Last year while in Nevada for a celebrity golf tournament the well-known Steelers quarterback was accused of sexually assaulting a casino hostess. Now, with the Kobe Bryant case a few years back, Dirk Nowitzki's deadbeat criminal girlfriend, and even the over publicized Michael Jackson cases, it often leaves the public wondering if these people really are being victimized or if they are looking for a simple easy pay-day. I feel bad for the ones who were victimized but I am pissed off at the ones who falsly accuse. It is those people that make it so difficult for the ones who have been hurt because they look like liars and never find justice. Now, I am not saying that Roethlisberger is guilty or innocent, but if this is another "cry wolf" senario for a 5 minute lime-light then I think there should be consequences for trying to take advantage of the celebrity people. I think it is bogus that these people do not have to serve time or pay for their false police reports. I am not one to feel sorry for celebrities because in some cases they do it to themselves, they put themselves in the situations to be taken advantage of, but at the same time I do not think that because they have money for being talented that it should automatically be assumed that they committed the crime. On the other hand, if the celebrity is guilty they should have to serve the time just like any joe-shmoe on the street. I guess what I am trying to say is that no matter what a person's status is the legal system should have a blind eye to how they are looked upon by society and give justice to the ones who deserve it.
