The Chron reports that the D.A. over Marshawn Lynch’s case has decided not to press charges, citing a lack of evidence and inconsistent statements to police.

You know the allegations are tenuous when it’s resolved after one day. But just how thread-like were they?

* A mutual friend told police the incident didn’t happen.
* No signs of injury.
* No photographs to document injury.

No one is saying the accuser wasn’t full of shit, but the D.A. must act responsibly:

bq. “No one is saying that the victim isn’t entitled to the feelings she’s having, but I have an ethical obligation,” she said. “If I don’t believe I can prove it to 12 jurors, then I can’t ethically charge the case.”

But the accusations don’t stop. She also said that she was supposed to go to the NFL, whatever that means:

bq. “He told me I f — everything up, that we were supposed to get married, and ‘You were supposed to come with me to the NFL,’ ” said the woman, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
