Looks like Peterson and Briles weren't lying about the communication

He had no disciplinary record, no charges were ever filed in Boise, the only police report is from when he punched a hole in the wall and folks thought he was suicidal.
Only in the trial did it come out that he beat his ex-girlfriend, in the court reports from when the police put him in protective custody, the psychological examiner questioned the girlfriend, suspected physical altercations but could not get her to testify at that time. Only statement was extreme verbal abuse both ways.
Pretty interesting and I guess it sheds light onto why he got the sentence he received.
All things said though, this only absolves Briles from bringing him to Baylor. It does not excuse the coverup, poor investigation and keeping the kid on the roster during the investigation and the treatment of the victim. The only thing Briles would have known was the kid was a suicidal depressive. Once the accusations came out though, red lights should have fired off, and instead of protecting both the then accuser and defendant, they failed miserably and only protected one.
It will be interesting how this plays out. It's now apparent both Boise State and Baylor did not know about the physical abuse of the ex-girlfriend, but Baylor was definitely complicit in a poor investigation and cover-up.
