.. it is occured far too often where athletes and celebrities in general have had lighter scentences, probation, and minimal charges to serious offenses.. it's almost like the law does not apply to them in some cases... At my age, I wouldn't consider any athlete a hero and I hope that the younger kids don't either, although it is sometimes very difficult to do so when all you see is there on court persona... On another note, has the pic of the "victim" been released?

Are they allowed to release the details of the victim in the US ?
In the UK anyone who claims sexual assault can request their identity to be kept secret ......

I've always thought that, if a case brought to civil court was found to be frivolous the plaintiff should be fined some percentage of the amount that they are suing for. This would keep so much garbage out of the civil court system, as it would require that people be responsible for their actions.
You HAVE to remember that the pic in my avatar isn't really me!
