Really unprofessional move on the part of this lawyer. Onthe other hand, Ben set himself up for any yahoo to crawl out from a rock and sling mud - which in the court of public opinion - is going to stick, proof or no proof.
If this was 6 months ago it was in the middle of the season. I know these guys sometimes jet around for a quick day trip, but this seems unusual to be across the country in the middle of the season. I wonder if this was the bye week.

Manion joins D&C to break some news on the Ben Roethlisberger case. Mr. Manion has no comments to add to those he made on the Dennis & Callahan radio show this morning regarding his brief involvement in a matter concerning Mr. Roethlisberger, which he disclosed prior to providing his legal analysis of the Georgia investigation as a legal commentator for WEEI, except to clarify by saying that the only similarities between the two situations of which Mr. Manion is aware is that they both involve a young woman and a nightclub. Mr. Manion did not mean to express or imply that he has any information that Mr. Roethlisberger engaged in any illegal behavior. All other information, apart from Mr. Manion being retained, is confidential.
I'd be interested to know what things were "almost identical." If that "almost identical" involves the alleged victims getting drunk on alcohol purchased by Ben, it really does not look good. It leaves the possibility of Ben getting the girls too drunk to give a coherent witness or testimony as a strong one.
Like i said earlier, more crap and piling on. It looks like Manion is now trying to avoid a defamation suit.Originally Posted by JUST-PLAIN-NASTY
Is Ben auditioning for the lead role in the new "Predator" movie?
I'm with the OP...if the Rams are offering two #1's, TAKE the deal!
Piling on, like I said.
Boston Lawyer Harry Manion Clarifies Statements About Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger avoided charges in Georgia on Monday, but a Boston lawyer opened up a whole new can of worms Tuesday.
The lawyer, Harry Manion, called into WEEI's Dennis and Callahan Show and said that he was hired to investigate allegations that the quarterback was involved in a situation "in a Las Vegas nightclub that [was] absolutely identical to this Georgia girl's story."
"There is a history here -- and I can't say any further because we never proceeded with it -- but there is a history here that is just super troubling," Manion, a partner at Cooley Manion Jones LLP, told WEEI.
Later in the day, however, Manion clarified his statements, saying that "the only similarities between the two situations ... is that they both involve a young woman and a nightclub."
"Mr. Manion did not mean to express or imply that he has any information that Mr. Roethlisberger engaged in any illegal behavior," the statement said. "All other information, apart from Mr. Manion being retained, is confidential."
The added allegations come just one day after the district attorney in Milledgeville, Ga., determined that there would be no charges filed against Roethlisberger for sexual assault.
