Ragland files motion after $63 million verdict

By Katie Saltz
ksaltz©kyketnelcom

Shane Ragland. the man who
pleaded guilty to manslaughter in
the death of a former UK football
player. is requesting a new civil tri—
al. On Aug. 19. a jury ruled
Ragland owed the family of Trent
DiGiuro $63 million in punitive
damages.

DiGiuro. a former UK offensive
lineman. was shot and killed in
1994 on Woodland Ave. Ragland
was convicted of tnurder in 2002.
but that conviction was later over—
tumed.

Ragland and his attomeys
did not attend the first civil trial for

the wrongful death suit: Ragland's
attorney Steven Romines told the
Kernel in an Aug. 27 article that
they felt it wasn’t necessary
to argue the case.

“The jury decided
based on the guilty plea
that liability was deter-
mined." Romines said in
the article. "We didn‘t feel
it was necessary to contest
that issue. Whatever (the
jury) said was fine with
us."

The motion is not nec—
essarily to get a new trial.
Romines said. but it is procedural to
change the amount awarded to the
DiGiuro family.

Ragland

“Punitive damages by law do
not exceed compensatory damages
by a multiple of 10. In this case they
were multiplied by 20,"
Romines said.

Trent DiGiuro's father.
Mike DiGiuro. said he
thinks Ragland is jtist trying
to postpone the conse-
quences of the original ver-
dict.

“(His requesti is just to
ptit off facing this for as
long as he can." Mike
DiGiuro said. "If he was
concemed about the trial he
would have been there the first
time."

The motion for a new trial will

go before a judge who will deter-
mine if there are valid grounds for a
new case. Thomas Conway. the
DiGiuro's attorney. called the re-
quest a "frivolous appeal."

“it is rather unusual that
they didn't even appear at the tri-
al... they had no objections." Con—
way said. “And now he is saying the
jury awarded too much in punitive
damages."

The claim that the $63 million is
too much money is unfounded.
Conway said. since during the civil
trial. Ragland and his attomeys of—
fered a $50 million judgment to the
DiGiuro family.

A judge will review the motion
and then could decide to change the

amount of the verdict or let the deci-
sion stand. Romines said. or the
case could go to the Kentucky Court
of Appeals.

Conway said he does not expect
the new trial to take place because
Ragland does not have much stand—
ing.

"1 don‘t think it has any chance
at all." he said. “1 would be
shocked.u

DiGiuro said in an Aug. 27 issue
of the Kernel that he didn‘t expect
to see any of the $63 million his
family was awarded. but it was
more about the principle.

“For somebody with no money.
he sure is spending a lot on
lawyers." he said.

 

SG forced
to rethink
textbook
legislation

By Katie Saltz

ksaltz@kykernel,com

While there may have been sup»
port for Student Government President
Tyler Montell‘s proposal for a bill
eliminating sales tax on textbooks.
there is one problem With his plan M
it is already a law.

in the Sept. 2 issue of the Kernel.
Montell said he had pre«fi|ed a no-
tion fora bill that would allow book-
stores to sell textbooks without sales
tax.

in 1978 Kentucky passed a statue
stating that textbooks and related
course materials purchased for use at a
non—profit educational institution were
excizipi from sales tax. tKRS 139.480)

“Out of all the people we talked to.
no one knew Kentucky already did
this." Montell said. "Even legislators
said this was something they wanted
to be a pan of."

The 1978 law allowed the UK
ovs'ned bookstore to sell textbooks
without sales on. btit not privately
owned bookstores like Kennedy Book-
store or Wildcat 'l‘cxtbooks.

(‘arol Beltt‘. general manager of
Kennedy Bookstore. said this ptit pri~
sate businesses at a disadvantage. so
Joe Kennedy petitioned the Kentucky
Department of Revenue to amend the
statute.

“Students who shopped here were
being penalized." Behr said. “So in
1981. Mr. Kennedy filed the petition
saying that it was unfair."

