Unbelievable - ku/Morningstar

[Scratch]

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss drunken-driving charges against Kansas guard Brady Morningstar if he stays out of trouble for the next year.

The 23-year-old Morningstar was arrested Oct. 3 on the Kansas Turnpike near Lawrence on suspicion of driving under the influence. Court records indicate that the junior had nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system at the time.

He was fined $500 and charges included speeding and failing to keep his car in a single lane. Douglas County prosecutors say all charges will be dismissed if Morningstar does not have any further legal problems in the next 12 months.

i'm shocked

That's just diversion.  Any first time offender can get it.  I'd say 99% of first time DUIs go like that if there is no injury and a lawyer is hired.

No way he makes it a year.  The football team will get progressively more pissed as they continue to lose.

Not entirely sure that's true.

EDT: after looking it up, you are right. i thought I remember hearing that KS was doing away with DUI diversions.

Is ku looking up at KSU in the north standings during History Awaits?

He probably also surrendered his licence for a year, that tends to be the norm in a diversion.

So what will he do with his car in the meantime?  Does he keep it or does he have to give it back to Pollard?

Does Mangina still beat his wife?

I don't believe they're doing away with diversions for first DUIs.  They get everything they really want ($$$$) from you and don't have to clog up the jails with mandatory jailtime for the first offenders.  Pretty sure they are adding mandatory day to 2nd and subsequent DUIs, that may be what you're thinking about because it's ben in the papers quite a bit lately.

Refusal or failure of a chemical test does not equal a (minimum) one year loss of a DL?  Cops playing attorneys..

That's not the point you were making. To quote: "that tends to be the norm in a diversion". That has nothing to do with a diversion. You would be surprised just how much legal info cops have. Cause, oddly enough, cops have to make those legal decisions in seconds, not the billable hours that attorneys do.
