here are some Pics of Flash that faithful day
Brett Somers (nickname is Flash) is facing the prospect of a ridiculous felony obscenity charge for streaking Tiger Stadium on September 4, 2004 during the rain delay prior to the LSU vs Oregon State game. Streaking (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaking ) non-sexual act of taking off one's clothes and running naked through a public place. In many modern western societies like the UK, streaking is considered as a rather innocent act. On June 26th he is scheduled to stand trial by jury for a felony obscenity charge which is recommended by the District Attorney Doug Moreau's. If Brett will be convicted for this, he will be considered as a sex-offender which has far reaching and grim consequences for his future life as employers and also many appartment complexes screen for thing like being a sex-offender. Additionally, this case has the potential to be used as a precedent for all future cases involving streaking or similar acts. I also think he could lose Federal Funding for school, whitch is a bad thing for anybody..
His letter to the Rugby Club..
People of Baton Rouge Rugby,
As many of you know I am the guy that streaked Tiger Stadium on September 4, 2004 during the rain delay prior to the LSU vs Oregon State game, hence the nickname "Flash". The legal ramifications for this indiscretion have yet to be resolved. On June 26th I am scheduled to stand trial by jury for a felony obscenity charge. Essentially, if I am convicted I will be considered a sex offender. While I agree that I should incur some penalty for this infraction, I do not agree with the District Attorney Doug Moreau's recommendation that I be charged with a felony. Additionally, this case has the potential to be used as a precedent for all future cases involving streaking or similar acts.
Here is where you can help if you are interested. I need a hand finding witnesses, who would be willing to testify that they saw me streak the field and that they thought it was funny or did not find it offensive. While people whom our social prejudices would find most influential (clean cut, pillars of society, moms) are preferred, anyone willing to testify would be very helpful. I am trying to compile as large a list as possible. Some of you have provided names of people in the past and I Thank You, but I need to find more people. If I have enough people to testify it will help to convince the jury and judge that these charges are inappropriate for the crime. If you or anyone you know would be willing to help out and testify I would be most gracious. If you could forward names and contact information to me I will contact them directly and pass the information on to my lawyer. I appreciate any help you can lend regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Flash
