Baker And Bowman Bound Over For Trial
January 17, 2008 by Run Up The Score!
Legal tumbleweeds from Centre County, connected with the fight involving football players, a black fraternity’s “party walk”, and uh…frontin’.
Baker, 20, of Windsor, Conn., and Bowman, 19, of District Heights, Md., were suspended the last two games of the season because of their legal trouble.
Assistant District Attorney Steve Sloane said prosecutors will decide in the next two weeks whether to charge a third suspect.
Prosecutors are also weighing whether to ask a judge to revoke bail for Baker, Sloane said. The player was already awaiting trial on charges related to an off-campus fight in April when he was accused of assault during the fraternity party in October.
That decision could come by the end of the week, Sloane said.
In an unrelated case, defensive back Willie Harriott, 20, of New Haven, Conn., waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday on charges of driving under the influence and speeding, stemming from a Nov. 11 arrest in Ferguson Township. A trial will be scheduled for spring.
Considering that the underlying incident occurred in October, none of this will count for Fulmer Cup purposes.
It may not count. However, there is an argument to be made that since charges have been re-filed during the Fulmer Cup season that they should count.
Hollaatchyo lawya!
