Michael Cartellone (ex-Damn Yankees and Ted Nugent) has been Skynyrd's drummer for about a decade. It's probably a contracted/salaried position but he appears in group photos and does his job quite well, IMO

"Pyle pleaded guilty in 1993 in Duval County on charges of attempted capital sexual battery by an adult

on a victim younger than 12 and principal to lewd and lascivious on a child younger than 16. He was sentenced

to eight years of probation and designated as a sex offender. He was arrested in 1992 after two girls — 4- and

8-year-old sisters — told investigators Pyle had sex with them. "

What a piece of shit. :D

As with any famous person there are going to be supporters filling the Internet with accounts of how the accusers lied, and that has happened in the case of Artimus Pyle. The guy got off with no jail time, so maybe a judge suspected something was not right at the trial. It is all speculation, but in Florida I doubt they let child molesters off easy.

Typically if you plead guilty, you get a reduced sentence. And celebrities, get an extra light penalty. Be that as

it may, if he did indeed commit the crime, he IS a piece of shit. I'm not the a huge LS fan, but I'd never heard

that he'd been convicted of those type of crimes. (Scratch Gomer off my Christmas card list).

BINGO!

There is a HUGE difference between being accused of something and being convicted of something. As I read somewhere, any DA can convict a guilty person. A GOOD DA can convict an innocent person.

Guess someone has to be there to make the judgment....

Just sayin'

He's from Solon, up here in northeastern Ohio. I'm good friends with a cousin of his. I met him when he was still in Damn Yankees. Great guy with no ego.
