If Derrick Rose is guilty of what he is being accused of, it goes without saying that would make him a criminal and vile human being.
It is likely though we will never know for sure, because there is no physical evidence and it is his word against hers.
They are both saying two completely different things and it is just a matter of who you believe.
Rose gave his side of the story at Knicks media day.
Derrick Rose: "Of course I don't want to be in this position but it is what it is. I'll let my lawyers and my team handle it."

Rose: "I really haven't been thinking about (the trial)… It's something I can't think about… It's not true. I will be proven innocent."

Rose: "I'm not worried about it. I feel like I haven't done anything wrong."
