Rainey won't face prosecution
The media will crucify Meyer if he comes back, but I could see him allowing
him back. Its times like this which sickened us about ol' Bobby. He always
let them back because to do otherwise was failing that young man.
Rainey has had more than his share of an unfair and difficult life... I
hope he does come back, but after a serious counseling program for
everything he is struggling with, not just this incident. He clearly needs
help. Let's help him, and then allow him a chance to prove it later.

Well, I guess Meyer will get to earn his $3,000,000 now. What does he do?
The "victim" stood up in court on his behalf. The charges were lowered to
misdemeanor. But, Rainey gets six months of probation and counseling.
I'd bet Meyer keeps him off the team for the rest of this year then lets
him
back on for next season. If, he does all the double secret probation stuff
Meyer thinks up for him to get back on the team.
I don't know about you all, but I feel sorry for Rainey. Sure, it was
stupid, and he should be punished, but I don't think he should have to
sacrifice the whole season if he gets his act back together.
In light of all the arrest stories, I'd guess, as I said earlier, he won't
be back this year.

UF wide receiver Chris Rainey won't face prosecution
Mon, 27 Sep 2010 13:01:33 EDT,
Gator wide receiver Chris Rainey will not face prosecution on a stalking
charge if he stays out of trouble with the law for six months, performs 10
hours of community service and undergoes an anger-management evaluation and
possible counseling, under an agreement reached today with State Attorney
Bill Cervone.
But head football coach Urban Meyer said earlier today that Rainey would
not
play in Saturday's game against the University of Alabama.
"Chris Rainey is still not a part of this team," Meyer said. "He's
definitely out this week."
Rainey was arrested Sept. 14 for sending a text message that said "Time to
Die (expletive)" to a women he had dated. He was suspended from the team
following the arrest.
While Rainey had faced a third-degree felony charge of aggravated stalking,
Cervone said in a written statement that he dropped the charge to a
misdemeanor to better reflect the facts of the case. The victim said "she
was more annoyed than threatened" and did not want prosecution, Cervone
said.
"I am not going to consider any request that the case be dropped in its
entirety, however, because I am concerned when young people act in this way
and believe that we should intervene at least to the point of forcing a
cooling off period and some professional counseling on anger management and
related coping skills," he said.
The victim in the case also released a statement, which said she had known
Rainey for three years and he had not displayed violent or threatening
behavior in that time.
"His actions that night were out of character for reasons unknown to us,
which is why we stood up in court on his behalf," the victim said.
