Wow, you either went digging real deep or you're affiliated with the courts....
Or Hoke just addressed this in his presser.
I hope to be like dang for large sections of the season.

Some clarification (per a premium board):
Sounds like it was more of a misunderstanding involving a roommate. Something was taken and thought to be of common use but wasn't and was returned when roommate inquired about it. But police had been called and charges were filed. Doesn't exactly sound serious but obvious caveat of waiting to see what happens.
As for why he hasn't been playing-this isn't why. He has had a concussion for several weeks now. M staff are supposedly planning to seek a medical redshirt for him.
Something tells me this wasn't a dispute over the pan you use to cook your ramen noodles.
Apparently someone posted Ron Zook's offensive playbook online
That was my initial reaction too. Charges don't really seem to gel with story.
Just relaying what insiders said about it before board completely freaked out as we tend to do. They made it sound like not much, but charges carry some weight. Who knows what truth is right now? No point in speculating at this point.
But it may not matter. Whether we're talking about a borrowed stapler, a borrowed PS3 or a borrowed yacht, if MRob reasonably believed he was permitted to use the object, it isn't larceny, and therefore it isn't 2nd degree home invasion.
In other words, we need more facts to know for sure.
Stop spewing out BAR/BRI information. You brought back bad memories and made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Knock it off.

That my friend, would be an affirmative defense. But who wants to put those things forward? No one. They just take up time and money that's why 99% of cases don't go to trial. If the prosecutor believes the story, justice is spelled P-L-E-A-D-E-A-L.
The prosecution is required to prove all elements of the offense, including mens rea. As such, a lack of intent to commit larceny would not be an affirmative defense here.
That said, he really wouldn't want to take this to trial. His better hope is that the prosecutor believes his take and drops (or reduces) the charges.
Detroit News says he's got a preliminary hearing set for Wednesday.

Yeah, I'd say it's pretty much been confirmed. That sucks big time.
right?

That is true, but Blake Countess is the reason Troy Woolfolk could move to safety.

that should just be settled out of court. Nothing to see here. (my daughter has jury duty in Washtenaw this week, but I don't think preliminary hearings have juries)

Uttering & Publishing?? Oh man, that's not coming off his record anytime soon...
(I Googled this apparently it's punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Moral of the story: don't utter and publish.)

Uttering and publishing generally involves attempting to use stolen checks.
I hope to be like dang for large sections of the season.

It involves any sort of forgery with regard to legal documents or contracts, technically. But unless the roommate had land deeds sitting around his apartment, yeah, it's probably checks.

If I remember correctly uttering and publishing is either writing bad checks or stealing someone's checkbook and then writing checks in their name.

FYI, for those who are interested, here is a definition of 2nd degree home invasion (per onecle, re-formatted for clarity):
A person is guilty of 2nd degree home invasion if...

We'll see. The charge suggest something greater than a penny-ante issue between roommates. So, unless or until the case is resolved, let's not do the OSU thing and dismiss it as nothing.
I'm just so fed up with this crap coming from players and coaches at so many schools in D-1. And I'm sure we'd all agree that this kind of nonsense isn't what Michigan or any fine university should be part of.
It's one thing after another, from one school after another. There's a potential solution, but everyone's going to dislike my suggesting it: the elimination of athletic scholarships. Real college students should be playing college football, not semi-pro athletes. Realistically paid teachers should be coaching it, not pros depending on it for millions of dollars in salary.
Yes, big-time D-1 football makes for a more exciting brand of football. Yes the level of on-field competition in D-1 is excellent. And that may be important to a lot of people.
I know I'm the only person on this board who would give that level of competition up for a different system. Neg away.
What we currenly have is a set of minor leagues for the NFL. It's all about "the next level." Well, there should be minor league football for those who go to college only for that.
The Ivy League prohibits athletic scholarships in tis charter. The students who play are actual students. I have a lot of respect for that, and would honestly like to see Michigan leave the Big Ten and join the Ivies. Unless the NCAA does what it should do, and eliminate athletic scholarships, things aren't going to change.
I realize fully that Michigan will never do that for a myriad of reasons, nor will the NCAA. It's not going to happen. But it should.
Man, come on!! How/why did Carvin Johnson transfer. He was the depth chart at safety.
