Who knows, he maybe he is a diamond in the rough! We have all made mistakes in our lives. Some more egregious than others. Elam has paid and will continually to pay for his actions. Everyone deserves aleast a second chance in life... Look! at Don King for example... He served time for killing someone... Look at him now!!!!
I agree with giving people a second chance...but I also think that some offenses don't deserve a second chance...the one in question included.
Let me take this to a personal level for all of you...If the female that was sexually assaulted was your daughter or your sister, would you condone giving him a second chance? I know I wouldn't. Heck, if I ever got my hands on him, he'd be lucky to still be alive as far as I'm concerned.
As far as Don King is concerned...I don't know that anyone really gave him a second chance, I think he made his own second chance...that being said, he is argueably one of the most hated figures in all of sports.
