Reply #19: Of course not. But he has other rights, like due process.

The NFL disciplinary committee is not such due process. A DA's office, is not due process. A jury is due process. In cases of domestic violence, a DA is able to press charges even against the will of the battered spouse. This is an unrelated adult American citizen who has chosen not to press charges. That unrelated adult American citizen has ensured that Haynesworth remains a free man under the American system of government. I said, I don't know what a DA can do in this situation. Obviously you have visual evidence on TV. But how do you assess damage?

The DA can't just casually demand the victim's medical records. The victim has rights, too, as inconvenient as that may be to the rest of us and our sense of justice.
