I'm not much of a texter but it seems you would have to have quite a bit of control to be able to type out words on those little cell phones. At what point somebody is too drunk to consent is anybody's guess, it depends on a lot of factors. But one thing that bothers me is that she can't claim she was drunk when she lied to the county attorney and fabricated evidence.

I get the feeling that some of you consider black-out drunk to be the level of intoxication required to not be able to give consent.
You're going to have to show me where I said anything even remotely similar to that. But considering that drinking often precedes sex, even with married people, wouldn't you agree that determining a point when a person is too drunk to consent is a very difficult task?
Not terribly difficult. I'd argue that point should occur when judgment/faculties are impaired enough to land you in jail. There are already laws on the books about that, so .08 works.
you made it sound like texting takes extreme focus and concentration. many kids today can text without hardly looking at their phone.
I believe they weren't admissible in court but the ALJ/Leath did have them to make their rulings. At least I know Leath is quoted as saying he read through pages of text messages. Although I don't know for sure if there may have been some that were still unavailable to the university or not.
That is the way I read it to be. If it is any less then you get into the point where it depends on the person. To be able to fairly decide if a person was able to consent it either has to be any alcohol or so much alcohol that they can't talk, walk, or whatever you want to call it.
Otherwise there isn't a good way to determine it. I shouldn't be held responsible because someone seems ok and with it then regrets sex and claims I wasn't aware of or under control of my actions.
Pretty sure any amount of alcohol at all pretty much makes it impossible for a woman to consent legally, even if there was a prior relationship. Even just one drink.
If you don't understand the idea of respecting when someone says "no" it is a difficult task.
I suppose I could read the ISU student code but if a student is found guilty of violating it, is being kicked off a sports team one of the consequences?
If Bubu wins this case, Leath's going to look like an even bigger ******* than he did after kicking Bubu off before he was found guilty of anything.
