He has also said the he knows it was wrong, he is ashamed, he wants to be a role model and he wants to work with the HS to save many more animals than he has killed.

Well everyone does have issues whether you want to admit to it or not. They are all at different levels and no, we don't all kill dogs.

I'll tell you what. Go spend two years in Leavenworth and then tell me if a couple years of probation or being locked up is worse.

HE TOOK A HUMAN LIFE and got a slap on the wrist from the state. He also failed the NFL's drug test. The hardest part is losing your drivers license but not when you are a millionaire and can easily have a chauffeur drive you around which is what he should have done in the first place.

He paid his debt to society.

You won't accidentally get drunk and accidentally get behind the wheel of a car either.

Speculation but not unreasonable to think.

Bottom line is he has the endorsement of a man that is said to be incapable of lying. Dungy said he is remorseful and I tend to believe him.
Actions speak louder than words so we will all see. Is he sorry he tortured animals or is he sorry he got caught and lost hundreds of millions of dollars?
Time will tell. He may be conning everyone but a con job won't stand the test of time. Frankly, I've heard him speak before and he's not that smart.
We'll see if he can stay away from the thugs he used to run with. That will be the true test.
