Chicago Police Interview Starlin Castro
I've been debating with myself whether to post this given some of the ugly comments this story tends to generate. But this is a major development and perhaps many Cubs fans outside of Chicago aren't aware of it yet.
Earlier reports indicated that Castro was questioned "all night." (The account I read in the Daily Herald used this term.) But the story seems to have changed to include the specifics indicated in the linked-to ESPN piece, which are still pretty daunting.
I believe Starlin has done the right thing by voluntarily submitting himself to what must have been an exhausting process. And, to my knowledge, he has yet to be charged with anything. I do wonder whether that will change after the CPD reviews everything he said or didn't say during the interview.

I think we all saw this coming when Castro returned for the Cubs Convention
And there is no way that he is questioned all night with the legal team he has.

Update: Starlin has released an official statement through the Cubs:
“I personally, and through my attorneys, have fully cooperated with the police in this matter. Unfortunately I cannot address the matter further at this time while the investigation is taking place. I understand that being a member of the Cubs means being a hard worker on the field and a good citizen off the field, and I always want to carry myself in a way that exceeds high expectations.”

We don't know what happened..
and the until we do, I’m not going to judge his “decisions” that night in anyway. It’s easy to say in hindsight what he should of done.
All I can say is that hopefully he won’t be put in this situation ever again, assuming this doesn’t progressively get worse.
'Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.'
Pretty easy for you.......
to call it after the fact. I’m sure you’ve done things in your life (at least 1), where you’ve said afterwards…….“yeah, I shouldn’t have done that……”
Big difference...
… is that “the rest of us” don’t nearly have as much to lose as a star baseball player do. Sorry, but while Castro may have done nothing wrong, its his duty to be well beyond reproach. Personally, I believe that everyone should follow that advice… but for the same reason that athletes should hire drivers when they go out drinking, etc. You need to protect yourself, and for high profile individuals, this means not doing things that normal people do on a regular basis.
Agreed....
To a point, but people around here act as if he’s perfect, and not a friggin’ human being.
Yes..
… but in this age of social media, everyone with smart phones, etc, athletes need to be 100X smarter than even a few years ago. Had Michael Jordan played during this era, people would see him in a much different light, as his alleged transgressions would make Tiger Woods look like a choir boy. Point being, players need to be smarter and this is why the NFL, for example, has sessions for incoming rookies about proper behavior and how to protect themselves.
Starlin Castro may have done nothing wrong from a legal standpoint (not saying he did or didn’t, just saying for the sake of this argument). He may have done things that a typical 21 year old would have done. But the typical 21 year old doesn’t have the earning potential based on his or her own image that Castro does. The typical 21 year old doesn’t have people targeting them (not saying thats what the involved female was doing). Athletes need to be smarter than the average person, and this means not going home with a female so drunk that they’re are blacking out and not going to be able to remember what happened the next morning.
I don't disagree with you.
My comments are directed at those who are over the top with their criticism of Castro. Dumb move? Sure………but let’s not act like we’re perfect. Guarantee many others have done things similar to this on the “against better judgment” scale, or perhaps worse.
And……ALLEGEDLY “so drunk that they’re blacking out and not going to be able to remember what happened the next morning.”
People see Michael Jordan in a different light now
He went from being a player’s player to being an owner’s owner. He was going to unleash a tirade against the players in this recent lockout until the owners got him to keep his mouth shut because the players’ representatives had prepared a speech that would use all of his quotes from the 1998 lockout against him. He was one of the hardliners.
And has anyone else seen him? He doesn’t look the same, in the eyes, in the face. His eyes lack that focused look he would have when making free throws and other tosses and his facial expressions look closer to Herman Cain than Derrick Rose. Of course, one could see that kind of behavior off the court back when he was a Bulls player, but it’s like everything about him that people liked and that was very talented just went out the window. Did he transfer it to Derrick Rose or something?

It occurred after two adults left a bar together.
I’m not making any judgement on what happened – but to claim that it didn’t occur BECAUSE he went to that bar is ignoring the cause.
My initial response was to kandaber
my point was that this was not as simple as him going to a bar, and that what he is being accused of did not occur inside a bar.

Understood... it's much more than that.
But the issues all derive from that location. If you’d have articulated a better response, I’d have no issue, but it came across as if you were implying more than the fact that the issue at hand didn’t occur at the bar itself… we all knew that.
Castro
Apparently he’ll be at the convention but will be held from the media session before the opening ceremony… sorry if someone posted this already. Personally, I think it might be best for him actually to speak to the media. I know that, at this point, he can’t answer a lot of questions for legal reasons. I do feel, however, that hiding him from the media is just going to make things more difficult when he actually has to speak for the first time, likely in the spring. I realize this weekend is about feel good Cubbiness… but it might benefit him in the long run to not look like he’s hiding.
There is the Court of Law and the Court of Public Opinion
At this point, the Court of Law is much more important. Anything he says in public can be used against him in court.

