Good for Oliver. You never want to see anybody go down for a crime if they’re innocent, and the blood results don’t lie.
If the blood says Oliver wasn’t intoxicated, then you simply can’t charge him.

While I don’t know Oliver at all, I’m always pumped to see a guy get back to living his life as normally as possible.
Now that this whole situation is behind the Bills superstar, he can get back to focusing on playing football in the NFL.

Let’s hope he has a hell of a year for the Bills.
