From reading the stories in the papers and the quotes he has given, I think he knows that what he did was extremely wrong. I had the chance to meet him and talk to him for a minute and he seems like the kind of person that will take this experience and learn from it. If you were celebrity in this situation, I don't think anyone would do it again. Not only is he in trouble with the law, but his parents, his fans, his sponsors, his coach. He may have done one stupid thing, but I don't think he's dumb enough to do it again considering everything that he has on the line. He is at the start of an amazing career and I hope that one speed bump won't stop him.
