There was no rush to judgement by ESPN or the innumerable other outlets that reported an actual legal filing. And they all carefully stated "alleged" regarding the charges themselves.


Some posters here may have rushed to judgment, but it seems that many also either used the words alleged or qualifiers such as "if the charges are true." On the other hand, there also are many who are making a rush to judgment that the charges are false, based on Mixon's lawyer's claim that the charges would be dropped. We don't know if what the lawyer is reporting is true or if he/she is trying to get out in front of the developing story. Whether the charges are dropped or not, it certainly appears as if there was an actual court filing and an actual arrest warrant.

Not to be a Fred but this phrasing from my understanding is false. It was his agent who released the charges would be dropped. 

To me, that means one of two things : A. The charges were false B. It was settled and the victim recended their statement.

Without any evidence to the contrary, this is still a bad image for Mixon with his previous transgressions. I'd still lean towards erring on release (to avoid backlash like Buffalo did with Punt God) or suspension until complete investigation is completed by both parties (Bengals/Mixon).