Thc revision passed. Behr said.
and now private and nonprofit hlhl’
nesses in the state of Kentucky can sell
required cotirsc materials without sales
tax.

Kentucky is one of its‘ states with
some kind of tax exemption law. ac-
cording to the National Association of
(‘ollegc Stores,

Bchr suggested S(l follow up on
the already-instated law by writing
legislation about textbooks that come

By Jill Luster
ilaster©kykernel com

Two llK students and a Kernel
adviser were released Wednesday
after being arrested on felony riot»
ing charges two days earlier at the
Republican National Convention.

Kentucky Kernel photographers
Ed Matthews. at joumalism senior.
and Britney McIntosh. a joumalism
sophomore. and Kernel photo advis«
er Jim Winn were detained at the
Ramsey County Adult Detention
(‘enter in St. Paul. Minn. They were
not covering the event for the Ker-
nel. but were there on their own ac—
cottnts. said editor in chief Brad
Luttrell.

Matthews. McIntosh and Winn
were released Without being charged
With a crime. however charges are
pending further investigation. ac»

cording to jail officials.

All three were photographing
protests of the convention. said
Matthews. although they were not
on assignment for the Kernel in
Minnesota.

As the three took photographs
around the hotel where Republican
National (‘onvention delegates were
staying. riot guards were pushing
back the crowd. The guards then her
gan throwing cherry bombs.
MattheWs said.

Matthews and Mclntosh were
together and tried to break from the
crowd as they took pictures. he said.
but it was unsuccessful.

"It was crazy. People were run»
ntng left and right. You'd turn
around. and there‘d be a line of cops
coming from one direction."
Matthew's said. “You‘d turn back

anm.mhauum

.-

around and there would be cops on
bikes coming in the other direction "

Matthews said 'during the arrest.
police confiscated all of his and
McIntosh‘s belongings. which they
wrll be able to pick tip in Minnesota
on Monday. The only thing he had
when he was released was hrs ID
card and debit card. which he tucked
in his shoe beforc the protest.

liven though Matthews said his

McIntosh

Winn

and Mclntosh's arrest was not war-
ranted. hc is concerned that they
will be charged along Wllh the pro»
testers.

"They definitely don't have
\ ideo of me throwmg bricks or any-
thing." he said, “So while there is a
small fear. l‘m not too won'ted we‘ll
be charged."

The three photographers will not
be treated any differently from the

others u ho were attested because
they were documenting the protests.
said Tom Walsh. the public informa-
tion officer for the St. Paul Police
Department.

“They were not credentialed

jotimalists." Walsh said. ”They were

not on an assignment."

Despite the trip resulting iii the
arrest. Matthews said he felt it was
part of his job as a joumalist.

“We were arrested for doing our

jobs as joumalists. so 1 think it's not

all for nothing.”

If convicted of felony rioting.
Winn. Matthews and Mclntosh
would receive a minimum sentence
of one year tn jail and have to pay a
minimum fine of $3.000.

IPHONE

Continued from page I

First generation owners
not switching

Just like his cousin Latiff.
Jon Chadwell also bought his
iPhone immediately after it
came out. But Chadwell
bought his one year ago. he
couldn‘t wait for the second
generation.

Chadwell was impressed
by the previews of the
iPhone. and he bought his
first generation iPhone based
off past experience with Ap—
ple products.

"I‘ve had very good ex—
perience with Apple and cus—

tomer service. Even if you ,

have an older piece of equip
ment they constantly have
(software) updates." said
Chadwell. a pre-pharinacy
senior. “It's easily updated if
you have an older phone.
they (Apple) don‘t want to
leave you out in the cold."

Chadwell said the iPhone
is useful during classes for
reasons besides text messag-
ing.

