I just think that if it was me in his shoes, it would be a very different outcome.
Maybe so ... but if it was me in his shoes, or any member of my family, it would have been the same outcome.
because you could afford this type of lawyer. Not everyone can.
What evidence do you have that the type of lawyer that Bryant had was the deciding factor ... from what I read, this was a decision that the crown made after seeing the facts about the so-called victim - facts that the investigators themselves discovered.
I'm not saying that being able to afford an expensive lawyer doesn't ever make a difference - but in this case there seems to be good reason for the charges to be dropped; reasons that would have the charges dropped no matter who the accused was.
