Judge Refuses To Dismiss Assault Charges Against Rand Paul Supporter

Police say Tim Profitt stepped on 23-year-old MoveOn.org activist Lauren Valle's head before a debate in Lexington between Paul and Jack Conway.

5. Excellent.
I hope he throws the book at him.

It's good to see a judge doing the right thing. There have been a few lately. I hope it's becoming a trend.
