Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna charged with assault by Toronto police

How does a peace bond implicate him? At the end of the day he was set free, not guilty of any charges. Isn't that called being 'innocent'? All I said was the dude is innocent.

No, he wasn't pronounced innocent at all. He still has to do counseling and he can't even contact the mother of his child without written consent. He also accepted a 75 game unpaid suspension. Does that sound like nothing to you? Something obviously happened, he just got off because his accuser has more to gain by him making millions on the baseball field and paying alimony than she does by him being unemployed and/or in jail. Such is reality with domestic abuse, as mentioned.

Given your "pile of rocks" comment as well, you clearly aren't invested in this case or the return, so believe what you want to believe.

The legal threshold for guilt and innocence is not the same necessary for an employer. I'm glad the Jays got rid of him.

And more to the point, the legal threshold of guilt and innocence is not actually definitive of true guilt or innocence. The legal system gets things wrong all the time. It's just that, when we're operating with the idea of public punishments and potentially taking away people's freedoms, it's the best system we've managed to come up with. In terms of actually figuring out who is or isn't guilty, it isn't always the best way to judge. In this particular case, Osuna's actions after the allegations, as well as MLB's and the Blue Jays' suggests rather strongly that he was guilty of something. What he was guilty of, we may never know, though.

So we traded an innocent dude for a pile of rocks. Nice, what was the urgency to trade him again? Team wasn't going anywhere this year.

Damn, it’s hard to pile this much ignorance into 26 words. Well done.

Did he go to jail? Is he on parole? Does he have a criminal record? You're just as ignorant.
