I originally posted about Greg Burr here. He is in court now, and still laughing, in front of the judge and jury, about the times he hit his students in the nuts with basketballs, tennis balls, clipboards and other objects. He even put candy down his pants and then fed it to a student.

From FoxNews here:

A former high school basketball coach on trial for hitting players in the groin with basketballs, a clipboard and other objects took the stand Monday and called himself a fun-loving coach and that some players were lying.

Gregory Lynn Burr, 29, is charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and other counts. He is accused of hitting nine 14- to 16-year-old boys during the 2005-06 season at Monument Academy.

Burr, smiling and laughing as he recalled some of the incidents, recalled four incidents in which he said he hit players in the groin accidentally.

In one instance, he passed a basketball that hit a student in the groin. Burr said he wasn’t looking when he passed the ball and that he laughed, adding that he felt bad.

He also described how a player stuck a piece of candy down his pants then allowed another player to eat it, unknowingly.

District Judge David Miller has told jurors Burr is accused of assaulting the students for abuse, not sexual gratification.

I think it should be a requirement that the teachers are actually adults, not oversized child imbeciles.
