There's going to be no assault when it's all over. This is why you have an attorney. The argument can be made by the defense that they had no business putting him in a shared cell at that point in time knowing his state of mind. It won't go that far. This isn't the most serious of crimes. It probably happens multi times an evening, maybe not the exact actions, but some variation of them.
The criminal charges are the easy part. What the University will do and the humiliation of having these videos easily accessed by the public will be the real price he pays. Does he have the intestinal fortitude to take the time to go through the humiliation and embarrassment from the community and humbling himself and staying at UD(which if he does, I'm guessing they would take him back after some sort of suspension or one year expulsion) will be the real question.

Speaking for myself only, I would rather have the open scholly than a remorseful Sam Miller. The time for him to be remorseful was when the cops showed up. Yeah I know he was drunk but that and what came after is 100% his responsibility. He needs to get his life together and UD needs to move on. Not saying it is right or wrong but Sam's lack of production has to at least be a subconscious consideration.
