray Rice no matter the ages, levels of alcohol consumed, or any other scenario OU supporters might wish.

It's ugly, and the truth is, it should have been handled in a way that put it to rest and gave the school better cover. To the nation, it's just another school in a town full of its own law school grads in city and court positions trying to cover up.

Not good. And, it didn't have to be that way.

PR be damned. That would be about the most pea-brained thing he could possibly do and any attorney who would allow his client to do so would be an incompetent fool. Why would anybody in their right mind give a person like this ammunition for possible (likely) civil litigation? Every word Mixon says about this incident should be marked as if his future financial depends on it, because it does. 'No comment' would be the best tact.

She's still within the statute of limitations for a civil suits - and, so are all parties involved: City of Norman, OU, Mixon, Pickleman's. They could have done themselves a favor with contrition and helped themselves tremendously. Pickleman's claiming they destroyed the original evidence within the statute of limitations time is really stupid on their part, by the way.

As it stands, any civil suit filed, apology or not, is going to be settled out of court. There is no denying he caused her injuries. There is an obvious court record; plus, her attorney has a copy of the video and is hanging on.

They'd have been smart to be more solicitous and contrite from the beginning instead of letting it drag on. Had they done that from the get-go, everything would have already been done.

I don't think Stoops is smart enough to have figured out what to do. Castiglione is simply looking after the money. Boren led, and has put himself, Joe, Bob, and the school in a box. His word about "second chances" have already been used against him in the SAE deal as well.

The video coming out will bring that back up as well. His moral high ground charade there was shaky enough to be questioned against the Mixon incident. The video will simply crush it.

What are you talking about, future financial? If he still has this hanging over his head come NFL draft time next year, how is he helped?

It's the same thing: had it been over with, he could go into the NFL draft with a clean slate, being able to say to teams, "Look, I manned up publicly, apologized, etc., etc., etc."

As it is, he's been nothing but defensive about, and whether or not that's on advice of counsel, OU, or both, it's stupid. You think the NFL and its teams are looking for MORE bad press these days?

Plus, with the league going more and more to the pass, and running backs becoming more of an afterthought, how in the world does it help Mixon to have this hanging over his head when he becomes draft eligible?

NFL teams don't need or want the headaches at a position where guys are more viewed now as plug-one-in/dime-a-dozen. They'll roll the dice on receivers, quarterbacks, defensive ends, and corners. They ain't rolling the dice on running backs these days.

It's nuts. He's gotten bad advice from day one about how to handle this thing - from OU and whomever his attorney is. They appear to think that there is a flat earth around the City of Norman where no other context except their own exists.

Does anyone who is actually practicing have an opinion on the statute of lims on this? So far as I read, it's an 18 month SOL and would have 'tolled' at the latest by the time his Alford plea was made; which was was fall of 2014, correct? if so, it's either run or will in the next several weeks.
Judging from the fact that the young lady had an outstanding warrant and was not unfamiliar to law enforcement in the county, one has to wonder whether a grand bargain was not struck. Something along the lines of: Joe enters Alford plea, loses a year of playing and keeps his damned mouth shut. You, young lady, leave the University, stop dealing drugs in the state of Oklahoma and desist from legal action. and we all call it done. M'kay? Alright kiddies, hope y'all enjoyed your night out on the town. Off you go.

[badger]

What seems to get the court of public opinion in a tizzy is if the punishment fits the crime.

Right now, as it stands, the punishment was one year off from college football, getting your name dragged through the mud (mugshot, court appearances, etc) and the crime was punching a woman really hard after being provoked.

What the court of public opinion seems to be thinking is that the actual crime was punching the woman really hard in a way that will depicted far worse than any of us can imagine in a video, and the punishment should be kicking him off the OU team.

So that just sounds silly, because then he'd just play football somewhere else and he wouldn't lose anything else except the year he already lost once again. Is that really the goal here --- make him play football elsewhere and sit out another year? Because that seems to be end result if the court of public opinion gets what it thinks it wants

[KantoSooner]

what the nattering class wants is to make decisions themselves. They don't really 'want' more or less punishment...they want to decide on the punishment themselves. Or, even less charitably, they simply want to sit in the peanut gallery, picking their noses, leering and criticizing.
But, of course, they are not going to face up to the logic that they can not make every such decision...and only those decisions they wish to make and still have society rumble along even as well as it does today.
Further, such people don't want to do the work and invest the time and energy in achieving positions that grant them the authority to make decisions, because that would be boring and would take time and devotion.
If they did, they'd be honestly sick and tired of the endless stream of crap they had to face and would look at a situation like L'Affair Mixon and say, 'Meh, somebody dealt with it. Time to move on.'

[achiro]

For whom? Rice because he didn't break his fiance's face, like Mixon? Or, for Mixon because he didn't stick around and drag the girl out, like Rice, after he broke her face?

Rice was in a relationship with the woman that he hit and he hit her twice as I recall. Mixon mouthed off, got pushed, then SLAPPED by a complete stranger(who was drunk). Two COMPLETELY different situations. BTW, It's easy to see something like that after the fact and say what you would or would not have done but the truth is that in this day and age, someone that you don't know attacks you(man or woman), you better be prepared to defend yourself.

Joe Mixon video suit heads to Oklahoma Supreme Court

The Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters is filing a petition with the Oklahoma Supreme Court seeking access to surveillance video of Sooners football player Joe Mixon punching a female student. Oklahoma media outlet newson6.com reported the development this week.

The issue isn't about shaming Mixon or disparaging Oklahoma. But let's be honest: Based on media accounts that described what the video showed, the release of the video could do just that. Mixon was suspended for one year by Oklahoma. Like the Ray Rice case in the NFL, you never know the public's reaction after seeing the punch instead of just reading about it.

The issue here is government officials abiding by public records laws for open accountability. The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals ruled that the judge erred by dismissing a lawsuit seeking to make the video public. Then the judge said he did not consider the video part of the court record, even though he viewed it in court and media members were allowed to see the tape in response to open records requests.

The point of open records laws is to provide transparency. The public should be allowed to examine all of the information available and make its own determination if the correct decisions were made. So the Mixon video saga moves on, this time with a petition to the state Supreme Court.

[Pride1Mom]

I do not believe the PUBLIC needs to know everything! If a judge has made a decision, that should be it. There are plenty of other issues to concentrate on....like who will the best receiver for OU.
