Also, releasing the video removed any leverage the victim's attorney may have hoped to gain in negotiating their settlement by threatening to release it just before the NFL draft.

I guess we'll just disagree if you think Joe and his legal team ever wanted that video to see the light of day. They did make a calculated move 2 years after the incident about 1 week after the OK Supreme Court ordered it to be released. IMO you and PDub are demonstrating that the tactic worked with some. 

Hell if all we ever heard was Ray Rice and his wife had a physical altercation in an elevator he'd had a much longer NFL career.

I've saved judgment on this older case (in this thread) and this most recent altercation, but I just disagree that Joe and his team ever wanted that video public until they had no choice. WTS, we must remember that the bar incident was not his first incident of aggression toward a female. He did so when a parking attendant gave him a ticket. Ironically enough and corollary to this current case. part of the aggression was carried out with his vehicle.
