Was this guy a former figure skater or something? While I don't know the ins and outs of figure skating, from what I saw in Mao Asada's free skate program, she gave it her all and even got a season's best. In fact, her free skate score was the 3rd best of the day. And this was just a day after her disappointing short program.

Seems like a childish prank. Thankfully, they didn't use some kind of metal wire that could have easily decapitated her.

Simply put, $2 Million bail means he won't be going anywhere. I don't know why the judge didn't deny bond in the first place.

Glad she's still alive. I was always a little scared when walking by the archery field at my university, even when there was nobody there. :P
