Listening to his interview and watching the entire video, the single punch doesn't tell the whole story.
We don't know what was said, and the victim initiated physical contact. Deandre seems well spoken, and while this was a mistake and a severe violation against the way men should conduct themselves, he will be found not guilty in the legal system. Because she insitgated. I'm a small guy that can't fight; if I pick a fight with a guy much bigger than me and get torn up, am I not also at fault?
Does he have a criminal past? A quick google search didn't show anything.
If you watch the interview, you see a guy who was well raised by his mother, had a moment of indiscretion, but is otherwise quite mature for an 18 year old. Only reason we kicked him off the team is because of PR, and I hate that. He's going to be found not guilty for the same misdemeanor that Dalvin Cook will be found not guilty for. Dangerous precedent we are setting here.
