As you may recall, police were investing a case where an 8 year old t-baller player said he was was told by his coach that the coach would pay him $25 if he hit an autistic teammate hard enough that the teammate left the field. The coach said he was just kidding. Here's an update on the case.

To summarize: The coach has been charged with two counts of criminal solicitation to commit aggravated assault and one count each of corruption of minors, criminal conspiracy to promote simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

The date for the jury trial has not yet been set.

Justice works sometimes, I guess!

Justice hasnt worked yet, he probably is out on bail and it only takes one stupid person to believe that he really was just kidding.

I hope he is found to be and proven guilty and that he is also punished appropriately.
