Paddling of Student In Court Sparks Assault Question
In Decatur Illinois Justice of the Peace Harry Sackriter weighs whether paddling a high school pupil by principal David W Beggs III constitutes assault. Larry Lindsey 14 says he was struck 18 times. Beggs claims eight. Bond of Beggs 2000 remains. Concerns of legal action arise as other cases involve a 13-year-old paddled pupil and proceedings are dismissed for lack of burden.
