This doesn’t necessarily say anything about Ed’s character. What will be more telling is how he bounces back from this.
I know some people that have made a bad mistake and unfortunately received a DUI/DWI. They’re not bad people because of one choice, but they’re rather naive, self absorbed, and irrational when they make that decision.
Let’s hope the big guy can mature and grow from this.
