Judge stays WSU player’s suspension

Robert Barber will be allowed to play football again, thanks to a ruling from Judge David Frazier, presiding over the Whitman County Superior Court, who granted a motion to grant an immediate stay of Washington State’s suspension of Barber.

The stay is granted on the condition that Barber not attempt to contact the student who he injured at a house party this summer, use drugs or attend parties where drugs and alcohol are present.

Frazier’s ruling was centered on the fact that WSU’s student conduct board destroyed original questions to witnesses submitted to the board by Barber. Barber and his attorney, Steve Graham, stated that the board asked paraphrased versions of those questions/Jacob Thorpe, SR. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with the judge's decision?
