The attorney of the woman who accused Jameis Winston of rape has spoken publicly for the first time since the state attorney's decision not to pursue charges.

Speaking Friday from a park in Zephyrhills, Fla., Patricia Carroll spoke for an hour-and-a-half detailing inconsistencies with reports released to the press. She also said her client will not be pursuing civil litigation at this time, stating the accuser is finishing final exams under special circumstances provided by Florida State University.

"I would characterize this as an investigation into a rape victim and not a rape suspect," Carroll said in the press conference, aired by WTSP.

William Meggs, the Fla. state attorney in Tallahassee, announced last week the evidence was not strong enough to pursue charges against Winston. Carroll said 152 pages of Meggs' 248-page report are devoted to records relating to the accuser and just 11 pages to the suspect.

Here are the five main inconsistencies Carroll highlighted in her press conference.

1. Detective Angulo

Carroll said Angulo issued a search warrant for accuser's phone, text and social media records, but not the suspect's. Carroll also said she told Angulo in Jan. that she was authorized by her client to communicate on her behalf.

Carroll also said Angulo did not record any of his conversations for his investigation. Those conversations included more than one phone call with the accuser and at least one where Winston declined comment and one with Tim Jansen, Winston's attorney.

2. Medical Records

The version of the medical report in Meggs' information release was not redacted, but had missing information, according to Carroll. She said the actual medical report included details of the accuser's injuries, like lower back pain, neck pain, joint pain, fever, chills and injuries consistent with sexual assault.

Carroll also said she expressed to Meggs that the accuser's headache and fragmented memory are consistent with being drugged. However, urine and blood samples taken from the victim the night of the assault that could have proven that theory were not executed. Carroll said Angulo sent the samples to the lab on Jan. 17, 37 days after they were collected.

Carroll said her client remembered taking a shot given to her by someone she did not know. From that point on is when her memory became fragmented.

3. The Accuser's State of Mind

Carroll said her client was portrayed by the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) as being fine after reporting the incident. The medical records not given to the press showed she was given Valium to ease her anxiety. Carroll also said Angulo did not record a conversation he had with an outcry witness, who spoke with the accuser just after the incident. That outcry witness said the accuser was hysterical and phone records show she made several calls to friends and family that night.

4. Timing

Some reporters asked Carroll about the timing of her press conference, as it is the day before the announcement of the Heisman Trophy, an award Winston is favored to win. She said she is not concerned about football, but questioned whether or not Meggs could truthfully say the same.

Meggs previously said he is not letting the football schedule affect his decision, but he still ended his investigation after 13 days and just before final ballots for the Heisman were cast.

Carroll said she asked Meggs if he has issued a search warrant for Winston's and his friends' (who were also witnesses) phone records from the night in question. According to Carroll, he said he had not, but that he would try to do so. He later told her the records were not available, but Carroll contacted Verizon on her own and found out phone records are kept for a year. She alleged Meggs did not actively pursue the phone records.

5. The Accuser's Testimony

Carroll reiterated throughout the press conference that the investigation was almost solely focused on her client. She said too much attention was paid to the boyfriend in Ohio who the accuser claims to have had consensual sex with around the same time period, when that man's DNA would have little to do with the case. Further, that man's DNA would not be allowed in court to attack the accuser's character.

Carroll also said her client could not remember right away who her attacker was. If she was drugged, then it is highly unlikely for her to remember a name, but Carroll said she remembered the man's face. On the first day of classes, the accuser said she saw Winston walk into her classroom and recognized him as her attacker, but waited to hear his name in the instructor's roll call to identify him.

Throughout the press conference, Carroll reiterated she and her client are not pursuing a civil lawsuit at this time, but wanted the press to have accurate information. Carroll also fielded numerous question on how much football and Winston's status influenced the investigations of Angulo and Meggs.

"Sometimes it's not about football, it's just about rape," Carroll said. "The suspect just happens to be a football player."
