One of the first things I was told in my first job in the legal world was something to the effect of this:
"You're going to come across people that are not normal." I was like, yeah I know some people aren't normal. They were like, no you don't understand, these people seriously don't know any better, and sometimes there's nothing anyone can do to "help them." You see them one time in court, then you'll see them again and again. You can't expect them to think like you or me. Their brain doesn't function that way.
Pacman sounds like one of those. Normal people, when their livelihood is at risk, they change... they wake up. People like this don't care. No amount of punishment will ever change them. If Pacman is one of these people, and it sounds like he is, he will inevitably end up banned from the NFL forever. But that will be the least of his worries, because he will also inevitably end up in prison.
All that said, the guy still has rights. The Constitution doesn't say due process is for normal people only. He won't be in prison before being afforded due process.
That reminds me of a lawyeer joke
A guy walks up to a house of ill repute, see, and ax for Tara
Tara comes up and says "I charge $5,000 for a night of companionship"
The guy says OK, "Here's $5,000, I want to give the money to you" and they share a great evening toether
The next night the same thing
The third night he comes up and ax for Tara
Tara comes up and says "I can't believe you are back knowing my fee is $5,000 per evening!" But she accepts it and they have a third great night of companionship
Late that night the guy says goodbye and thanks Tara
Tara, hopeful of more big money, ax: "Will I see you tomorrow, big spender?"
"No," the guy says "I'm your uncle's lawyer and he wanted to bequeath you that $15,000 I gave you"
Here is a good one: A horse walks into a bar
The bartender looks at the horse and ax: "Why the long face?"
