"You'd Think The University Of Iowa Would Have Learned Something From The Pierre Pierce Case"

"Hmmmm, how do you get rid of evidence and taint a crime scene?"

From the Iowa City Press-Citizen:

Unsealed search warrant documents show four Iowa football players -- Cedric Everson, Abeberell Satterfield, Clemmie Jevon Pugh and Michael Daniels Jr. -- were either inside or came by the Hillcrest Residence Hall room where a student allegedly was being sexually assaulted last fall while the victim was inside.

The six search warrants and related documents involving the alleged attack in room N207, which teammate Lance Tillison said he vacated earlier in the semester, also shed light on what allegedly occurred sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. Oct. 14, 2007, and indicate the alleged assault might have been widely discussed in the Hawkeyes' locker room.

Satterfield and Everson, who left UI last December, have been charged with second-degree sexual assault; Satterfield also faces a third-degree sexual abuse charge. Arrest warrants for the two men were obtained last month. Pugh, Daniels and teammate Derrell Johnson-Koulianos have not been charged.

Pugh also has left UI. Daniels and Johnson-Koulianos are both still enrolled at UI.

The warrant documents also state that within days of the reported assault Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz told Tillison to return to N207 to live and Johnson-Koulianos joined him.

"Johnson-Koulianos stated Coach Ferentz told Tillison to move back into the dorm room," the warrant documents state. "Johnson-Koulianos agreed to move into the room with Tillison."

However, the court records state that once in the room, Johnson-Koulianos threw out a new condom and a used condom found behind a bed and a mattress cover with an "orangish-reddish color" substance on it.

No wonder the University of Iowa wanted everything sealed forever for this case.

If the above turns out to be true, Kirk Ferentz should be packing his bags and going to prison.

I think we know from past cover ups at the University of Iowa (the 2002 Pierre Pierce case, Jean Jew seeking justice) that nobody in charge there can be trusted.

Especially considering how many UI football players turned into criminal-athletes in the past year.
