BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) -- A former Penn State football player was arrested Tuesday in the killing of a student who was stabbed 93 times, after tests showed the ex-player's DNA was inside a bloody glove found at the murder scene.

Lavon Chisley, 23, of Waldorf, Md., was taken into custody on Tuesday morning after voluntarily arriving at the county courthouse for a hearing in the case. He was charged with first- and third-degree murder in the death of Langston Carraway.

If it does not fit, you must acquit!

Oops, sorry, wrong ex-football player.

[frogjerk]

Oh oh...Bloody gloves? Where did OJ play during his college days again?

Helpful advice to the defense, "DON'T LET THE PERP TRY THE SHRUNKEN GLOVES ON!!!"

[wideawake]

In his defense, he was studying for a degree in industrial and labor relations, and this was intended to be a workshop on dealing with non-union replacement workers.

[ConservativeStatement]

I think that is what the victim studied.

If convicted he plans on getting more tatto's added to his collection.

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

His jail buddies will tattoo his ass.

For sure!

Poster child for steroid abuse? But, but the Coach said it would be okay. Aw, shucks, I've got all those needle sticks between my toes for what? There goes my NFL career. If only I could have held off on the roid rage until AFTER I signed the contract. Damn, just damn.

Upon entering the courthouse, Chisley was arrested.



Former Penn State football player Lavon Chisley was arraigned this afternoon on first- and third-degree murder, and ordered held in Centre County jail without bail.

Chisley remained silent throughout the proceedings. But as the Centre Hall courtroom of District Judge Thomas Jordan began to clear, he put his head down on the table in front of him and began to sob as his mother and attorney tried to console him.

Chisley is charged with stabbing to death his friend and fellow Penn State student Langston Carraway in Carraway’s Patton Township apartment on June 5. Sources familiar with the scene have said that Carraway was stabbed multiple times, and a racial epithet was written in blood on the wall. Both Carraway and Chisley are black.

Kramer needs to apologize...look what his tirade has wrought!

Who's going to have this? Greta? Nancy Grace? 24/7 on the news channels? Anyone?

[katykelly]

This happened in June? Did he play football this past season?

[ConservativeStatement]

I don't think so. From the article:

Chisley, a defensive lineman, was booted off the school's football team before the 2005 season because of poor grades.

Chisley started nine games for Penn State in 2003. He was mainly a reserve in 2004, recording 14 tackles and one sack.

It must be the fault of the video game. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2005/04/04-06-05tdc/04-06-05dsports-02.asp

In compensation, he sits down to display his proficiency at Metal Gear Solid. With eight enemies to annihilate with hand grenades, his character starts out by cunningly hiding under a bed. A single toss of the weapon, and he kills four of the bad guys. He then steadily takes care of the rest, until there are three, two, and -- finally -- one enemy remaining. "Ahhh! I see him!" he yelps, and quickly finishes off the opponent. "Games like this, I like." With all eight enemies safely eliminated, it's fair to exit the apartment, no Cribs-appropriate impolite dismissal necessary.
