Hind sight will always be 20/20 but I think most would agree, looking back now that he got screwed over and railroaded.

Would be the 4 I would put up against Kobe, but you're right, he's come a long way from Colorado.

Right now, he's the "anti-Cos."

On that one case, for sure. I never believed he raped that girl. I believe him now - when he's already done his time, and admits to a lot of terrible behavior in his past, he credibly maintains his innocence in this matter. I'll say this, he has convinced himself and that makes him an even more credible witness.

Mike Tyson was convicted and spent 3 years in jail for rape. Are you really refuting that?

The rape thing blew over because everyone knew it was a sleazy money grab. Yes he cheated, but guess what? Most powerful men cheat and in today's society more men and women are cheating.

No, I was like 4. But that isn't my point. He was convicted of rape and served three years in the pen. That's hard to come back from.

People used to absolutely abhor Bush 43 now I think most would much rather him in office than the arse clown we have now.

Well there were more than allegations. There was enough evidence that felony sexual assault charges were actually filed against him. He's come a long way back.

Lewis is a scumbag, if he didn't do the deed he was certainly present and a party to it, he's at the least a perjurer, and obstructor of justice)may have been charged with that, too lazy yo look it up,)
