Two former Boston College football players yesterday were ordered to serve one year of pretrial probation for their roles in a bar brawl near North Station in which a patron was seriously injured.
One of the players, Gosder Cherilus, also was ordered to pay the victim $52,000 toward his medical bills
Boston Municipal Court Judge Paul K. Leary ordered Cherilus and Tribble, both of whom were selected in April's NFL draft, to stay away from Maney and ruled that the charges against them would be dismissed if they abide by the court order and stay out of trouble for a year. Each was charged with one count of assault and battery and one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (a shod foot).
Maney, 29, a software engineer from Watertown, testified in a preliminary hearing that Cherilus grabbed him in a choke hold and dragged him across a dance floor before they crashed into a table. Maney said Cherilus and Tribble punched and kicked him while he lay on the ground.
"I thought I was going to die up there that night," he testified.
Cherilus, a 6-foot-7-inch, 314-pound offensive tackle who was selected 17th overall by the Detroit Lions
The players, competing as fifth-year seniors,
