Brady is indeed a pioneer in alternative health and fitness philosophies, and that's to be commended based on his results. Although it will be interesting to see if that will prevent him from getting CTE. Can't argue with his career stats.

For me, it's Brett Favre for the excitement he created (interceptions included). He threw the ball at impossible times into impossible places, sometimes at impossible distances, without the benefit of the quality of receivers Brady has had. So much fun to watch, regardless of outcome, which was right at the top as well. Just keep him away from a cell phone.

But if I needed a guy to get me all the way down the field into the end zone, Aaron Rogers. He can slice and dice like no one else. He may be a moron, but he's an assassin on the field.

Roessler already had a history with the victim, who had a protection-from-abuse order against him. He denied involvement in placing the AirTag and deleted the device from his iPhone in front of a police officer. It's not clear how Roessler pitched to police how his AirTag ended up inside the woman's trailer hitch by accident.

So, it was his AirTag, since he was able to delete it from his phone (presumably from Find My) but he denies any involvement. Suuuure. I suppose  it’s just a coincidence he had prior activity with this woman, too. 

I’m reminded of those shows where cops would plant a car in a high theft area. The car would be stolen, the cops would disable it with the thief locked inside and then approach the their who immediately said, “Officer, I had nothing to do with it.”

...

I wonder if crazy stalkers will invest in “burner iPhones” and fake AppleIDs to stalk their victims. 

Or, the flip side of that:   An angry, revengeful "victim" buys a "burner iPhone", sets it up under the "Stalkers" name, plants an AirTag -- then complains she is being stalked.

These days, instead having to be proven guilty, he would have to prove his innocence -- while he sat in a jail cell.

That's not how the law works. Even buying a "burner iPhone" that is activated would have a trail. It would likely be easy enough to see that the iPhone and AirTags were both purchased by and activated by the so-called victim and that the so-called stalker was no where near these places when it happened.

Perhaps.  But in today's "I believe the victim" (without evidence) mentality, the investigation you speak of may never happen.

Is because of the Me Too movement where women were finally being heard by a larger majority regarding their harassment (or worse)? If so, that's very far-right wing of you.

As for the reality, there's a very long and dark history of believing the so-called victim without evidence. Emmett Till comes readily to mind. Even the movie 12 Angry Men shows that people form assumptions based on evidence that may not be complete or even solid.

The bottom line is that all potential victims should be heard, but that doesn't mean you should decide on an outcome simply because of the type of assumed crime, who potentially perpetrated the crime, and who potentially is the victim. We still need to use reason to determine is such a crime has been committed, but emotions and past personal trauma—which are not at all a new thing—lead us to rationed decisions without proof all the time.
