Trials Joined, Baker Could Be Jailed

There is another chapter of the Baker, Bowman saga unfolding this week. The CDT is reporting that the trials have been joined for the two wayward ex-players. So they will both be tried in the same proceeding. This gives the prosecution a number of advantages, particularly with regards to statements either of the players may have made.

Also, Baker will appear in court again on Friday where the judge will hear arguments to reject his bail. As you may remember, Baker was out on bail for his involvement in the PSU player brawl from the Meridian apartments last April. As he is now facing more felony charges he allegedly committed while on felony release, his likelihood of remaining a free man seems slim.

Nothing beats an update on criminal proceedings in Happy Valley. Sigh.

GO STATE! STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!

Baker & Bowman Charges Refiled

The Center County District Attorney has decided to refiled charges against Baker and Bowman for the HUB fight which occurred back in October. (WJACTV has some video of very official looking papers!) The felony charges were originally dismissed for lack of evidence by Judge Carme Prestia back in December, however, the charges are back and better than ever!

I don't know if this counts towards the Fulmer Cup. An argument could be made either way. The incident certainly did not occur during the off-season, however, charges were filed after the end of the season. Decisions, decisions.

GO STATE!
