If the only reason to be granted clemency (means crime wiped from record) is to allow the individual to play a sport is wrong. They couldn't just parole him because the only college that wanted him was out of state. Jailed in VA and attended Georgetown (Maryland?).
We have rules and laws in this country. No sport star, celebrity or president should rise above the law. I was living in Hampton, VA when he the events occured and I was apalled at what he did. When the Governor let him off I was iritated. When he went to Georgetown and Dean Smith greeted him with open arms I realised the fix was in.
I don't think I will change my opinion, ever. My opinion and that is it.
