Ex-olympian To Argue Self-defense In Domestic Violence Case

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A lawyer for Olympic gold-medalist skier Picabo Street said Thursday that she was defending herself during a December fight with her father and will demand a jury trial on domestic violence and assault charges. Attorney Joe Wrona said that the ex-Olympian called 911 for help after her father attacked her, and she doesn't plan to strike a plea deal with prosecutors. Picabo Street told dispatchers her dad started the fight after he bumped his car into her house in snowy weather and she tried to help dig it out so her parents could use her car. Picabo Street had an illustrious skiing career highlighted by a gold medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in the women's super-G event.
