Carlton Bragg Arrested
-
@stoptheflop Yes…thanks for the input.
-
@BShark and at All Ya’ll.
Guessing what happened and making snap judgements of Carlton is pointless.
Regarding the mug shot smile…yah, I admit I thought it in poor taste to smile for that.
Doesnt mean anything. If anything it doesnt mean he was happy about what happened!!
We cant call for him to be kicked off the team. Thats just silly.
As I mentioned in another post just now, everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance.
-
I know the look, is all I’m saying. Good be wrong, only Bragg knows unless they tested him.
-
Just read from Newell that the victim is being held on suspicion of battery as well. Is that normal?

Interesting. Mug shots are usually taken in front of a height chart and the individual holds a sign or one is added digitally with the case number; neither is present. These appear to be cleansed courtesy pictures provided to KU and not necessarily the customary “mug” shots.
-
I am a lawyer, but without access to the facts I wouldn’t feel comfortable speculating on what the situation is. I just don’t know nearly enough right now.
-
@justanotherfan if she hasn’t been charged how can they keep her in jail? Thx!
-
That is actually “normal” on cases similar to this. It often ends in a case of “he said, she said” or “he said, he said.” Unless there is a “smoking gun” these situations usually vanish because the prosecutor doesn’t have enough real evidence to bring the case into a courtroom.
I’m more concerned about how this case is treated within the legal jurisdiction of KU.
-
@chsguy2008 Yes, it’s normal. If Lawrence PD is told she struck, or even just pushed Bragg and something else corroborates it, she gets charged too. Usually, the couple involved bares their souls to the helpful law enforcement officers and effectively convict themselves of battery offenses. Most people don’t realize that a grab or a push can get them charged with battery.
-
@drgnslayr good point. Maybe this situation with his girlfriend was part of the reason for his on court performance? Can’t know for sure, but I do want him to stay on the team and be a contributor this year. It is possible nothing will come of it and he will just receive a suspension. Lets hope for the best.
-
My brother in-law claims there is video evidence that will clear Bragg. Remember the woman is being held in jail also. I reeeeeaaaaaallllllyyy hope Bragg is innocent of any wrong doing, we shall see.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I’ve sorted through thousands of mug shots and this wasn’t a courtesy job to KU or Carlton. I don’t know why, but not every mug shot involves a chart and ID number or name.
-
I don’t know either. Maybe they feel it was a lover’s quarrel that got out of hand and there is hope they will kiss and make up and charges will be dropped…I know, a long wishful thinking shot…
-
@JayHawkFanToo he needs to stay away from that forever! Play bb
-
Agreed…easier said than done though.
-
@JayHawkFanToo restraining order
-
@BShark I like the logo better than the 'fro.
-
@KUSTEVE what if that is his pic?
-
@brooksmd Thanks for the info. Unbelievable smile for such an occasion. Carlton appeared more serious today in street clothes as the ESPN cameras zoomed in.
-
@REHawk made me sick!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 it could be. i like the cat better.
-
Hard hitting avatar analysis. I like it.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, these kids are like family to most of us. There were occasions when my own two offspring gave cause to my feeling similarly ill! And I know for certain that I caused much consternation decades ago for my own concerned parents.
