SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A lawyer for Olympic gold medalist skier Picabo Street says she will be cleared of domestic violence and assault charges because she was defending herself in a December fight with her father.
Attorney Joe Wrona said Thursday that he will demand a jury trial in the misdemeanor case against her.
Prosecutors say Street threw her 76-year-old father down the stairs and locked him in the basement during a fight at her home near Park City on Dec. 23.
Street called 911 and told dispatchers her father attacked her, but prosecutors have said she was the primary aggressor.
