This whole incident has damage control written all over it from the moment they "observed redness on her chest, but she said she wasn't strangled". I doubt we ever get the straight facts on this one, and bet he's back on the Bruins quicker than you'd think.

Innocent until proven guilty is reserved for everyone, not just people that are deemed guilty by the court of public opinion.
I don't think anyone should make excuses, and it certainly doesn't look good, but there are been far too many incidents where people's lives were ruined because the court of public opinion dealt out judgements one way or the other, and in the end were wrong.