“Sometimes I‘ll pull out
my phone and type in a Web
site. an important date or
something new." he said.
"I'm not the type of guy that
carries an organizer. It’s got
everything I need. “

Bobby Gaffney. a third
year graduate student in mo-
lecular biology and first gen-
eration iPhone owner. said he

doesn‘t really use his iPhone
for academic reasons outside
of e-iiiail.

“I‘m not really using it
for school work." (iaffney
said. “I might read a profes-
sors e-mail. but I'm not going
to respond to them."

(iaffney said the iPhone
has network issues that can‘t
be ignored.

“Its so fragile. and it
drops so many calls."
(iaffney said. “I can be sitting
in my apartment and not get
signal. And if you‘re on the
Internet it‘s slow, You can use
UK's Wi—Fi network. but if
you don't use \VI—Ifl. it just
goes through the phone. and
it's just too slow."

Gaffney said for these
reasons he wouldn‘t consider
upgrading to the 30 models.
and would not have gotten
his phone if it weren't a gift.

"I would have never
bought it." Gaffney said.
“I‘m cheap. I get the phone
that comes with the plan. It’s
cool. but its not that cool.
I‘ve had the iPhone experi-
ence."

Chadwell also said that
he has thought about switch—
ing generations. btit ultimate-
ly there aren‘t that many dif—
ferences between his model
and the 3G.

"The 36 has 8 gigabytes
and mine is 4 gigabytes. the
36 has a built in GPS and
mine uses Google maps. and
the 30 has a faster network."
Chadwell said. "Its nothing to
make me get a new one. this
one is doing the job."

 

Musical duo
bnngs'skanky’
show to UK

By Kellie Oates
features@kykernel.com

There really isn‘t any—
thing tasteful about musical
duo TASTiSKANK. Their
lyrics are shockingly blunt.
scandalous and hilariously
vulgar. and they top it off by
rocking high-heels and look—
ing fabulously risque. And
they‘re coming to UK.

“They are essentially
good girls gone had." said
Nigel Lepainka. the cultural
arts director for the Student
Activities Board.

The duo consists of
Broadway actresses Kate
Reinders. who played Glinda
the Good Witch I the musical
“Wicked." and Sarah
Litzsinger. who played Belle
in “Beauty and the Beast."

And these two women are
putting a twist on obscene
comedy and showrng the
world it isn‘t just men who
know how to be publicly per--
verse.

Lepainka said
TASTISKANK manages to

If you go

What: TASTISKANK
When: Thursday at 7 pm.
Admission: Free

get their message across in an
adult fashion while putting a
spin on traditional lyrics.

"Their songs are mature
in nature because. as they
claim. they are tired of being
these ‘innocent' girls." Lepi—
anka said.

With songs that feature
lines such as. “You were the
worst sex I ever had." and “I
heart dirty boys with no mon—
ey." TASTiSKANK was
deemed. according to their
MySpace page. "the rockin'
love child of Tenacious D and
the‘ Indigo Girls."

Lepianka said that the
SAB decided to bring
TASTiSKANK to campus af-
ter an unforgettable perform—
ance at SAB‘s national con-
vention.

“They were very ener—
getic. funny. and it seemed
like an event that would at-
tract LIK students for obvious
reasons."

According to their My—
Space page. TASTISKANK
was nariicd as one of the
"Top 35 Sexiest New Yorke
er‘s" by the New York Post.
and their lyrics speak on be—
half of single women every-
where by discussing the trials
and tribulations of today‘s
dating scene.

TASTISKANK will per—
form Thursday iiight at 7 in
Memorial Hall and is free and
open to the public.

stuck with the same tiring

their other recordings.

While The Hold
Steady presents great mu—
sicianship. they are able to
give you the comfortable
feeling of a band that
could possibly be seen at
your favorite hole in the
wall on any given week-
end. I was recently reading
an article about their new
album in which the author
perfectly described the
group as "America
smartest bar band." The
Hold Steady delivers Iyri»

all the while leaving the
