If you were the one in Charles Van Doren’s shoes, do you think you would do the same? (Confess your guilt on TV)

I think i won't do the same as Charles Van Doren's shoes. I won't confess my guilty. As ntLam mentioned, i'll be silence and keep it as a secret. We, as a nation tend to rake celebrities and politicians across the coals for things that we do every day. We think little of abusing them or "bringing them down". But, how do we know we'd act differently in their situation? Maybe We might just do the exact same things. Sometimes, I think that's why we are so self-righteous about it, because at the end of the day, we're all the same. We're all selfish.
Maybe i'll just walk away silently. This is what i'll do.

So, Do anyone have any others opinions or comments?
