The head football coach of Pleasure Ridge Park High School has been charged with reckless homicide in the death of a 15-year-old player who collapsed from heat stroke at practice.
It's the first time a criminal charge has been filed in such a case involving a high school or college coach in the United States, according to sports experts.
David Jason Stinson was indicted Thursday by a Jefferson County grand jury in the death of sophomore lineman Max Gilpin, who collapsed Aug. 20 and died three days later at Kosair Children's Hospital, after his body temperature had reached 107 degrees.
If convicted, Stinson could be sentenced to five years in prison. His attorney, Alex Dathorne, said Stinson was "shocked" by the indictment.
"He will maintain his innocence, and I believe this will be tried in front of a jury where they will hear all of the evidence, including the testimony of Mr. Stinson," Dathorne said.
Jefferson Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Stengel, who made no recommendation to the grand jury, said grand jurors didn't find that Stinson's actions were intentional or malicious.
He said reckless homicide occurs when a "person fails to perceive a risk that a reasonable person in that situation would have seen" and that person's actions cause a death.
Stinson, who continued to direct the football team through the rest of its season, has been "reassigned to non-instructional duties, pending the outcome of the case," Lauren Roberts, spokeswoman for Jefferson County Public Schools, said Thursday.
Clarification: If the coach pleads out to a lower charge the market will consider the coach guilty, if the case is thrown out the market will be settled as innocent.
