The whole situation is hard – and not too unlike what happened with Domo Hatfield (Not the crime, just the situation) – everyone wants him not to play, but the legal process hasn’t even run its course except for the plaintiff’s attorney to hold a press conference with a torn bag.
I’m not sure how it will ultimately work out, but he’s in an unenviable position; and perhaps he put himself there. If so, then he deserves all the vitriol that has been leveled at him, but its still early in the process from what I’ve read, and the early reports were that the rape kit came back negative other than for dna under the victim’s fingernails.
