Weird, was just reading about this.
I watched the video of a friend of theirs, Michael Nodianos, laughing about it on YouTube, too, saying things like "she was deader than Caylee Anthony" and "it wasn't really rape because you don't know if she wanted to do it". Watch below:
Can't believe they only got a year (well one got 2 for distributing photos) to be honest... and hope this isn't the end of the story. The coach in particular appears to have given them the impression that he could make the story go away... football culture is worryingly fraternal and willing to brush over these things for the sake of their futures. There was an interesting article on 'jock culture' in Forbes:

Either way, their lives are ruined. Oddly Ma'lik appears to be remorseful... there was a report somewhere that he approached the family of the victim in tears... it just seems so appalling that they're the only two parties sentenced so far. The people in the video are equally disgusting.
