Can anyone with a legal background give an idea of what can happen at Trevor's hearing on Thursday?
What will it take for the charges to be dropped?
Thanks

Here's everything fairly recent. I was wondering about the status ( 18 ) and trial ( 42 ).
Is there going to be a trial or is it just a hearing and what does the " status " mean?

Case search by defendant, first/last same, sex.
Mbakwe has been practicing all year, right?
So, if he's acquitted, he could contribute to the team right away... maybe the OSU game?
A "status" is just a status hearing. In a typical status hearing, the judge will assess the "status" of the case based on various things. In this situation, because it is lumped in with the trial, I imagine the judge will determine whether or not the case is fit to continue on to trial and whether or not it can be settled beforehand. If not, then the trial will proceed today as planned.
Let's hope the depositions, missing victim, etc. lead to a pretrial settlement or dismissal.
I think it's been said he would redshirt if that happens. I, myself, would like to see him play right away considering we need a rebounder and with Ralph and Iverson being nicked up.

Am I reading this right? Victoria Martin was deposed on 11/20?
I think it's been stated that red-shirting is a possibility. If he were to be cleared of charges on 1/7 I think he would play right away.
I'm pretty sure its been reported that it is Trevor's choice to redshirt. Given he's already lost a season of eligibility at Marquette and spent a year in the Juco ranks, missing a half a season with the Gopher's for a third year of eligibility would not be in his best interests.
Exactly - selfishly, I think we all want Trevor back - and for us, if he could help us win just one or two more BT games (which I'm sure he could), it would be worth it and could change our chances of getting into the tourney.
However, if I were Trevor, I would not burn my redshirt year. He's only played about 11 D1 games, and he's a junior this year. If he has NBA hopes, or even want to play overseas, it's much better for his development to play two full years. He has already missed 16 games (including exhibition), and would only get to play 16 regular season games if he started tomorrow. And most likely, this will drag out for another few weeks. Not in his best interest.

Even if the case were resolved on Thursday, TM needs to redshirt this year. Although, even if we can get RW for one game this year, I think it's worth not redshirting him, primarily for two reasons: 1) He is not going to stay here his entire four years anyways. 2) If he doesn't play at all this year, he might get disgruntled this summer and just leave the program. If he plays even one game, presumably at the Barn, hopefully that is incentive and excitement enough for him to come back in the fall.
I agree - I can't see RW needing 4 years of eligibility - so he should play if he comes back regardless. Trevor only has 2 years left, and needs those full years.
I agree on RW. GL do you think TV would play this year if charges were dropped this week?
I think we all want to see these kids play as soon as possible, but even though this team is pretty good we are better in the future. Both Trevor and RW are kids that will make that future better. I'm all for a little delayed gratification for a better tomorrow.

Doesn't your shtick ever get old?I'm confused. I thought Royce White quit the team!?!?!
