Dell Schanze's Trial Gets Underway
May 10th, 2006 @ 12:00pm
WEST JORDAN, Utah (AP/KSL) -- The trial for the former owner of Totally Awesome Computers got underway this morning.
This morning before Schanze went into court, he asked the public to pray to justice in his case, insisting that he is innocent of the charge presented against him.
Dell Schanze, Former Owner of Totally Awesome Computers: "Pray for justice to be done, cause the truth is on my side. God cannot be used to skew the truth. Also, pray for a state that would issue you a concealed carry permit, but then arrest you the first time you use it to defend yourself."
The trial began with Dell Schanze pleading guilty to a reduced charge. Prosecutors reduced his reckless driving charge to speeding.
Meanwhile, both sides presented their opening arguments, and prosecutors called several witnesses to the stand.
Schanze still faces two misdemeanor charges of making threats with a dangerous weapon in a fight and making written false statements. The charges stem for an incident in Draper last year when Schanze was confronted by angry neighbors who said he was speeding through their neighborhood. When one of them threatened to damage his car, Schanze allegedly drew his gun.
Schanze says he drew the gun in self defense.
The trial is expected to last three days.
