Trial To Jury In Ku Hockey Case Tests Violence Rule
A seven man by five woman jury in Minneapolis began deliberations on whether a professional hockey player is bound by civil laws in a violent sport. David Forbes of the Boston Bruins testified denying he used his stick to injure Henry Boucha of the Minnesota North Stars on January 4. Forbes said he held the stick to settle a score and denied intent to weaponize it, including the butt end as a spear. The defense rested after his testimony. Forbes is the first professional athlete to face criminal charges in the United States from a sports incident.
