LB Anthony Schlegel (Boar Hunter)

From 11 Warriors:

Idiot on the Field Enters No Guilty Plea, Demands Jury Trial

We last saw Anthony Wunder invading Ohio Stadium's field and getting dumped by strength coach Anthony Schlegel. (He was subsequently charged with criminal trespassing and immediately sent to the clink until Sunday, when his $79 bail was posted.)

Wunder is a senior mechanical engineering major and an Evans Scholar, a scholarship given to former caddies by the affluent Western Golf Association. As such, he has a bit to lose. (These are not the things you're thinking about when drinking lukewarm alcohol out of plastic bladder nestled up against your crotch.)

Wunder, despite the damning evidence against him, isn't going down without a fight. The 21-year-old was due in court today, but local criminal defense attorney Mark C. Collins, on his client's behalf, entered a 'Not Guilty' plea and a "demand" for a jury trial.

Collins is the same lawyer who represented former tight end Jake Stoneburner and former offensive lineman Jack Mewhort when the duo was pinched in Dublin for urinating in public.

Despite the flagrancy of the violation, criminal trespassing is "only" a fourth-degree misdemeanor publishable by a maximum 30 days in jail. While the retention of Collins all but ensures Wunder won't see another day in jail, the criminal defense lawyer's play is obvious: push the date back and make this case more trouble than it's worth to city prosecutors.

It'll be interesting to see if the prosecutors are willing to "play ball".

I'm guessing here that they will drop the charges as long as he agrees to not counter sue. If the prosecutor doesn't "play ball" his next step will be to visit an orthopedic doctor (or chiropractor) and claim a back injury.

Note: There are doctors out there that will substantiate any patients claim of injury (like severe pain in back from body slam) and back injuries are pretty much impossible to disprove.

The kid is losing his scholarship...

Damn your eyes for tempting me to click an E!spn link. :(

Here's the interesting stuff, so the rest of you don't need to click it:

Coach Urban Meyer said he had a somewhat serious conversation with Schlegel about the hit.
"I appreciated him protecting our players," Meyer told reporters earlier this week. "[But] I'd rather him not have a lawsuit if something bad would happen, you drill a guy like that.
"So we had a partial-serious conversation. And we also gave him a 'Hit City' award, our team, and had a little fun with it, too."

:urban2:
Collins told The Columbus Dispatch that Wunder is doing well.
"He's working and focusing on day-to-day stuff and letting me handle this [legal] stuff," Collins said.
The attorney wouldn't say why Wunder ran onto the field or whether Schlegel's tackle was too hard.
"Those are things we're going to look at and issues we're going to address," he told the newspaper.

i.e. once we determine whether we/I can monetize my client's stupidity, we'll announce whether or not we'll sue.

So this chucklehead is compounding his drunken error by costing taxpayers mucho dinero by insisting upon jury trial to "defend" himself against a crime seen by millions on television and over 100,000 live spectators.

Hope he gets a few days in pound-him-in-the-ass prison to learn some life lessons he appears to have missed in his formative years.

Look at comments under articles about him losing his scholarship. Judges tend to believe that dumb actions should have consequences. Enough other people don't that some knucklehead juror is likely to refuse to convict. Annoying to demand the jury trial, but it's good lawyering.

I figured their strategy was to string it out... so he'd continue with scholly as long as possible since he's a senior...
string it out till next March and he's home free

Good thing the Evans Scholars don't need to wait for "due process" (God, I feel like Ped Stater typing "due process" :lol:)

Collins said that Wunder was told yesterday by the Evans Scholars program that Wunder has lost his scholarship with the program. Collins also said that Wunder is no longer living in the Evans Scholars house.
