Royce White speaks about laptop theft - 'I didn't do it."

thoughts?

sure.........seems like the UMPD are being vindictive pricks towards royce and that they are grasping at straws in this whole "case" considering they have no real proof either way that royce did anything. those are my thoughts.
 


Sounds like he'd be perceived differently by law enforcement if he'd provide names of the people he was with that night.
 

There has to be something that Royce and Tubby are not telling us. Otherwise why would he suspend Royce from all team activities and keep Trevor on the bench practicing.

Yes. A golden opportunity was missed for Royce to publically apologize for the mall of America incident.

Next time you interview the kid Myron - get it done please.
 

Couple thoughts,

If he wasn't an athlete and in the papers, this case would have been resolved by now.

My totally unfounded opinion is that Royce didn't take the laptop, but one of his friends did, and Royce won't cough up the names. It's been my opinion for a while that the biggest thing holding him back is the group of people he associates with, so I kind of wish that he'd just give the police the names and get this over with. If it hurts his friendship with these people, well, they didn't have his best interests in mind by stealing a laptop in his company regardless.

Then again, maybe he did it himself, no one seems to have many facts besides that security footage.

Because according to Maturi there are several other incidents involving team rules that Royce has broken. Tubby has said that Trevor has done everything we've asked him to do including, presumably, being a good student/representative of the University. Tubby also has said that if the charges against Mbakwe were dropped he would be reinstated immediately.
 

I'd hope that dumping his crew will be a condition of reinstatement.
 



This one sounds like it was stolen from "Casablanca". Round up the usual suspects.

You do realize that the same security footage does have about 500 kids going into that dorm that night right?

Yea, but most of them live there, and probably most have not just been arrested at the MOA
 

I don't think you have ever been to the U of M dorms. On a weekend there are hundreds of kids in those dorms that don't live there, and many are not even students at the U like Royce is. Plus if since he shop lifted once and that makes him a suspect then every time a crime happens and anyone in the dorm has priors they must also be questioned.
 



Why would he lie! He was innocent of assault too, ask him....

The Mall of America incident and laptop theft are not connected to one another, your logic is flawed. And for the most of them live there comment, LOL. Just because you are a resident there doesn't clear you of committing a theft. Anyone could have done it regardless if you are a resident or a visitor.
 

"The MOA incident and laptop theft are not connected....." Except that the star basketball is linked to both. Why does trouble seem to follow this kid around?

What? That's how suspects are found. They looked at people who were in the building at the time of the crime, and said "Hey, look, someone who has recently been charged with theft in a seperate incident, let's check it out." Doesn't that make better detective work than "LOOK!, that kid picked up a penny on the floor of the lobby, BOOK 'EM DAN-O!"

If FarmGopher was a UMPD Officer and "that kid" was Royce White I have no doubt he would indeed, BOOK 'EM!!!

I'm not saying I think he did it at all, I'm just saying it makes sense that he would be a "possible suspect" by police considering A) he was charged with theft and assult recently, and B) he was not allowed to be in the hall. Neither of those reasons has to do with him being "Royce White" or on the basketball team.
 

Sounds like it's time to let Royce join the team...

Also, I love the fact that Myron gave Royce and his boys some more PR for their "White and Brown Entertainment"...HONESTLY!!!! Putting that in there takes away the whole articles credibility...
 

It seems as though either (1) the U police don't want to admit that they can't solve a high profile case, or (2) they think he did it but they know they don't have the evidence to charge him but they still want to punish him or (3) both. It all results in stringing the case along. The U police make the Keystone Kops look proficient.
 

white can claim all he wants he didn't do it. the UMPD did their investigation, he is the suspect, UMPD turned over the investigation to the city attorney to see if they want to charge him and if the city attorney does charge him white can get his day in court and make the prosecutor prove the case. makes no difference if the laptop was returned or not. same as with the moa charge, merchandise more than likely returned to the owner and still a theft charge is brought. same difference here.

he will just have to wait it out like any other person who may have been charged with this crime.

Um, no. Not same difference.

In the MOA incident, he was caught with the jeans, and plead guilty to theft.

In the laptop incident, he was not caught with anything, and has maintained his innocence.

They are not even close to the same thing.
 

Royce, go tell your story to the judge. And here is some good advice for you - don't try to steal his gavel.

how do you know he was not caught with anything? have you seen the video tape? do you know all the evidence against him? he is the person UMPD believes took the laptop. this is evident by them sending the case on to the city attorney. i would say they know more than you.

the point about being the same is in reference to a lot of posters keep going on about it being returned. doesn't matter if it was returned. it was stolen.

You obviously aren't too well-versed on the situation regarding the laptop based on your post, and your logic doesn't even make sense if you know how the legal system works (which is even more sad because you said you work in the legal system in another post). No point in debating it any further with you.

Another thread reported that there was a group walking the halls of the dorm, opening doors (no knocking) and asking "where's the party?". Now why would police suspect a group doing that at about the time a laptop went missing? And why would a well-known 6-8 basketball player be the only one positively ID'd in that group?
