Chad Curtis loses appeal

HASTINGS, Mich. -

The state appeals court has affirmed the convictions and sentence of former Major League Baseball player Chad Curtis, who is in prison for sexual misconduct with teenage girls in western Michigan.

Curtis mostly claimed that his attorney was ineffective at key points of the 2013 trial in Barry County. But the appeals court, in a 3-0 decision released Friday, found nothing that would call for a new trial.

Girls at Lakewood High School said Curtis touched them inappropriately while he was a volunteer in the weight room. Curtis denies the allegations but declined to testify at trial.

Curtis, 46, will be eligible for parole in 2020. Separately, he and the school district are being sued by the girls.

Curtis played in Major League Baseball from 1992 through 2001.

If I didn't do something that could put me in prison.....I sure as fuck would testify!!! What's up with that? I didn't really follow the trial. Was there a reason he didn't take the stand?

Unless maybe that was why he was pissed about his attorney lol

Maybe because he was guilty..lots of people don't testify. Maybe he doesn't come off as likable.

I agree with G. though. If you didn't do it you have to get your ass on the stand and defend yourself...
