CRIME AND PUNISHMENT Locally and nationally, it seemed like there was always a sports controversy in the news. From the hugely publicized Kobe Bryant sex scandal to the local Marlin Jackson bottle incident, high profile athletes were constantly making headlines. In July, NBA star Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault of a 19 year-old woman who worked at the Colorado hotel where Bryant was staying prior to undergoing surgery. During a press conference, Bryant claimed he was innocent of sexual assault, and that the only thing he was guilty of was adultery. If convicted of the felony, he could serve a sentence ranging from significant probation to 20 years in prison. Shocked family members, friends, teammates, and fans had a hard time believing that Bryant, married and with a young child, could be involved in such a controversy. Only time would tell if Bryant ' s previously wholesome image would be tarnished, regardless of the outcome of his trial. ! think that people will continue to love Kobe despite this current scandal, said Erin Ott, sophomore LSA student.

Local headlines featured various incidents involving athletes at the University, Michigan State University, and Ohio State University. In June, Michigan defensive back Marlin Jackson was accused of hitting someone over the head with a bottle at a bar, a charge Jackson denied. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and sentenced to one year on probation, along with various fines and an order to attend an anger management class. Ohio State University tailback Maurice Clarett was held from preseason practice until issues regarding eligibility were resolved. Clarett filed an investigation which claimed thousands of dollars of stereo equipment owned by him had been stolen from the car he was driving. It was later learned that many of the expensive items Clarett claimed were his in fact did not belong to him, and that he exaggerated the cost of these items.
