He _was_.
If the guy in question were not such a high profile celebrity and considering the fact that the lady has requested to drop the charges, I wonder if people would still react the way they do.
Will putting the guy in a US jail will do anything good for society ? Or is it just about him also getting a chance to get raped ?
What's funny is that he could eventually meet the killer of his wife and baby there. And they even might end up staying in jail until the end of their life together.
