WHERE THE CASE STANDS
Minnesota State football coach Todd Hoffner took the stand Wednesday and asked a Blue Earth County district judge to dismiss child pornography charges, arguing that he should have never been arrested.
"There was nothing inappropriate about any of these videos," Hoffner said of images a technician found on his school-issued cellphone when he took it to the campus IT department because it had malfunctioned.
District Judge Krista Jass gave attorneys until Nov. 14 to file written briefs. She said she'll decide on the motion after that.
