Interesting story, but I am wondering why Marcus would have taken a plea if he did not in fact attack a woman and call her a "n****R?
The story simply does not make sense.
Yeah. Seconded.
Racism is the ultimate scarlet letter in this day and age aside from Pedo.
I might have taken a plea saying that I had sexually assaulted a poodle before I would have signed a plea saying I assaulted somebody and called them a racial slur if it didn’t happen.
He did, in fact, attack a woman. That’s the point of the story: that he transformed his life, got professional help, and righted his ship.
Now a bunch of internet hooligans decided that they’d destroy his life and professional ambitions on pure political motives.
I’m writing the UVA admissions committee. It will likely change precious little, but it seems a bit unfair to target this man unless he attempted to lie about it on his application where it asks if one has ever been charged with a crime.
According to the article, he does not deny the accusation.
"I write this story not as an excuse for Marcus’ actions. There is no excuse. Marcus would be the first to admit this, and he has, many times."
try reading the story again. He admits to the assualt.
looks like he took an “alford plea” and the us atty gave him a deferred sentencing. if he completed the prosecutor’s requirements on time they would drop the case
