we don,t know more than a newspaper article. If for example context and evidence get factored in then perhaps the narrative in the heads of those that assume the worst may end up finding out something other than the worst. There is good reason why we have a legal system that assumes innocence till proven otherwise. This is a case for due process based on evaluating evidence, not guilt by media reports. That said, it is quite troubling to learn. Michael has always been a gentleman and friendly outside of his private world.
By the way this argument against x ducks is ridiculous. When you have teams with100s of former people, chance alone would suggest it being likely that some will end up incarcerated. I'm sure if someone was interested enough he or she could research out say the former track athletes the Pac 10 and compare incarceration rates , and find that not one school has any meaningful rate that is much different statistically from the average.
