Howard's Rock vs Toomer's Oaks
Jul 23, 2015, 6:49 PM
|
|
The guy who poisioned the oaks at Toomer's Corner had to pay $800,000 restitution to Auburn, got 100 days in jail and 5 years probation.
For trees that will grow back.
Last time I checked rocks don't grow back.
Injustice.

Updyk also confessed to it on a radio show

His charges brought a range of jail time between 1 and 10 years. It's a little different in the fact that the evidence in this case is only circumstantial.

Maybe Wilkins should have looked at the strategy the prosecutors used in that case.

The Toomer's Oaks

Did in fact die from the poisoning. They were replaced with new oaks.
I'm assuming SC doesn't have a law as Alabama of desecration of a venerated object.
Plus what gwp said.

I thought he did a public

apology... isnt that the same as a confession? I got the confuse.... I guess I never realized that there was question as to who did the act.
I still dont get why/ how we let the jury determine the value of The Rock. How is that figure in question??

The Alabama fan did confess that he poisoned the oaks

Felony charges were different (more punishable) than Roger's charges.
My "thoughts" are that when Rogers committed the crime there was not a legal value for The Rock.
My question is can an insurance policy establish a value?

From what Ive read recently, there was no appraisal for the Rock and thus there is no determined"legal value"
I am pretty sure you have to have an appraisal(or reciept of sale) before you get anything insured.

From what I understand you can insure anything for however m

You want as long as you are willing to pay the premium.
Whether or not that established a value that a court of law would recognize is what I don't know.
For the record my lawyer is a Clemson WFU Grad.

That rock is priceless to me . It is part of what makes our deal different from everybody else's.
I know , laws and insurance appraisals and what not ...but beat and incarcerate anyone who damages that rock .

I hope Clemson has done enough to deter any future attacks.
What's precious to US will be a stigma to him for the rest of his life.

Maybe the lawyers and politicians can create a law...
Jul 23, 2015, 8:11 PM

to address such objects. We could call it Howard's Rock Law. If you break, steal or attempt to steal such an object the cops will place your balls on Howard's Rock and crush them...

Auburn actually sold pieces of the trees that died.

A decent attorney would have used those numbers to extrapolate The Rock value.
DECENT ATTORNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
