EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX TALKED WITH ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS TODAY, WHO IS RECOVERING AFTER BEING STABBED... WE WANT TO WARN YOU... SOME OF THE IMAGES IN THIS VIDEO ARE A LITTLE GRAPHIC... Branden Teasley had just finished dancing with a girl at Yesterday's club in Williamson Saturday night... when things took a violent turn. "As soon as I turned around, I felt a sharp pain in my back." Apparently, that girl... had a boyfriend... who was also at the nightclub. Things only got worse. "I was weak, and I felt, and there was blood, so my next move was to get as far away as I can." He moved away from the crowd to get help. "Next think I know it's a brawl and everyone is fighting." Police estimate about 60 people got involved in the brawl. Teasley says while he was waiting for emergency crews, he didn't see a whole lot, but he heard plenty. "I heard tasers. I heard yelling." Another UPike football player suffered a concussion... but no other injuries were reported. Teasley came to Pikeville from California play football. "I left where I'm from to avoid stuff like that, and for me to encounter that while I'm at college, I wasn't ready for it. It was crazy." As bad as the wound was... he's thankful it wasn't worse. We caught up with him right after he was released from the hospital this morning. "I feel real lucky. I thank God. Not even lucky, I feel blessed." WILLIAMSON POLICE TELL US MORE ARRESTS ARE PENDING... AS MANY AS TWENTY WARRANTS COULD BE ISSUED FOR PIKEVILLE PLAYERS.

SO WERE THE FAMILIES OF THE THREE SNIPER MURDER VICTIMS. 2200 With him pleading guilty it kind of gives you hope that if he did do the killing he'll finally get a heart and plead guilty to that too EVEN THOUGH THE GUN CHARGES ARE UNRELATED TO THE MURDERS... THEY SAY IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY'RE IN COURT EVERY TIME LESTER IS... 1622 it gets rid of some of my anger seeing that, it's graduatlly, ugh, that he, that he is going to get what he deserves LESTER PLEADED GUILTY WITHOUT MAKING A DEAL AND COULD SPEND UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON FOR THE GUN CRIMES.

Return to Story IndexMAGISTRATE ON SEXTING
RICK...MAGISTRATE WARD HARSHBARGERS SPEECH WENT FROM TRUANCY TO SEXTING... NOW SOME ARE OUTRAGED OVER THE JUDGE'S COMMENTS TO THE STUDENTS.... A TALK ON TRUANCY THAT TOOK A DIFFERENT TURN AT SAINT ALBANS HIGH SCHOOL... "Where he's a judge, he should know better about how to talk to kids and he wasn't at all." MAGISTRATE WARD HARSHBARGER WAS AT THE SCHOOL AS PART OF A COUNTY WIDE INITITIAVE TO SEND JUDGES IN TO TALK TO STUDENTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT MISSING SCHOOL...BUT THAT WASN'T THE TOPIC FOR LONG... "They were primed. This is an exciting topix for young people...sexting!" HARSHBARGER SAYS HE WAS WARNING UNDERAGE STUDENTS THAT SENDING AND RECEIVING NUDE PICTURES THROUGH E-MAIL AND TEXT CAN LAND YOU A FELONY OR EVEN FEDERAL CHARGE, AND THEY COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER FOR LIFE. ONE STUDENT, CAMERON LIGHTNER, WROTE A LETTER TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION SAYING THAT HARSHBARGER MADE THE COMMENT, "IF YOU'RE UNDER 18, YOU'LL GO TO JAIL, BUT IF YOU'RE OVER 18, LET 'EM FLY!" LIGHTNER TOLD EYEWITNESS NEWS THAT HARSHBARGER WAS USING PROFANE LANGUAGE, TALKING DIRTY ABOUT SEXUAL AND PERVERTED THINGS, AND BEING A COMEDIAN. STANDUP: "The principal says a little more than 1,000 students heard the magistrates speech. He says of those, only about 3 or 4 complained to him, but he says those complaints were taken very seriously." "The message he was trying to get across was the right message, it was just the delivery that was seen as inappropriate." "He was joking about it, the judge was. He was cussing. It wasn't serious. The teachers had to step in." HARSHBARGER SAYS HE STANDS BY HIS SEXTING SPEECH, BUT ADMITS HIS DELIVERY COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER... BUT IT WAS ESSENTIALLY THE STUDENTS QUESTIONS THAT LED THE ASSEMBLY OFF TOPIC, AND DOWNHILL. "Young people, the topic is sex they can rise up and be something else in front of all their classmates. They were carrying it to extremes." MAGISTRATE HARSHBARGER SAYS NEXT TIME HE PROBABLY WON'T BE TAKING ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO, LESLIE RUBIN, EYEWITNESS NEWS.

