This great athlete and good student as you call him made bad choices. First he was not the great athlete and he was an average student as has been reported in the paper. I have read in the paper he could have been charged with rape, as the girl reported she was semi-comatose when he had intercourse with her after the bj. My understanding of the molestation and rape laws he got charged with the lesser of the two. Once again he was offered a plea deal where he would not have served but the 2 years but still would have had to register. From reports I have read the mother is the one who pressed the issue of prosecution. She provided all the boys names and made sure the tape was provided to the DA. She than found out the amount of time he would get, during the trial, and she tried to get all charges dropped. According to what has been reported in the paper and the local TV news she could have been charge with neglect.

You make the statement if she would have been white he would have gotten life. I expect more from a lawyer but there was a case in Ga where the girl was white and under age the promising black superstar took the plea deal of 2 years.

I never said the sentence was fair, I just pointed out that you don't know the facts and are ranting.
