Two student athletes from Portland State University- basketball players Jeremiah Dominquez, who plays guard, and Scott Morrison- apparently got into a fight with a student from Lansing, Michigan in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Morrison allegedly beat Kyle Meagher, 23, with a baseball bat. Dominquez got arrested when he ran. Meagher's in a Mexican hospital recovering. Both Dominquez and Morrison had their charges dropped after Morrison's parents reached a financial agreement with Meagher's family.
How's that for Mexican justice? Kind of makes you wonder if the fact that the two PSU players got favorable treatment just because they appeared on TV in some basketball tournament. Or if the federales made some bribery deal with the parties? Of course, here in America, the two players would likely face justice in court and do some time being bars. But, in Mexico, it appears that you can beat someone up and- for the right amount of dinero or peso- make it all pretty and go away.
Tell that to Kyle Meagher, who has a broken jaw and has internal bleeding.
