here, we have someone taking responsibility in a very public way sending a message to people. both of you guys are taking a side when there really was outrage. you know what, as far as i m concerned, an arraignment is an arraignment. i understand how the public would be non-lawyers and say hey, walt a minute, this guy played the system. but here s the more interesting i shall shoe to me. do we now have social media being used as a way to confess to a crime in the hopes of getting a belter offer from the prosecution or the court. my position doesn t change. if people can use social media to affect positive change and potentially right the wrong, they re committed if they re serious about it. if you re trying to play the system, it s a different story. but if you can use it for positive change to try to fix something that you ve done, i don t have a problem with it. richard, are we in a scenario
