He should go to FSU and be an athlete. Then he could just let Jimbo handle his misbehavior and continue to make excuses for him and come to his rescue. Maybe his father will get more punishment. I had hoped the punishment would have been worse. No way the value of the rock wasn't worth more than $1,500. What a break the judge gave him on that. They seemed to be trying to punish, but not ruin his life. Trouble is he brought it upon himself, and he didn't even pony up the piece he stole. That should have been the requirement on his getting off with hardly any punishment at all.

We have a conviction, and he will have to bear the enmity of the Clemson family thenceforth...as well he should.
The real test of his character will be in his subsequent willingness to admit his guilt and express regrets.

The verdict and the sentence were fair.

It would be nice for him to now fess up and return the missing piece of the rock.

He got off lightly on a technicality because Clemson never got Howard's Rock appraised.
There was nothing fair about this verdict. He's going to do a few hours of community service, and his mom and dad are going to pay his fine. The only lesson the kid's going to learn is that as long as mommy and daddy are around, he can get away with anything.

In 1972, Lazlo Roth smashed Michelangelo's "Pieta" and

was never even charged with a crime.
Smashing Howard's Rock was a ####hole thing to do. The kid deserves to be punished. And he is being punished.
He should never be allowed to attend another Clemson sporting event.
Meanwhile, we've won 20 something games rubbing what's left of The Rock. And frankly, I don't believe smashing the rock caused us to lose a single game.
IMHO, this whole thing has been a huge distraction and I hope it's never makes another headline.
It's time to move on.

and immediately checked into a mental institution. He claimed to be Jesus while he was hammering away at the statue.
He wasn't competent to stand trial. It's a completely different situation here because Rogers knew what he was doing, and he danced happily in the street after getting his piece of the rock.

Be honest, if someone vandalized a priceless gamecock heirloom (I know, but just assume they had one for the sake of argument) and you were chosen for the jury, would you not be fair in rendering a verdict? I know I would. I could easily look past my hatred of anything Scarolina and vote guilty or innocent on the harm done to a school's iconic symbol.
I think the same is true for most gamecock fans. Sure, there are a handful of nuts that would probably stand up and cheer for the punk, but most people don't want to see harm done to ANY school's traditions, even if it's their hated rival.

I know for a fact that I would not have an issue whatsoever finding a person guilty if the situation were reversed.
You must not know very many USuCk fans though. The ones I have talked to think it's funny that the rock was broken. These are people that are normal in others aspects of their lives, but completely delusional when it comes to the rivalry. I guess it stems from being the "little red headed step-child" when it comes to college sports in the state of SC. I am quite sure they would look for any opportunity to stick it to Clemson even if they couldn't completely ignore the facts and find MR not guilty.
There were plenty of people that would have said Hank Aaron's 715th ball was only worth 6 bucks because of their racism. Remember the death threats to him? USuCk fans are just as delusional when it relates to the rivalry.

Naaa, his mummy gave him Prilosec OTC before they were so hard on him with the no jail sentence. The courts work in mysterious ways when your family has money, or anyone who has money bc the courts love that under the table sentencing money that's tax free, free as the criminals that buy their freedom from them!!!
