COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A Columbus judge says he'll let an inmate stay in jail instead of moving him to prison right away so he can see the Ohio State-Michigan game on TV this Saturday.


Jeff Renne told Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Richard Sheward yesterday that he would plead guilty as long as he could stay in the county jail through the weekend. Inmates at the jail can watch TV, but it's off-limits at the Orient reception center, where they are held before they're moved to one of the state's prisons.


Renne was charged with forgery. He says if the Buckeyes win on Saturday, he'll still be "on cloud nine" despite being in prison.


Judge Sheward says he granted Renne's request because it's Michigan week and he thought he should do his part for the Buckeyes.

Go bucks!

a judge that likes college football! yeeah for the justice system!

Actually, its pretty sad that someone convicted of a crime can get requested granted like that. I love college football as much as anyone, but isn't he suppose to be punished for his crime!!!

Michigan will punish him for his crime by donkeypunching OSU.





GO BLUE!!! :D

Look at it this way, he saved the judge, jury, lawyers ect. a crap load of time for his two hours of TV

just another dumb fuck here in ohio showing our "true colors" to the rest of the world :(

*sigh*

That Judge is an idiot. "he granted Renne's request because it's Michigan week and he thought he should do his part for the Buckeyes". Now that OSU lost he shouldn't be re-elected I guess since he didn't do his part for the Buckeyes.

Is it that big of a deal? He was held for an extra 2 days in county. Either way he's being held. Simply put it was forgery...which in certain implications is really bad but its not like he killed 6.

its simple the judge says no to his request then he pleads not gulity stays in county lock up and waste lots of tax payer time and money


i do think that its kind of dumb to ask for a game like that

but you cant blame the judge for helping the system along

I guess he didn't enjoy his game watching experience :)

too bad for him, at least he got to watch the game, I would have done the same thing
