Jason Stinson Speaks- Charges Expected Monday

Saturday night, former Pleasure Ridge Park High School ((KY)) head football coach Jason Stinson ((pictured, thanks Fox 41 Louisville)) spoke to supporters outside his home 36 hours before he was set to face reckless homicide charges.

Stinson is charged in the death of a PRP sophomore, Max Gilpin, who collapsed during an August 2008 practice and died three days later from complications of heat stroke. Gilpin's body temperature reached 107. Stinson is accused of failing to render aid and denying his players water.

PRP students and Stinson supporters, assistant coaches included, arrived to show their support for Stinson on the football field at PRP and on Stinson's doorstep. The embattled coach briefly appeared to say a few words to those who showed.

The report from Fox 41 in Louisville is below...
It is understood the Gilpin family will be in a Jefferson County ((KY)) courtroom on Monday to see Stinson's case as it is brought to a judge.
