Screech actor wants to use concealed carry expert at trial
PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. (AP) The actor who portrayed Screech on the 1990s TV show "Saved by the Bell" wants to use a concealed carry instructor as an expert at his trial next week.
Dustin Diamond is on trial for allegedly stabbing a man at a bar on Christmas. He was charged in January with one felony count of recklessly endangering safety and misdemeanor charges of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the trial is scheduled for next week.
The 37-year-old Diamond has admitted he opened a small pocket knife after bar patrons struck his fiance. A judge wants to review expected testimony from the concealed carry instructor before allowing it at trial.
Diamond did not have a concealed carry permit.
