This is a tricky situation.
Jonathan Taylor has been arrested before for domestic violence, so when it happened again people saw it more as a pattern of behavior than giving him the benefit of the doubt he could be innocent. He was immediately kicked off the football team and Nick Saban went into damage control, but now the young woman who made accused him says she was lying.

The problem is we simply don’t know what is the truth.
Did he really beat her, did she make it up or is she just saying she made it up to try to salvage his career?
Only two people know and that is Taylor and the young woman. If she did indeed lie, she needs to go to jail and Taylor needs to be reinstated, but that is something for the cops to figure out.
