I believe most women are intelligent enough not to associate with men who would spike their drinks

Is there a reason you mention that in relation to a story about a woman who voluntarily ate a gummy?

I posted that before reading the story completely.

Good men have been convicted on false accusations without proof.

In a society that rarely holds women accountable

I would take the accusations with a pinch of salt.

Yup. The story basically says a woman went to his house voluntarily for for a pre-arranged get together and then called cops because she felt threatened. There's no crime there.

The feeling of being threatened seemingly started after eating a gummy. Assuming it was a gummy with THC at least one person illegally possessed it, but there's no mention of anyone being charged with possession.

Since the woman was a participant in a legal... [ More ]

I wish him the best. There are many stories about people turning their lives around.

get away from drama? brah, he creates all the drama. no matter how much money he has he is incapable of reintegrating into society as man who has spent half his life in prison.

a lottery winner with limited education but a stable personality could become a franchisee and run a couple of mcdonalds restaurants, or buy a few houses and become a landlord to generate income. this guy is too mentally unstable to even do that. he also is unable make friends with normal mentally stable people, all h...

This is very possible. I think some lottery winners should just pack up and go far away to somewhere nobody knows them and start fresh to get away from previous drama in their lives.

One thing about winning is whatever life you had before is over and you need to start new.

I believe most women are intelligent enough not to associate with men who would spike their drinks, e.t.c.

In a society that rarely holds women accountable, sometimes it's good to make people think.

What was the woman doing with him???

Let me guess...she was with him because he was broke.

how much money you think he has left at this point? i'm guessing most of it went in an arm vein.

I've read elsewhere that this man has an extensive criminal history and has spent a large part of his life behind bars. He has been given a chance to make his life better but he obviously has chosen not to. He won't be enjoying much of his money behind bars. It's unfortunate.

Yes, yes, the guy may have a shady past and everything, but am the devils advocate here.

I would take the accusations with a pinch of salt.

The woman was there willingly and there is absolutely nothing that indicates that she was being held against her wishes.

Plus there were six occupants in the house.

I could be wrong, but to me that seems like someone wanting to cash in on a winner.

The guy just needs to lie low and be careful who he hangs out with.

My thoughts.
