Defense: Jury may feel San Jose State trainer deserved to be fired for touching female athletes. But is he a criminal?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:54 GMT

SAN JOSE – San Jose State’s former head athletic trainer might have touched female athletes in a way that made them so uncomfortable, and did so little to explain his methods or secure their consent, that jurors might conclude that Scott Shaw should have been fired from his job, a defense lawyer conceded during closing arguments in the federal trial Monday.However, Shaw’s lawyer Dave Callaway told jurors, “Your job is to decide whether Mr. Shaw is a criminal.”“If there was a failure to communicate, that’s on Mr. Shaw. He was the adult in the room,” Callaway said. “But that, folks, is not a crime.”Callaway’s argument came after federal prosecutor MarLa Duncan told jurors just the opposite: that Shaw was “so sinister and manipulative” that “instead of doing his job, the defendant preyed on that trust to cop a feel of their breasts and buttocks, to grope them under the guise of legitimate treatment, treatment he knew had no legitimate purpose.”The showdown in a San Jose federal courtro...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:55:54 GMT

By Lolita C. Baldor and Tara Copp | Associated PressWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has decided to keep U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a last-ditch decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama and ending months of politically fueled debate, according to senior U.S. officials.The officials said Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness. Dickinson’s view, however, was in contrast to Air Force leadership, who studied the issue at length and determined that relocating to Huntsville, Alabama, was the right move.The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the decision ahead of the announcement.The president, they said, believes that keeping the command in Colorado Springs would avoid a disruption in readiness that the move would cause, particularly as the U.S. races to compete with China in space.
