Rape allegations clearly written by a fan

This section is filled with bias and needs major revisions if not to be completely rewritten.

The fact that no bar employees were interviewed (which, by the way, is not the wording of the listed source) is not relevant. Neither is the accusers inconsistency or her returning to the Cafe the next day. Why weren't any statements by Shannon included in this entire section? The entire last paragraph is also opinion, irrelevant, and needs to be scrapped. For the record, this was not proven to be a "false claim" as that is not how the law works. Calling it such in a Wikipedia article is just blatantly wrong.

Keep in mind this is an article about Terrence Shannon Jr., not the people who accused him. Too much of this section just isn't relevant and reeks of an Illini fan with a vendetta. Flagemoji (talk) 06:18, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that the identities and the opinion at the end did not belong (they were added by another user), everything else in that section appears relevant to the events that transpired and/or the verdict itself. The investigation, the victim's inconsistency as well as her return to the bar were relevant to her believability, all of which are relevant to the proceedings. I do agree that the wording of the article for the lack of interviewing the employees was vague, as it stated the Defense's questioning without an answer, so I will be adding another source that confirms. You are free to add statements by Shannon if you would like. poketape (talk) 01:58, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The word "alleged" should probably precede most occurrences of the word "incident" with respects to the alleged sexual assault. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.87.251 (talk) 03:29, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
