Its terrible that all this happened but glad that Mr. Stinson was found not guilty.

This is a very sad situation. I hope both families as well as others involved can now move forward. God Bless all of them.

I am happy for Coach Stinson and his family. I am sad for Max and his family. No matter what happened in this trial the outcome is still sad.

You read the comments from the family and the prosecution after the verdict and it makes it sound like it really was a witch hunt.

Gilpin's mother, Michele Crockett, said the trial told the story of what led up to her son's death and was "an uphill battle" for prosecutors. But because the public heard the details of what happened, the trial was worth it, she said.

 

"We feel fortunate that it was even brought to the jury," Crockett said. "We can live with it. We can live with that."

 

"We know Max didn't die in vain," said Gilpin's father, Jeff Gilpin.

 

One of the prosecutors, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Leland Hulbert, said he hopes the case prompts coaches to pay closer attention to their players.

 

"I do think some good will come out of this trial," Hulbert said.

This was on the MSN network today. I didn't even think about it until I say the post in here. It didn't register it was talking about KY football. http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/10071342/Prep-coach-acquitted-in-death-of-football-player

How did the player contribute to the "fault"?

With all due respect to the young man and may he rest in peace, I do feel that he contributed to his death, somewhat.

The Court System has made me a believe twice now, it may get somethings wrong from time to time, but I have to say it is the best system possible.

 

I feel for the family who lost a young man, but I am also very glad this verdict came back the way it did, the coach followed the rules and was not at fault. Just a terrible situation, and no one killed the young man.

 

Well said.

The sad thing is the Coach was found guilty a long time ago. He was a loser either way, the very moment he was indicted he became guilty. Very,Very sad.

The only good news hat could possibly come from this story. Glad this man does not have to pay for this more than he already will the rest of his life.

The mother has said numerous times that someone must be held accountable. Unfortunately, things don't always work that way. I feel sorry for both the family and the coach. No-one wants to bury their child.

Glad this man does not have to pay for this more than he already will the rest of his life.

 

At least he HAS a "rest of his life...."

I am saddened by the entire situation, and did not read the many newspaper reports. Hopefully all parties are able to move on from this tragedy, and no civil suit with follow. Finally, coaches nationwide are much more likely now to closely monitor the use hard training and use it to achieve conditioning as opposed to a method of punishment.

This should have never gone to criminal court and I think the verdict cam back correct. But Coach Stinson will probably have a wrongful death suit coming his way. [/b] I stand with Coach Stinson though as this man was demonized by many. This was an awful situation that snowballed, thanks to the media, into something entirely on another level. My prayers have been and will continue to be with both the Gilpin family and Coach Stinson and his family.
