July 18, 1975
A Jury in Hennepin County, Minnesota was dismissed after unable to come to a verdict in the trial of ice hockey player Dave Forbes of Boston Bruins, the first athlete indicted for excessive violence during play. He was accused of deliberately hitting opposing player Henry Boucha in the eye with his hockey stick and then pounding his head into the ice. (The video is of a 1980 game between the same two teams.)