I disagree
Castro can easily say “I cant respond to questions about the case right now… I wish I could but for legal reasons I can’t.” Reporters get that… they’re not stupid. All sorts of people currently being investigated speak to reporters while refusing to discuss an open case.
agreed
no reason he cant start the session with the media by saying “i cannot and will not discuss anything in regards to my interview with CPD and the alleged situation leading to it”

That verbal statement is no different than the official statement
There’s no benefit there.
I watched the NBC 5 news at 6pm tonight and this was one of their top stories. Phil Rogers (NBC 5) did the report from the Cubs Convention and he read the entire statement on the air. That was much more effective than a one line sentence from Castro.

you're missing my point
Castro is going to have to start talking to the media. The more he is hidden from the reporters, the bigger of a deal its going to be when he is finally able to talk to them. The point isn’t him addressing this situation, its him being present and available to talk to the media. The story now becomes “Castro finally talks to the media, after months of an embargo”. So now, when Castro is allowed to talk to the media, the story is both the accusation of sexual assault as well as Castro finally being allowed to talk to the media.
OK, here are Castro's choices
1. Take your media relations advice.
2. Take the advice of the legal team he has, including Ed Genson’s law firm.
Hmmm. What to do?

They're probably hoping the charges will be dropped and they can hold him back until then.
DUMP GARZA. CORRECT THE COSMIC WRONG.
Anything he says is admissible
And can be used to attack his credibility if anything slightly contradicts anything he says during officials proceedings. It’s better to say nothing at all knowing how words can be twisted.
simple
“I can’t answer any questions related to that”.
The media is interviewing pretty much everyone, so there are plenty of questions that they can ask Starlin that has nothing to do with sexual assault.
"I can’t answer any questions related to that"
Haven’t he and his lawyers and the Cubs both made statements to that effect several times? I don’t understand why you want Castro to start every interview with the media by regurgitating that statement over and over again, it just isn’t necessary.
The media are not idiots, this isn’t there 1st go around with a star athlete who has done something that may or may not be criminal. And I’ve heard at least a few local media state that those with knowledge of the situation believe that it is highly unlikely that Castro will be charged with anything regarding this matter. If the authorities had any decent evidence, he’d already have been arrested by now, IMHO……
His youth and grasp of the English language combined with the severity of the charges
Makes me think that might not be wise.

"The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money." --Ernie Banks
So now that
this step has happened, the ball is in the police’s court, to mix sports & sports analogies. On what timescale can we expect, if the police think there’s enough evidence, to charge/arrest Castro? A week? This would give us a window on when it is likely they would take action/there’s something there vs. when it is unlikely they would act/there’s nothing there or nothing actionable there.

As far as the schedules are concerned
… the Cubs have, in recent years, issued a special pocket schedule with some convention-related art on the front.
Then they have a different one issued before the season (the convention one doesn’t have the TV schedule on it).
I wouldn’t read anything into it at all.

I still don't know what to think about any of this
I keep hoping it’s a bad dream that goes away, but that isn’t exactly possible. So the next best thing to hope for is that no one was assaulted and the accuser and Starlin are cleared, but that is nearly as improbable. Just an awful situation, no matter what happened, and no matter what the outcome is.

The sad part about this is that...
…no matter what the outcome, this is going to cast a long shadow over the start of a very promising career.
At the very least though, the Cubs should treat this as a cautionary tale and do everything they can to educate young players on the "do’s and don’ts ". For starters, nothing good happens to professional athletes in bars at 3 am.

If there was a strong case against Castro he’d have been arrested. That doesn’t mean he won’t settle, but I assure you the CPD doesn’t care what will happen in the future, they only worry about the facts at that point and time.
Arrests for professional athletes or famous people do not happen in the same manner..
…as the general public. With the ability to post bail and the class of attorneys that they generally work with, the arrest and arraignment process for those people is a lot more judicious and deliberate.

Nifong aggressively prosecuted that case by trying to use the racial undertones generated by the accusations. Remember the outcry by so called black leaders, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, you would have thought they never heard of the presumption of innocence.
Nifong tried to advantage of that, he thought he could win re-election by currying favor with the large black population in the area by ruining the lives of a few college students.

Not only would he have been arrested he would have had been pressured to come back to the states beore now.
What most likely happened was they contacted his lawyer and were told he’d be here in January and said “Okay we’ll interview him then”.
What bothers me is calling the journalism in this NAtional Enquirer like is an INSULT TO THE ENQUIRER.
They keep emphasizing he left town the next day. Excuse me it was 2 days after end of season when he was scheduled to go home anyway. AND THE REPORTERS KNEW THIS.
And they keep harping on the fact he stayed in the DR since. Why would he necessarily come back to Chicago during this time?
