The Death Pool – Special Report – Former Junior Player Wins Appeal On 2014 Sexual Assault Convictions

Hey kids, I need to give you an update on this story.  Its been going on for a few years now, its cost people jobs, reputations and jail time.  Yeah, its pretty much a mess of a case that is starting look like such a mess that it probably shouldn’t have been prosecuted.

If you need a refresher on the Mitch Vandergunst story here are a few articles for you;

Its not too often kids that anyone wins an appeal, and its even less often that someone wins an appeal on a sexual assault charge.  So there has to be some real holes in the case.

While the case technically remains pending against Vandergunst, the prosecution now has to decide if they are going to go through another trial, or if they walk away.  If they walk away from the case, will Vandegunst pursue civil charges against the prosecutors office?

Maybe, just maybe the original judge should have done a better job of ohhhhhhh making sure the evidence got presented?   You know like, not completely disregarding two witnesses for the defendant who easy cast reasonable doubt on the accusations!  If the kid isn’t retried, someone needs to lose their job over this one.

Heading out for the weekend kids.  Watching the USHL Combine in Chicago today with the boss and then going to the NFL draft tonight and tomorrow.  Its not all hockey with me kids.
