Message: [QUOTE="chugg21, post: 2003025, member: 3360"] He got suspended for a year, charged with a misdemeanor, put on probation, did community service and counseling. She was the initial physical aggressor and I don't believe was punished by the courts in any way. Her physical punishment was brutal but I also agree that you shouldn't put your hands on another person and if she did not do so then this story doesn't exist. Not defending his actions by any means as they were completely inexplicable and disgusting. His punishment seems reasonable to me. He wasn't shown any favoritism because of his status as an athlete as far as I can tell and I am fine with him continuing his career as any other person would likely be able to do so. If put in the same situation today, I would certainly expect him to react in a different manner and that is what the point of the justice system is. [/QUOTE]
