COMPLETE COVERAGE: BARNETT'S WET EXPOSE & PREDICTIONS

BIG PICTURE

I agree the situation should have been handled better by Barnett. But hindsight is always 20/20. We were all young once, some of us still are. If we all haad a dollar for everything we "should" have done, I would think we would all be rich by now.

I agree. In my tours/travels, I dealt with similar explosive "blown way out of proportion" social situations involving petty "celebrity mad" low lifes who do not respect your privacy. For pete's sake, people have got to learn to get along and to go along,but one needs to know when to walk away from unpleasant, miserable low lifes..

Special prosecutor to take over Barnett case. District attorney's husband may be a witness in case.

In the latest twist to the Nick Barnett bar-fight case, the husband of Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider could be a potential witness. Because of that, Schneider said Friday she would appoint a special prosecutor to handle a possible battery case against Barnett, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Barnett was arrested early June 17 outside Wet, a downtown Appleton nightspot, after allegedly pushing a female patron inside the bar during an argument. Barnett, 26, was arrested and booked into the Outagamie County Jail on a battery charge. He was released an hour later after posting a $500 cash bond.

Schneider said Friday that her husband, Kory, works for an area dealership that has sold cars to Barnett. In addition, her husband played with Barnett in a June 18 charity softball game at Fox Cities Stadium. "And, at that game, my husband overheard Mr. Barnett on a phone making a comment about the case, and depending on what his defense in the case is going to be, that could be an issue," said Schneider. With her husband as a potential witness and his past dealings at the dealership, Schneider said the potential conflicts make it necessary to seek a special prosecutor. Schneider said she hopes to know who that will be by Monday.

According to police, Barnett was involved in an altercation at Wet, 344 W. College Ave., around 2 a.m. Barnett allegedly pushed a woman to the floor. She was not injured. An argument then ensued outside the Division Street side of the establishment between Barnett and a woman identified as one of the co-owners of the club. That incident drew the attention of police, who then learned of the incident inside the club and made the arrest. he club's co-owner, Kathy Peotter, told The Post-Crescent on June 20 that the incident has been "blown out of proportion." She said she was not arguing with Barnett outside of the club, and that a woman threw a drink at Barnett prior to the alleged shoving incident.


Note: Apparently the co-owner feels partly responsible, i.e. guilt, for the police getting involved, i.e. her statement saying "...Blown way out of proportion."

Quote: Here is what a former Wisconsin resident said, "Here I go again, only because this subject does not go away. The new and official Wisconsin-state theme song: Its all small town psychology after all...As a former Wisconsinite who is now on the outside looking in on you portly fish- THIS IS ALL VERY EMBARRASSING AND RIDICULOUS. I am going to continue to post these outside observations until this subject goes away. This DA is now mentally torturing Barnett while pretending to be important. Do you have any real crime issues that need attention in the Valley?"

Maybe some old MAN might but a panocha like you wouldn't do anything but tuck your lil blue tail between your legs and scamper away.

Oh no. I ain't afraid to fight a woman. Well, as long as she doesn't know karate, or have hairy arm pits.

I remember one time, I was in a gay bar with a girl that I knew (her mom was a gay) anyway, there were a bunch of big, butch lesbians. I was 21, probably 155 lbs at the time. They were big girls, probalby 220 or so with their sleeves rolled up and what not. They were all arm wrestling. I was like "I'll arm wrestle" I honestly thought I was going to lose.

I ended up taking down the whole bar of lesbians. They were giving me dirty "man hater" looks. I was still proud My friend never invited me back

VERY WEAK CASE

'Special Prosecutor' Appointed in Packers' Nick Barnett Case

The battery case against Packers' linebacker Nick Barnett was turned over to Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider this past Tuesday, but it didn't stay in her hands for long. According to a report by Dan Wilson of PackersNews.com, Schneider had to appoint a special prosecutor to take over the case because her husband, Kory, is a potential witness. Apparently, Kory Schneider participated in Brett Favre's charity softball game on June 18th; an event that Nick Barnett did briefly attend, only hours after being released from jail. During the very limited time Barnett was in attendance, Kory overheard a phone conversation in which the arrest was brought up. "And, at that game, my husband overheard Mr. Barnett on a phone making a comment about the case, and depending on what his defense in the case is going to be, that could be an issue," said Carrie Schneider. In addition to hearing that phone conversation, Kory has sold several cars to Barnett in the past. Those factors make it an obvious risk for the prosecution, who appear to have a very weak case as it is.

Door prosecutor to take over Barnett case

The Door County District Attorney has agreed to accept an appointment as a special prosecutor in the Nick Barnett case. Outagamie County District Attotney Carrie Schneider said Monday that Door County District Attorney. Ray Pelrine would take over the case. Schneider said Friday she was stepping down from the case because of a conflict of interest.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Barnett, 26, is facing a possible criminal charge arising from a June 17 altercation in an Appleton bar.
Schneider said her husband is a manager with a local vehicle dealership where Barnett has made purchases. Also, her husband inadvertently overheard a cell phone conversation Barnett had with someone later that day about the incident. Schneider said she would forward her reports to Door County and they will be in Pelrine’s hands on Thursday.
