Good thoughts. Well for one, our legal system doesn't treat athletes like average people because we don't treat them like average people.
Unfortunately, money can buy you freedom in this country. In this case, however, I think he'll be prosecuted, if not to the full extent of the law, enough to make the average Joe happy about it.
