 To try to defuse the public backlash, Bron Studios hired The Glover Park Group and Don McPherson to give Parker media training and public relations advice.In an October 2016 "60 Minutes" interview, Parker maintained that he was innocent of the crime and that he did not feel guilty about it, but conceded that, from the perspective of a 36-year-old man, he had done something morally wrong.In August 2016, Parker was honored with the Sundance Institute's Vanguard Award.
