You get a visceral reaction from this statement because there is a kernel of truth in there. Johnson first learned that the woman wanted to charge him with rape via a letter from the school and immediately lawyered up. If Donaldson had immediately gotten a lawyer and said nothing to his victim he absolutely would be a free man right now, there is no question.
or perhaps....one was guilty and one was innocent. could that be the difference?
It could be.
