The only time cases like this turn out to be false is when the accuser makes up with the accused and says she won't testify against him. And then everyone still thinks you're guilty. It's a lose-lose situation, even if BJ was completely innocent. Absent some video absolving him and proving his girlfriend to be a liar he's pretty much fucked. And with all the negative publicity in the media with professional athletes and domestic violence, Dawson's NBA career may be over.

If he was putting up 30pts a game I think he could pull off a Peyton Manning and get away with it.

Stop trying so hard to be an idiot Bob...

Sources told us the incident involved a 2nd woman who came to the home to see Dawson. The accuser claimed things turned violent and she suffered bruises to her face and arms.
The case was kicked over to the L.A. City Attorney's office -- which ultimately decided there was not enough evidence to convict Dawson of a crime ... so they rejected the case.

Didn't the dude basically convict him? (Not because he's black mind you. Of course.)