TONIGHT -- THE TWO MAIN COMBATANTS ARE WRAPPING UP WHAT HAS BEEN A VERY NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN. FOX NEWS CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT CARL CAMERON HAS THE DETAILS. TRAILING IN FLORIDA POLLS ON THE EVE OF THE PRIMARY, NEWT GINGRICH ATTACKED MITT ROMNEY FROM ALL ANGLES. GINGRICH says: "Pro-abortion, pro gun control, pro tax increase, pro gay rights. Why would they think that he's going to be able to debate Barack Obama?" ROMNEY'S BEEN PRO LIFE, ANTI GAY MARRIAGE & PRO GUN FOR AT LEAST 7 YEARS AND PAINTS THE GINGRICH ATTACKS AS FALSE, DESPERATE, EVEN SELF DESTRUCTIVE. GINGRICH ATTACKS ROMNEY FOR VETOING A BILL IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2003 THAT WOULD HAVE FUNDED KOSHER MEALS AT NURSING HOMES, WHICH GINGRICH SAYS AMOUNTS TO JOINING OBAMA'S WAR ON RELIGION. GINGRICH says: "Governor Romney is extraordinarily insensitive to religious freedom in America. I frankly didn't know about the kosher food being cut out by Governor Romney until the New York Post reported it yesterday. I mean every time we peel back the onion, there's something new there." ROMNEY SAYS HE VETOED THE BILL BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE INCREASED THE TAXPAYER COST FOR ALL NURSING HOMES IN HIS STATE. ROMNEY says: "What you're seeing on TV as you see him flail around and attack me is exactly what you saw back in the 90's which led to him being reprimanded and ultimately, if you will, pushed out of the Speaker position by his own fellow Republicans." THE LATEST QUINNIPIAC POLL HAS ROMNEY PULLING AWAY FROM GINGRICH 43 TO 29 PERCENT WITH SUPPORT FROM ALL GOP VOTING BLOCS. SANTORUM & PAUL - TIED AT 11. BUT 1 IN 4 SUNSHINE STATE REPUBLICANS SAY THEY ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS. THE LATEST REAL CLEAR POLITICS AVERAGE OF FLORIDA POLLS HAS ROMNEY LEADING BY DOUBLE DIGITS INSTEAD OF POUNDING THE PRESIDENT IN FLORIDA, ROMNEY ZEROED IN ON GINGRICH. TODAY HE RENEWED HIS MOCKERY OF THE THE FORMER SPEAKER'S PROPOSAL TO COLONIZE THE MOON ROMNEY says: "The idea of the moon as the 51st state is not what would have come to my mind as a campaign basis for here in Florida." THE GALLUP POLL SHOWS ROMNEY TIED WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA AT 48 PERCENT... THE PRESIDENT TROUNCES GINGRICH 53-41 AFTER 2 MORNING SHOWS AND A JACKSONVILLE STOP GINGRICH FLEW TO PENSACOLA, THEN TAMPA, FT MYERS AND ORLANDO. GINGRICH says: "I am in fact the legitimate heir of the Reagan movement -- NOT some liberal from Massachusetts!": ROMNEY DID ALL THE MORNING TALK SHOWS THEN CAMPAIGNED IN JACKSONVILLE FOLLOWED BY DUNEDIN ON THE GULF COAST AND THE VILLAGES...ONE OF THE NATION'S LARGEST RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES. ROMNEY says: "With a turnout like this I'm starting to feel like we might win tomorrow, what do you think? [CHEERS]" IN THIS WINNER-TAKE-ALL STATE OF FLORIDA RICK SANTORUM AND RON PAUL ARE NO LONGER CAMPAIGNING ... MISTER SANTORUM HAS KICKED THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN MINNESOTA AND MISSOURI -- STATES THAT VOTE IN FEBRUARY AND RON PAUL TOMORROW WON'T BE IN THE SUNSHINE STATE. HE'LL BE IN NEVADA RECOGNIZING THAT FLORIDA IS GONE... IT WILL BE EITHER ROMNEY OR GINGRICH BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO LIVE AND FIGHT ANOTHER DAY.

WHETHER IT'S CALLED ROCKSTAR, REDBULL, MONSTER ENERGY, OR ANY OF THE OTHER BRAND NAMES OUT THERE... ENERGY DRINKS PACK A PUNCH OF SUGAR AND CAFFEINE AND A HOST OF OTHER INGREDIENTS THAT CAN END UP TAKING A TOLL ON YOUR CHILDS HEALTH. EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR JENIFER McANDREWS LOOKS AT THE RISKS DOCTORS AND RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND FOR KIDS WHO USE ENERGY DRINKS. You've probably seen them in the store... and in kids' hands. Energy drinks. Some of them have 3 to 5 times the caffeine as a soda.. or other similar ingredients. Researchers published in the medical journal "Pediatrics", found that could mean serious health risks for kids.. including sudden death, strokes, and seizures. And the drinks can exaggerate certain heart conditions and also cause heart palpitations. Dr. Joe Matusic, MD, Pediatrician A common concern that I hear about kids, is the parent will come in and say the child has a very high heart rate. Or their child's heart is racing or pounding. We'll talk to the parents and see what the history is and examine and see if we can figure it out. Sometimes the answer for Dr. Matusic is easy... he can draw the line straight to the energy drink. Dr. Joe Matusic Sometimes it's too much caffeine. I have actually seen kids drinking excessive amounts of caffeine and taking these high energy drinks- high caffeine drinks. Or they are taking vitamins or weight loss pill and caffeine and energy drinks and wondering why their heart rate is high. The authors of the study want pediatricians to routinely screen patients for energy drink use, like Dr. Matusic does... and advise against using them. The researchers say this class of drinks hasn't been studied enough, and should also be regulated... They also suggest that for children and teenagers, there is no health benefit to using them. DOCTORS ALSO ADD, USING THE ENERGY DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, CAN MAGNIFY ITS EFFECTS.
