Alabama attorney Don Jackson, whose services were retained by the Graves family, inferred that the video evidence and number of eye witnesses on the football team should have made it an open-and-shut case, stating:
“This investigation should have taken five minutes to complete. There is no justification for a college coach ever putting his hands on a player.”
The sad irony to this story is that it happened in October, Bullying Prevention Awareness Month.
Tell us what you think: Was Coach Kramer in the wrong? Or do you think Graves took a dive?

I have a comment, Brumagin: Go back to school and learn the difference between the words “inferred” and “implied.” OK? The lawyer didn’t infer a thing. Or maybe I’m guilty of bullying during “Bullying Prevention Awareness Month.” Whatever this is and whatever weasel company concocted it in order to make a quick buck.
Thank you for your concern, but I stand by my word choice.
Consider the definition of infer and the circumstances (that there was video evidence and witnesses to corroborate the story), it should be fair to say that the lawyer made a conclusion based on the facts that he had available to him. That, by definition is what it is to infer. Also, consider that to imply involves inferring (“to involve or indicate by inference”).
