The case against the 18-year-old accused of attacking two other players with a crutch during an incident known as the football brawl is continuing to head for trial. Bashir Garain, a Pioneer student, was charged in connection to what happened on Oct. 12, 2012, following the football game between Huron and Pioneer high schools, according to the Washtenaw County prosecutors office. He appeared for a final pre-
trial hearing March 19 at the county circuit court. Various residents and organizations, the Ann Arbor Public Schools Board of Education, and now the Bashir Garain American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan have brought concerns regarding this case. Ypsilanti attorney Walter White,
who is representing Garain, said the day of the trial has been moved from April 1 to April 8 due to one of the prosecutions witnesses being unavailable during their spring break. There has not yet been any resolution that would prevent the case from going to trial, White said. He said attorneys have an obligation to resolve cases before trial if possible and he expects to continue to be in communication with the Washtenaw County prosecutors office up to the day of the trial. An agreement like a plea deal offers a guaranteed result as
opposed to what could happen in a trial, he said. White will be continuing to line up witnesses and put together evidence to present under the assumption the trial will be held. Garain was charged in November with two felony charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and two misdemeanor charges of assault and battery, according to the county prosecutors office. He currently remains free on a personal recognizance bond.

Stephen Jenson
ANN ARBOR Stephen Jenson has been sentenced to three years in federal prison, the minimum sentence he faced, for a charge of possessing child pornography. The former resident physician with the University of Michigan Health System was charged after he was identified by police as the owner of
a USB drive with child pornography found in 2011 at a restricted area of the hospital. How this case was handled brought about some changes for the university. Once it was revealed there had been a six-month delay from when the pornography was discovered in May 2011 to when university police were notified to begin investigating in November 2011, the university took multiple steps to determine what
went wrong. This nearly year-long examination culminated in October 2012 with the creation of a new public safety division, a realignment of all the universitys public safety efforts. Since then, the University of Michigan Department of Public Safety was renamed the universitys Police Department.
