Sure. Stand still.

Careful, it strikes his curiosity to kill people.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Lighty, an OSU freshman, will ?plea by way of information? in the county prosecutor's office Wednesday to a charge of assault, a first-degree misdemeanor, said Wendy A. Clawson, a spokeswoman for the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office. The plea is an admission of guilt before the case is taken to court, Clawson said.

An Ohio State athletics department spokesman said Lighty and the school will wait to comment until after Lighty enters his plea Wednesday.

that stinks.

So it looks like he was the trigger man.

he is still a kid and really didn't hurt anyone.

I just hope he learns from this because he is special and has a God given talent and has unfinished business at OSU

so now he will have to go to trial.

that could be bad.

but the charges did seem extreme.

assault come on. maybe MM disorderly at best for the shooter only but no they tried to trump the charges.

 

[BB73]

so now he will have to go to trial.

Why a trial? That quoted article says he plans to plead guilty next month.

 

[EastSide]

Why a trial? That quoted article says he plans to plead guilty next month.

Well it does say that my bad.

I am just reading into it that he was originally to plead guilty on Wed but that changed as they will seek a better deal or go to trial.

A prank is hardly assault and for him to plead guilty to assault is ludacris. sp

A prank is hardly assault and for him to plead guilty to assault is ludacris. sp

I think that David would just like to get all of this behind him and that is why he is pleading guilty to the charge of assault.

Lighty and former teammates plead guilty in BB gun shooting

Ohio State University basketball player David Lighty and two of his former teammates from Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School pleaded guilty today to charges related to them shooting a jogger with a toy BB gun that fired plastic pellets.

Callahan could have hit the three 19 year olds with jail time today for their guilty pleas. Instead, the judge hit them with fines -- $250 for Lighty's conviction on a first-degree-misdemeanor count of assault, and $100 for McLeod and Rushton, who pleaded guilty to the minor misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct.

All three are now 19, and they did nothing dumb in court today. They appeared as somber as their funereal suits, flanked by an armada of lawyers that included one of Ohio's most influential attorneys, Frederick Nance.

They all hung their heads as they apologized -- "to Mr. Nugent, to my family, my community and my school," as Lighty said. And they promised they'd never appear in a courtroom again, as defendants.

Yeah, this brands Dave as a career criminal, shooting low-velocity plastic projectiles at people ...

 

[briegg]

Small town crime from a kid transitioning from small town to big time athletics. Seemed very contrite in response to this issue. I would be extremely suprised to see anything but positives from DL from this point forward. Nothing to see here (except clutch 3's in the NCAA).
