The ability of De’Andre Johnson to ever get to the NFL depends initially on his ability to get into another college football program. His lawyer, Jose Baez, has begun the process of trying to rebuild Johnson’s image toward that end.
Baez, who helped gain an acquittal of Casey Anthony for the murder of her daughter in 2011, addressed with NBC News the brutal punch delivered by Johnson to the face of a female bar patron, an extreme act of violence that was caught on videotape.
“He makes no excuses for what happened,” Baez said of Johnson.
