The optics on this statement by the attorney is bad, and easily interpreted with racial connotations. The problem with simplifying it to that level, is that as an attorney their responsibility lies solely with their current client, which is the victim’s family. Sadly, for their case to be built as well as possible…

Not claiming it is right but is this not basically what a lawyer, any lawyer, representing a client would do? He is not a paladin (maybe crusader? Not sure that is the right English word) for anyone but the client. These days, especially with the media, attorneys go over the top about their clients, try to push some…

Also, the “punishment” he has received for repeated charges of violent behavior amounted to a few thousand dollars in fines and a couple months in jail. (County jail, not prison.) He has almost certainly bribed and coerced witnesses to keep himself out of trouble.

And then runs around effectively calling his accuser a liar. Fuck him. why is he even relevant, even to a shithouse operation like ESPN.
