CEDARFEST DEFENDANT ALLOWED TO STAY ON CAMPUS

By Michael Nichols

 A client of The Nichols Law Firm will be able to enroll at Michigan State University despite a push from the City of East Lansing to ban him from campus.  A state law allows judges to ban anyone from any public university or community college for a year if the person is convicted of an act related to a riot.  "These cedarfest cases garnered such an aggressive response it was as if anyone who had any remote involvement in the events should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said attorney Mike Nichols.  "The problem was that absolutely everyone was forced to either go to trial or plead guilty and face the banishment" Nichols added.

     However, a Judge ordered the client of The Nichols Law Firm to serve one year of probation with two weeks of jail to be served in staggered periods so that the young man can maintain his job. He is hoping to return to Michigan State University in January. He has been attending a community college in his hometown because of the legal costs incurred by his family.  You can read more at www.lsj.com
