| Tocchet gets probation from thestar.com:
Rick Tocchet was ordered Friday to serve two years probation for his role in the gambling ring.
Tocchet, 43, could have received up to five years in state prison. However, there is a presumption against incarceration for first-time offenders who plead guilty to third- or fourth-degree crimes.
That means the retired Philadelphia Flyer is unlikely to serve any time for his crimes...
An assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes under Wayne Gretzky, Tocchet partnered with a New Jersey state trooper and another man in a sports betting venture they ran for five years. He was placed on indefinite leave from his job after he was charged.
some dirty business taken care of - interesting to see if gretzky welcomes him back. |
