What was Maurice Clarett charged with?

On February 10, 2006, Maurice Clarett was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on two counts of aggravated robbery with gun speculations and five other counts. If convicted, he would be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.

On February 22, 2006, Clarett pleaded not guilty to aggravated robbery charges. He was released on $20,000 bail until his trial began.

At a status hearing held on August 9, 2006, about the January charges, Franklin County Common Pleas Judges David Fais increased Clarett’s bond to $1.1 million. This was due to Clarett’s arrest earlier in the morning.

This hearing had not been requested by either the prosecution or Clarett’s defence team but was requested by Fias himself. At the hearing, Fais delayed the trial until September 18, 2006, revoked the $1.1 million bond in the case and ordered Clarett to undergo a mental health evaluation.
