[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

The judge is a disgrace to the legal profession. LB took the jerseys knowing full well that he was violating OhioHSAA rules. Whether the store gave him the shirts because it wanted to give some "love" to a famous athlete or because it wanted to give him something for letting the store take his picture (because he is a famous athlete) so the store could hang the picture on one of its walls where customers could see it, taking the jerseys made him a professional athlete. LB knew what he was doing. He was 18 years old, that makes him an adult, subject to the law as an adult. He is old enough to vote, get married, sign a contract, and even be drafted and/or serve in the military. He needs to suffer the consequences of his deliberate at of professionalism.
