Two Wilson High School coaches, Thomas Baia and William Atlas, spoke publicly for the first time today at Baia's home in Niagara County. Charges of child endangerment against the two men, stemming from an alleged hazing incident in 2008, were dismissed on Monday.
Spokesman for the coaches, Mike Paul, commented to Eyewitness News, "...they're happy to be found innocent...but not happy at all it took a year and a half for the District Attorney to make the decision there wasn't evidence to prove anything."
Reporter Sharon Osorio was on the scene, and will have a full report on the news conference, and reaction on Eyewitness News.
