It is both unethical and bad journalism to do what the Cincinnati papers are doing. They are selectively reporting the facts, and it shows. Incidents and crimes have been omitted outright, and Bob Goin is allowed to claim that charges are "false" without even being questioned. What a farce. -- XAVIER MENS BASKETBALL

In reply to: jc 's message, "The Enquirer likes to selectively report the facts. Reading the paper, I would have no idea that BJ Grove was involved or that Donald Little just beat drug charges. The fact that John Burlew is the Judge in this case is outstanding. It wasn't even mentioned in yesterdays or todays paper. You raise some serious questions that will never be addressed in the media.

>>Bob Goin and Bill Koch
>>
>>Last Saturday I discussed Donald Little, and how Bob
>>Huggins was working to get him back in black for the
>>fall. On Wednesday, the Enquirer came out with an
>>article that was basically a UC Press Release. Bill
>>Koch is a fine publicist for The Machine. Seems like
>>Bob Goin has had a change of heart. The man that said
>>that Donald Little is done now wants to give him
>>another chance. He should be checked for a hand up
>>his ass, because he is just a puppeteer for the Bob
>>Huggins Political Machine.
>>
>>In one of his current criminal cases, Donald Little
>>was caught driving drunk and probably on drugs as
>>well. He had drugs in his possession. He pleaded
>>that down to reckless operation of a motor vehicle,
>>and driving with an open container. He paid minor
>>fines.
>>
>>Around here, if I were caught driving drunk and high,
>>with drugs on me, driving without a license, I would
>>be facing at the least a mandatory three days in jail.
>> You simply don't get the opportunity to plead that
>>down to reckless op and an open container. You have
>>to be connected to have the prosecutor throw you that
>>bone. The Bob Huggins Political Machine is connected.
>>
>>It should be noted that nowhere in the article did
>>Machine publicist Bill Koch even mention the initial
>>drug charge. It simply went away. UC AD Bob Goin
>>even had the sack to claim the charges were false.
>>Note to Bob Goin, a plea bargain doesn't give somebody
>>innocence. Does anyone actually believe that Donald
>>Little wasn't drunk and that the drugs weren't found?
>>That is what Bob Goin wants you to believe, and Bill
>>Koch doesn't question it.
>>
>>Bill Koch also brought up Donald Little's other
>>criminal case that went to court today. But what he
>>didn't bring up was the fact that BJ Grove and three
>>other UC basketball players were reported to be
>>involved in the same incident. That is has never been
>>addressed after the initial reports of it in the
>>Cincinnati media. Is BJ Grove still wanted on felony
>>charges? If I saw him in the summer league, should
>>you have called 911? What happened?
>>
>>Puppet Bob Goin is the 4th AD under Bob Huggins
>>tenure. Years ago, he instituted a zero tolerance
>>policy against Domestic Violence after Shawn Myrick
>>plead guilty to rape in the team hotel. Shawn rapped
>>a woman the night before a game at the Vernon Manner,
>>in the same hotel that the team and coaches were
>>staying in. Of course, charges were not filed until
>>the end of the season. Your tax dollars paid them to
>>stay 5 minutes away from their dorm rooms and rape
>>women. Huggs can't even control those animals when
>>they are under lock and key. Bob and his coaches must
>>run a tight curfew.
>>
>>John Burlew
>>
>>So why is Bob Goin so confident about Donald Little's
>>return, given his zero tolerance policy against
>>Domestic Violence? Little still has a court case
>>pending for Domestic violence, so why is Bob so eager?
>>
>>The answer is one John Burlew. Judge John
>>Burlew. Yes, that is the same John Burlew.
>>
>>John Burlew made a name for himself in the media for
>>defending and winning cases against UC Basketball
>>Players. He was in the papers, on WLW, and he became
>>a quasi celebrity. He defended Arthur Long, Danny
>>Fortson, Ruben Patterson and others. He won them all.
>> His most recent victory was in the Demarco McClesky
>>rape trial. The Patterson case was one of my
>>favorites. Ruben used a bedboard to bash open a
>>woman's skull, and Burlew intimidated the woman into
>>withdrawing the charges.
>>
>>For almost a decade, John Burlew was the lead man in
>>the UC Criminal defense team. He kept them on the
>>court for Coach Huggins. He is a personal friend of
>>Bob Huggins. Today, Judge John Burlew took the Donald
>>Little case.
>>
>>Donald Little's Lawyers filed a motion today to waive
>>their right to a jury trial, and a new hearing was
>>set. They initially had petitioned for a jury trial,
>>but declined the right once John Burlew got the case.
>>By doing this, they made John Burlew the judge and
>>jury in the Donald Little case. Does anything scream
>>conflict of interest to you?
>>
>>John Burlew is a personal friend of Bob Huggins, and
>>he has fought for years to keep his kids free. In
>>August, he will get to decide the fate of Donald
>>Little. That is why Bob Goin is already talking about
>>reinstatement. Once this is past, it will be like it
>>never happened to Mr. Goin. Another false charge.
>>This case is rigged, but you would never hear
>>questions of conflict of interest if you read the
>>Enquirer. I wonder if they will even mention his
>>obvious connection to Bob Huggins and the program.
>>That is not ethical reporting.
>>
>>The Bob Huggins political machine keeps rolling. Bob
>>Huggins is the most powerful man in Cincinnati sport.
>>He has Judges, Prosecutors, and the Media in his back
>>pocket (they would probably be up his ass if someone
>>could get Mike OfCoursey to come out).
>>
>>The smokescreen that you see today is the same one
>>that you have been seeing for a decade, only better.
>>Through all the rapes, assaults, batteries and the
>>like, one thing remains clear: Bob Huggins has no
>>integrity.
