The case will now be sorted out in a court of law,as the request by Storm
Klein's attorneys to dismiss the case was denied and the hearing will proceed
on Monday, August 20th as originally scheduled.

It's kind of a moot point now, as his August 20 hearing has now been
rescheduled for September 24th. Whatever slim hope he may have had to
be reinstated has likely ended.


. . .and the saga continues. This morning ( Wed. 8/22 ) Storm Klein, in a plea agreement, decided
to plead guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct which is a 4th degree misdemeanor. His original
charge of assault and domestic violence was a 1st degree misdemeanor. He was placed on 18 months probation
and ordered to pay court costs.

His rationale for pleading guilty today instead of waiting for the revised court appearance of September 24th was
due to the fact that the season would already be ready for the 5th game before he even was able to testify before
a judge. So even if he was cleared of all charges the season would already by a third of the way over by then. I guess
he is now throwing himself to the mercy of Urban Meyer as to whether he has any chance to be reinstated based on the
4th degree misdemeanor he plead guilty to today. The judge based her decision on his absence of a prior record, concern for his actions and an unclear description on exactly what really happened from the victim.

If Coach Meyer would reinstate him, which would surprise me, he has missed all pre-season practice, already lost his starting position to a more deserving player, even before the incident and I'm sure the coach would place him at "the
end of the line" to even gain some playing time eventually and likely some form of internal punishment as well. I think the
one thing he may have in his favor is the fact the Bucks are pretty thin at the line backer position once you look past
the three starters and he could provide some depth and experience if some injuries would occur during the season.

This whole thing STINKS. The woman was abused by a man who she will always be associated with because of the Child they share together and she is trying to do what she can so this Monster won't hurt her much worse the next time.......and you all know there will be a next time very soon.....Very,Very Soon!!!

[nerker]

Salsa, Since the charges we're dropped you should drop it too.

[occdad1964]

with this kid's history i'd guess something happened but she reconciled with him or got paid off to change her story - or both.

see the link below that was posted earlier showing that this is the second time this kid has "allegedly" assaulted someone - where there's smoke, there's fire.

Urban Meyer has no credibility in my book and with this move essentially feels violence against women is acceptable - as long as someone agrees to "lesser charges" and/or someone can get the victim to mysteriously change her story.

still all about winning though isn't it???

[tcsoup]

I don't think Storm Klein will have any bearing on how much winning or losing OSU does this year or any other. Expect him to be buried on the depth charts and offer very little in the way of contribution to the success of the team.
Just maybe Meyer gives Klein the punishment he deserves in his own way.

Sounds kinda like some on here are Judge and Jury for the Coach and OSU also.

Not a problem with me....I just won't read your book.

Battered women usually always come back. A very unfortunate part of the problem.
She had a child with the POS and doesn't want to sacrifice future relations by being the root cause of the end of his buckeye aspirations.
Anybody who steps into finish off and beat a young man to a pulp after your DE buddy already had started and finished the fight then later physically accosts the mother of your child belongs in the woods.

Really nice to Mr. Klein back in the line-up ....how convenient. Nice message you're sending to battered women, Urban. this story ended the same way it did a couple years ago when Klein and Williams beat the pulp out that kid a then Tressel swept it under the rug. Thugs and big football $$$ rules, don't they?

[roll_red_roll]

Did he even play today?

He has started the last 2 games at MLB, he does nothing that's why you didn't notice he is out there. If Grant is not hurt, there is no way that he is worse than Klein.

final end of year results show that both Klein and Williams are both over-rated

[tcjr8]

Willaims is most certainly not overrated

[usapatriot1776]

Klein is a punk off the field and useless on it.

Frankly, when I coached in Ohio, our team played against his Licking Valley team a number of times. He was a good football player, and lived up to his reputation on the field. Unfortunately good athletes need to understand that they are always in the spotlight and their lives magnified 100x more than the average Joe. Guess this one (like hundreds of others) didn't get the memo.
