Pitt picked up a couple off-season Fulmer Cup points for Jonathan Baldwin being charged with indecent assault, harrassment and disorderly conduct. After a long and winding delay, and an eventual non-jury trial, the judge found Baldwin not-guilty on all charges.

“It should have never been there (in court), to be honest with you,” said Baldwin’s attorney Craig Lee. “The only reason it was there was because it was Jon. There was no evidence whatsoever, other than it was meant to be a playful gesture — not an insult — although Jonathan felt bad about it and wanted to apologize for it but never was presented the opportunity.”

Apparently the judge agreed about the charges.

“At best, you have a simple assault — and that’s not charged,” Judge Kevin Sasinoski said Monday, as he dismissed the charges after hearing witness testimony in Baldwin’s non-jury trial.

Clearly dumb, there was no reason to slap a girl on her rear. Especially one he did not know. The mother of the girl was still upset that Baldwin had all charges dismissed.

She should be more upset that the prosecutor’s office tried to stick to over-the-top charges.
