What a lack of priorities. Dirty word versus assaulting a women.
Mixon, an 18-year-old OU freshman, was charged with acts resulting in gross injury two-and-a-half months ago for his role in an early morning altercation at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe near campus. The July 25 incident left 20-year-old Amelia Ray Molitor with four broken bones in her face.
Thursday, Mixon entered an Alford Plea, which allows him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that enough evidence exists for a jury to find him guilty.
Mixon was given a one-year deferred sentence, 100 hours of community service and cognitive behavior counseling.
Boren released a statement Thursday saying that suspension would remain intact.
“The judicial outcome and the video speak for themselves,” Boren said. “The University is an educational institution, which always sets high standards that we hope will be upheld by our students. We hope that our students will all learn from those standards, but at the same time, we believe in second chances so that our students can learn and grow from life’s experiences.
“As we have previously indicated, Joe Mixon will not play for our football team during the 2014 season, including postseason competitions. He will have an opportunity to earn his way back on the team during the spring semester.”
