PDD.95: Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback, Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl champion, alleged rapist of a Georgia girl, was slapped on the wrist.

The district attorney, who does not represent the alleged victim but represents the State of Georgia, reportedly stated there was not enough evidence to prosecute the jock.

What if...........instead of first showering or calling the police or calling Rape Crisis or making any statements at all, the alleged victim contacted an attorney with a backbone, and this attorney, representing her (his client), monitored the whole criminal-justice process involving his client's cooperation with law enforcement from beginning to end?

Question: Would the district attorney's decision have been different?
