For the rest of the story, click here .

Suspended Gonzaga basketball star Josh Heytvelt struck a deal with prosecutors today that could leave him with a clean criminal record. Heytvelt, 20, agreed to a diversion program in which the drug possession charge against him will be dismissed if he stays out of trouble for a year. But if he tests positive for drugs or gets into any other criminal trouble over the next 12 months, the case would be revived and Heytvelt would return to Spokane County Superior Court.“I’m sorry to all the fans and the public, and the community of Spokane,” Heytvelt said outside the courtroom. “I’m sorry to my teammates and coaches.”

Question: Are you satisfied with the way this played out in the legal system?
