I'm wondering who posted bail for these kids? DAD?
my thinking is that Ball didn't kype anything, but just stood by the side of his fellow player(s) who did the bad deed. I mean, the family's rich and he don't need to be the 5 finger job.

I don't know how true it was but I read DAD was going to hold a press conference on the subject but the Lawyer advised him not to do it and the presser was canceled. Why feed fuel unto the Fiya!, heh? Let the Chinese work this out without the JAWING saying these kids were innocent, railroaded falsely accused, etc.. But to just wait to see what the Chinese Authorities conclude.
imo, China's softening with it's President, they know where the wealth comes from, in Peace, Money which brings wealth, power, etc., = TRADE, thats where everything will come from

This Chinese President got it right, look how he's dealt with the Indian/Chinese border dispute and now N.Korea finally doing something to make the North give up it's Nuke program.
