8 years in jail for this if convicted!?!? what a joke
what is going on with the world right now?? this is straight from bizzaro world. lets ruin the kids life over this, great idea! i was curious to your guys thoughts on this. Watch the video below: #6 is taking the field and bumps into a band member and now got indited on felony assault! wtf!?!?!
Northern Illinois athletics director Jeff Compher said freshman linebacker Jamaal Bass' status on the football team has not changed after criminal charges were filed Friday for hitting Toledo band members exiting the field before a November football game. "As the legal proceedings in Toledo involving NIU football player Jamaal Bass are ongoing, we will reserve any comment until that process is complete," Compher said in a news statement released by NIU on Monday night. "Jamaal is currently enrolled at Northern Illinois and his status with the football program has not changed." Bass was indicted by a Lucas County grand jury Friday on one count of felonious assault and one count of misdemeanor assault, according to a report Monday in the Toledo Blade. The felonious assault charge carries a maximum sentence of up to eight years in prison. Bass can be seen on a recording of the incident jumping shoulder-first into the face of a band member and knocking over another as his team ran onto the field as the band exited. The incident prompted NIU coach Dave Doeren to issue a statement apologizing to the Rocket marching band and the University of Toledo. In that statement, the university said Bass was to be suspended from the following game, but the expension was extended to three games after NIU learned the band members received concussions. The case has been assigned to Judge James Jensen although an arraignment date has not yet been set, according to the Blade report. http://www.huskiewire.com/articles/2...2699/index.xml Last edited by NIUhuskies; 03-20-2012 at 08:40 PM.. |

The Max is 8 years, if this is his first offense, it should be dealt with fines and community service. He will plea and they'll remove the felonious assault.
Misdemeanor - Up to 30 days in Jail; and/or Fine of up to $1,500. Edit - non story --- |

he was jumping around all hyped up like most kids taking the field. the band needs to get their asses off the field. i dont condone trying to hurt anybody, but the kid served a 3 game suspension for it already. charging him w a felony just seems a little ridiculous. i cant believe the state of ohio will go after him for this

Agree with carlos3652. Will be plead down to drop felony (stupid charge) and likely probation for misdemeanor. Still, even the misdemeanor is pretty crappy. Think the coach handled it fine. Should be no reason for legal action.

Rocket marching band trampled by NIU players Posted: Nov 02, 2011 9:13 PM CDT Updated: Nov 16, 2011 10:50 PM CST 13abc.com Amy Montgomery - bio | email The University of Toledo marching band had a rough encounter with the Northern Illinois University football team Tuesday night. Several players were knocked to the ground, and left the field with some bumps and bruises. Dylan Johnson is a freshman at UT. He plays the trumpet in the Rocket marching band. He said, "we always march off from pre-game and then have to run around the sidelines and the other team ran onto the field before we were off." The whole incident was caught on tape. At least one band member falls to the ground and another looks like they were hit in the face. "Some people got knocked around," Johnson said. "There was one girl who had an ice pack on her ankle but was fine later that night." But the big issue was when NIU linebacker, Jamaal Bass, appears to intentionally throw his shoulder into a band member. After the administration at Northern Illinois saw the video, Bass was suspended from the Huskie's next game against Bowling Green State University. In a letter of apology, the Huskie's head coach, Dave Doerer wrote, "I know that a public apology cannot undo what happened Tuesday night, but know that we are very embarrassed and take full responsibility for the situation. I will do whatever is necessary to ensure that something like this never occurs again." As far as the University of Toledo, officials have not made a comment, except to say they are gathering more information about the incident. All of the band members were at practice Wednesday afternoon. We're told their injuries were very minor. In the meantime, the band has changed up their pre-game routine, so something like this doesn't happen again. http://www.13abc.com/story/15941007/...type=printable |
