Judge rules Wroten can return to Garfield

The Seattle P-I reports Tony Wroten, Junior can return to Garfield High School immediately.

A judge granted the family a temporary injunction to allow Wroten to return to Garfield as the legal case continues. During a hearing in King County Superior Court, Judge Eric Watness said he was granting the injunction because "it would do irreparable harm to Tony Wroten's education if he stayed out of school." -- Seattle P-I's website 12/17/08

According to the article, Wroten can return to school once his family posts a $25,000 civil bond. Generally, you don't have to pay the full amount of bond required by a judge. It's usually a smaller amount, like 10%. As of this posting, we were unable to find out the actual costs. The judge has set January 21st as the next hearing in the case.

Wroten can resume basketball activities once he resumes classes at Garfield. For more on the Wroten case, you can read the P-I's article here.
