The kid was convicted, served time (minus 2 months) required to register every 6 months per the count and judge sentence.

Who to blame for this, let start with the guy who sign off on getting this kid out 2 months early, who did that?
Lets talk about a Liberal court system, lawyer and judge wanting to do what right but missed the target of common sense.

Blame the people and yourself who let Lawyers, Judges and Government System that so diluted our court system with skewed laws, over regulation and conflicting legal verbiage they don’t understand.

This kid is out playing ball because the system tht protects the criminal not the victim or the community that was violated … Perfect example of multiple DUI, Felons, Child Abuse, Domestic Violence offender out on the street, just waiting to do their deed again at tax payer, victim, family and innocent citizen expense.

Apparently, the Steubtards are just a wee bit different as far as that goes.

His sentence is not over, he's just no longer in jail.

Mulva;1643509 wrote:Fair point. Poor phrasing on my part. The court has deemed that he's ready to be assimilated back into society. I wouldn't have any problem if the team had decided not to let him back, but I also don't see any problem with allowing him to return. I think its naive (and counterproductive) to think that he should be shunned by the world.

Perhaps he should have been allowed to join the team as a student trainer. If he does that job, maybe he earns a uniform later in the year, but doesn't see the field, etc. etc.

You do understand that we're talking about an unusual situation, right?

sherm03;1643525 wrote:This is my thinking. You can try to blame the school. But if there is no rule in place prior to this happening, you can't really blame them for letting him play. Especially with it being a public school. You're asking for a lawsuit telling him he can't play since he did his time.

But the parents (or in this case, guardians) are big time pieces of shit for letting him play. My parents would have never let me near any extra curricular activities if I had gotten into trouble like this while I was in high school.

The better question would be, if he's been locked up for the past 10 months, how is he eligible to play? I'm sure he was taking some coursework while he was in jail. But was it enough for him to be eligible for athletic participation?
