Ex-Olympian to argue self-defense in domestic violence case (The Associated Press)
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. Street, 44, told 911 dispatchers that she ”put” her father Roland Street down the stairs after he pulled her hair and scratched her face, according to a recording of the call. 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.
