 * **Backlash-** After the conviction Taylor had to register as a sex offender. This is a title that he'll have to carry for the rest of his life and will affect the way people look at him as a human being for the rest of his life.
 * **Public perception-** Since Lt's convictions his public perception among the public has changed drastically. He is known as one of the greatest defensive players in the NFL of all time but people tend to look at him as more of a criminal now. His actions have greatly changed the memory people will always have of him
 * **Repercussions**- In Rockland County court, the former NFL linebacker received six years probation and was ordered to register as a sex offender. A hearing to determine the level at which Taylor must register as a sex offender has been set for April 12th. The former star linebacker plead guilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute.
 * **Aftermath** (reintegration back into society?)- Peoples perception on how he was as a NFL player will forever stand, but what he did off the field changed peoples whole opinion on him as a person. LT has gone on some talk shows to talk about what happened including FOX news to talk about the whole situation. If he is caught breaking the law in the next 6 years, then that is a violation against his probation.

 * Second Meeting- During the second session/meeting, we split up the rest of the questions that we had to complete by the end of the weekend. Erik has to do more on the celebrity sin, background, repercussions. Evan has to do Backlash, public perception and aftermath.
 * Third Meeting- We made an outline of what the IMovie should consist of and each person was given material that they were responsible for. Erik had to do the intro and the alligattions of LT and Evan had to do the interview.
 * **Letter assigned for conclusion-** "S" we gave this letter to LT because part of his punishment was to register as a sex offender. This letter along with registering as a sex offender will stick with him for the rest of his life. Both can never be taken away and people are going to see what you did and be able to make their own assumption on what kind of person you really are.
