Unfortunately, I think this time, they stay awhile. Their schedule for the next couple weeks is pretty weak: 
Dec.17 vs. Davidson (at Indy)
Dec. 21 vs. New Orleans
Dec 29 vs. Florida A&M
Jan. 2 vs. Rutgers
Jan. 5 at Ohio State 
Jan. 8 vs. Penn State
Jan. 13 vs. Nebraska

Purdue had a good three day stretch out in a tourney that nobody attended. Outside of that, they have been very MEH.

We will see

As much as it pains me to admit this.. at this point, Matt Painter is the new Bo Ryan. Doesn't matter who is on the roster year to year. They will be good as long as he is coaching.

They fit his system. He's always finding guys who he doesn't have to compete with Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, etc for and making them successful. His most disappointing teams have had guys good enough to leave early. Might as well accept that his teams are nearly always going to be a problem.

Is it likely? If I understand correctly, assuming the complainant is able to actually drop the charges (which I'm not sure here...pumpfake's post above makes sense to me), the state can still pursue a case.

I know nothing about the law, but someone that does can correct me if I'm wrong there. I just don't see him walking away from this knowing what we currently know. 

Yeah but if their only witness is her, and she won't testify then the state doesn't have much of a case.

Which was a joke the whole time, though. 

Jack Benter will be a problem, as well.

Dior Johnson, Pitt freshman who has been suspended all season, just got his felony DA charges dropped down to a misdemeanor. 1 year of probation. His charges were also related to strangulation. Not sure if that can be used as a comparison, but if Beard has his charges plead down to misdemeanor I wonder if they do drop the hammer. 

I guess it will depend on how the jurisdiction handles DA charges.

Domestic violence charges have a tendency of being dropped. If that doesn't happen, I won't be surprised if it ends up being plead down to a misdemeanor.

HoosierHoopster is the guy I'm listening to on this one. 

Looks like in Texas a third degree felony carries from 2-10 years, but it could be pled down. Without a plea down to a misdemeanor? Some states have mandatory minimums, and some allow the sentencing judge to deviate.

Hey HH - in Texas is that a min/mand or can the judge sentence down on a felony?

First, let's just get this part out of the way, my rate is $450/hour. I'll send you the bill, hey, maybe I'll even accept a Zelle transfer. :)

Second, and unrelated to the first point, I'm a financial institutions litigator (civil), not a criminal attorney. (I'll bill you anyway.)

Third, directly related to the first point, I'm now billing my time to participate on a basketball board. $$$$

With those most important points covered, on to the substance.

Assault charges are set out in Chap. 22 of the Texas Penal Code (again, I don't practice criminal law, but remember, I'm billing you anyway).

In our fabulous State of Texas, an assault charge under Sec. 22.01(a)(1) -- which includes intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse -- is a misdemeanor (Class A). Except under certain enumerated circumstances it is upgraded to a felony of the third degree (the stated charge here). One of those circumstances is where the the offense is committed against a person whose relationship is described in certain Family Code sections, and the offense is committed intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly 'impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of the person by applying pressure to the person's throat or neck or by blocking the person's nose or mouth." Haven't been reading the follow up reports etc. but that seems to be the charge here from the initial limited news flash I read above. 

"Punishments" of such offenses are separately delineated in the Title 3 of the Penal Code, and at Sec. 12.34 for third degree felonies. That statute provides that an individual adjudged guilty of a third degree felony "shall be punished by imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for any term of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years." (And there's also a permissive fine not to exceed $10,000 -- which will be less than my first invoice to you).

I take it you pulled that up to see the 2-10 years you mention, but I wanted to go through all of this detail to ensure my bill is high enough.

On whether the Texas criminal court judge could deviate from the statute, if the case were to go forward and to trial, I don't know (you still have to pay my bill), but my general understanding here is that the statutory language "shall be punished" is mandatory, and thus cannot be deviated from. I'm now going to ruminate on that, and charge you some more.

I don't know the ins and outs of the whole legal process, but after watching this, he has a $10K bond, court dates, a protective order, and there was no mention of charges being dropped.
