Knee whacker loses bid to clear record
(Portland-AP) December 2, 2005 - He wants to join the Navy SEALs, but an episode from his past is standing in the way. It's that time he whacked Nancy Kerrigan in the knee.
Shane Stant is the man convicted of carrying out that attack on the Olympic ice-skater in 1994 in a conspiracy that also involved skating rival Tonya Harding and her ex-husband. It took place as Harding sought the US figure-skating title and a spot on the 1994 Winter Olympics team.
The SEALs won't take anyone with a felony conviction. So Stant asked an Oregon judge to expunge his record. The judge refused.
In a letter prosecutors gave the judge, Kerrigan wrote that granting Stant's request would signal "that such a crime can ultimately be swept under the rug."
Stant served 14 months in prison. Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and two other men also went to jail. Harding served probation.

Was it a lobster bib?
That's it... He should have converted to Islam first... They would have taken him for sure in that case, and they would have also cleared his record and given him an award for public service.
The guy wears a bib? Is he a slob? Sorry that he lost it. His shirt will get messy when he eats now.
He should have told the judge he is a liberal Democrat.
I think the seals can do better.
What bull***! With or without the felony conviction, SEALS don't want this guy, even if there was even the most remote chance he'd be able to complete the training. I think this clown wanted the conviction expunged for other reasons, but figured he'd play some kind of "patriot card" to see if he could con the judge.
First thing that came to mind. lol!
Was it a baby bib?
Maybe it was a stuned beeber bib.
LOL. I love this place: spelling errors and pointed corrections. You know you've really got him if he askes the Admin Mod to change the title. :-)
Wow. Sexy Tonya
struck me as the kind of gal
who didn't mind spills . . .
Tanya could easily make the enemy shiver.....she thoroughly enjoys pounding people to a pulp!
Stant's Stunt Stifles Seal Strategy.
What a loser.
Somehow, I just don't think this guy has what it takes. I mean, "I'm a tough guy; I whacked a beauty queen, and America's sweetheart, on the knee," just doesn't sound very convincing.
They should have whacked him on the knee caps just for asking, with an aluminum bat.
Exactly.
