You have a point. Most of us did some did some dumb stuff in college we wouldn't want all over the media.

I guess what bothers me about the "exoneration" is that these guys were all born with silver spoons in their mouths and now we are expected to view them as not only wrongly accused but victims themselves. I hear the sound of big money talking. It always does.
