Dustin Diamond Ordered to Stand Trial over Alleged Stabbing
http://www.people.com/article/dustin-diamond-to-stand-trial
Former Saved by the Bell star Dustin Diamond will stand trial for allegedly stabbing a man at a bar in Port Washington, Wisconsin.
Diamond, 37, was charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon after he admitted he was armed with a knife during a fight Dec. 25 at the Grand Avenue Saloon.
Diamond, who was interviewed after he left the bar, told police he was defending his 27-year-old fiancée, Amanda Schutz.
Diamond's defense attorney, Thomas Alberti, says no one saw the former child star stab anyone during the altercation, but after hearing a police officer's testimony, an Ozaukee County judge ruled there was sufficient evidence to bind Diamond over for trial.
"There is no evidence Dustin Diamond touched anyone with his knife," Alberti tells PEOPLE. "Dustin didn't reach out or slash out or throw his arms around and try to wound someone. He merely flashed the pocket knife to try to stop the harm that was befalling his wife."
According to a criminal complaint, Diamond claimed the incident began after he declined to shake the hand of a woman who was bumping into his girlfriend. Soon after, he said, a man confronted him. He said he decided to pay, get their coats and leave, but a "brawl" erupted.

‘Saved By The Bell’ Star Dustin Diamond Charged With Murder After Stabbing Victim Dies
http://empirenews.net/saved-by-the-...arged-with-murder-after-stabbing-victim-dies/
Former Saved By The Bell star Dustin Diamond, best known for his awkwardly hilarious character Samuel “Screech” Powers on the timeless popular hit teen television series Saved By The Bell, has been charged with second-degree murder after a man he stabbed during a barroom brawl has died at a Wisconsin hospital.
Diamond, 37, initially told police that he accidentally stabbed the man with what he said was a ‘pen’, although he later referred to the weapon, which was never found, as a knife. According to Diamond, while trying to defend his fiance, 27-year-old Amanda Schutz, at the Grand Avenue Saloon in Port Washington, where Diamond is a resident, he was forced to brandish the weapon.
Diamond was initially charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct, and carrying a concealed weapon and was released on $10,000 bail before the man, only being referred to by the name of ‘Casey’ per request of family, passed away. Originally reported that Casey was completely fine and his wounds mostly superficial, reports say he took a turn for the worse after a wound from the fight became infected. He died on the operating room table.
Port Washington Police Department spokesperson Marvin Maxwell made the public announcement this morning that Diamond is now being sought for charges of second-degree murder.
