Anyone else would be back at work monday morning in the Ray Rice situation. if you're not applying for a job, don't need to apply for a security clearance, or your're not in jail no one is looking into your background for charges before you can get it removed from your record. Rice is being punished for being a celebrity. Co-workers in the cubicles across from people at their jobs do community service after work and and the weekends for misdemeanors...and employers would not even know.
