Jahmar Young trial date set

This will certainly endear us even further to the NMSU fan-atics who choose to see and hear what they wish (which is their prerogative) but, heck, we don't make the news nor does the Las Cruces Sun-News publication.

In this particular case, Jahmar Young and the New Mexico state judicial system does.

Now if we wish to be particularly snarky, we would advise Young to touch base with former Aggie Tyrone Nelson for tips on how to work his case -- oops. Here comes the barrage of emails from Las Cruces.

Actually, here's hoping the kid is found innocent but, regardless, that the outcome be a result of a fair proceeding.

LAS CRUCES — A trial date has been set for New Mexico State basketball player Jahmar Young's indecent exposure case.

Young, 21, is scheduled for a bench trial before state District Judge Doug Driggers on June 27.

Young faces misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and battery for an on-campus incident last summer. He also was charged with resisting arrest in January after turning himself in on a warrant that was issued for failing to show up for his arraignment on the misdemeanor charges.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Young has played one year for the Aggies. He has played in 21 games, averaging 10.3 points per contest.

Is that right, Jahmar Young was a 21 year old freshman???? Or was it a typo?? How many years was he in high school??

I believe he spent two years in prep schools prior to coming to NMSU, thus accounting for the advanced age as a frosh. It appears the paperwork of this was a major contributor to Young's delay in getting on the court this past season.
