http://www.espn.com/college-sports/baseball/story/_/id/23717915/oregon-state-beavers-pitcher-luke-heimlich-goes-undrafted-second-straight-year

Oregon State pitcher Luke Heimlich, who as a teenager pleaded guilty to molesting a 6-year-old relative, was not selected in the Major League Baseball draft for the second straight year. Heimlich is a two-time Pac-12 pitcher of the year for the Beavers and is regarded as one of college baseball's top players, but his troubled past has given big league teams pause. The 22-year-old left-hander was expected to be drafted early last year until The Oregonian reported Heimlich admitted to the crime when he was 15. After pleading guilty, Heimlich was sentenced to two years' probation, among other requirements. He did not play for Oregon State last year in the second round of the NCAA tournament or the College World Series. He returned for the 2018 season and helped the Beavers to a No. 3 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.

Heimlich pitched seven innings, giving up six hits and striking out three, to pick up the win Saturday night as Oregon State routed LSU 14-1 in the Corvallis Regional. He has a 15-1 record with a 2.42 ERA in 17 appearances (16 starts) this season. In June 2017, the victim's mother expressed dismay that Heimlich was allowed to pitch for Oregon State, telling The Oregonian, "I'm appalled that the college he's going to would even have him on their team." Heimlich recently insisted in stories by Sports Illustrated and The New York Times that he was actually innocent and said he pleaded guilty because of poor legal advice. The three-day draft concluded Wednesday night, with 1,214 players selected.

I think you should say "convicted as sex offender". the distinction is important. we don't know if he actually did it.

Why would he plead guilty if he didn't do it?

And since when do we still have to give benefit of the doubt post conviction? I mean yes some people get screwed but there's a reason media stops using allegedly after a person is convicted.

I'm just saying, I've been learning alot about how corrupt the justice system is in the past few years. I would say maybe as much as 30% of the prison population in america is innocent

Who knows? I'd tend to believe that figure is a little high but all the same a far greater number of people who claimed to be set up / framed / innocent who actually are guilty is much higher.

Fair, Next. That guy is a sex offender he doesn't deserve to be in the MLB. He can get a second chance but not playing baseball.

iirc, he mostly took the plea deal because it wasnt a bad bargain and they didnt want to force his family member, then 6, to testify in court.

Guy already paid for his sin. He also hasnt done anything besides forgetting to update his sex offender registry, which is why this came to light.

Let me know when a single extreme example alters all of reality beyond it.

I remember reading a story about a 74 year old farmer in my province who was attacked by a cougar and managed to get his key chain pen knife out and kill it then walk 2kms to a road to get help.

That doesn't mean the average senior citizen with a 2 inch bladed knife on their key chain can kill a cougar bud.

because too many people are in prison for crimes they didn't commit. you want me to just forget them and let them rot in there. the justice system is corrupt from cops to judges.

No, he's lazy. He never reads the stuff he tries to have a discussion about and just goes by made up shit. Even if he does read the articles occasionally, he definitely has a problem with critical thinking.

Sweet. Jesus.

Seriously I was only vaguely aware of anything about this before but after looking more into it... wtf Dude?

This isn't all that far from "Manson could be innocent. Maybe he just had fun hiding in cabinets. Unless you saw it how do you know?"
