Well, the T-ball coach who paid his player to bean a disabled kid
is now out on bond. I heard on tv this morning that his grandma put her house up as collateral for his bond. :eyes:

<snip>
A Fayette County Common Pleas judge yesterday set bail for a T-ball coach who hired an 8-year-old to hurl baseballs at an autistic teammate.

If former coach Mark R. Downs Jr. posts bail, he will be freed from jail pending an appeal of his conviction.

Judge Ralph C. Warman yesterday set bail at $30,000.

The judge also ordered Mr. Downs, who had requested the bail hearing, to comply with normal conditions of his bond, including restrictions on traveling outside the state without permission of the court.

getting us out of jail if we deserved to be there!

3. Crap. I was hoping the second line might have been "committed suicide"
or "was killed in prison".

4. While this isn't worthy of the death penalty,
if his fellow prisoners had elected to "bean" him, I wouldn't have shed too many tears.
