If a 19-year-old California man follows through with his assigned counseling and other requirements of a first offenders’ program, his criminal conviction will be dismissed. Cell phone video showed Aiden Faust and two other students beating and kicking a fellow student while he was on the ground outside Sellery Hall last May. The victim suffered a broken wrist and a concussion. Faust was originally charged with a felony, but the Dane County judge allowed him to plead guilty to misdemeanor battery Monday if he takes part in the program.
