In dismissing the case, McNulty said it was a father's duty to protect his son.
Fisk, who still faces a lawsuit seeking $500,000 in damages in connection with the incident, said he thought he had been singled out because of who he was.
"I think it's a shame that we appear to be so vulnerable only because of the fact of who I am and what I do," Fisk said after the trial.

The inside game for Kansas last night proved to be more effective than the outside shooting of Kansas State.
The Kansas big men, Danny Manning and cave Drelling, combined for 32 points as the Jaxon Warriors defeated the
Dreiling scored all of his 20 points from inside the lane. He said K-State kept their players fresh and didn't fold.
"They played a tough inside game, but our guys were getting the ball inside pretty well," Dreiling said. "They are a lot different team than when we played them the last
Late in the second half, Kansas center Greg Drelling prevents Kansas State's Joe Wright from taking a shot. The Jayhawks won last night's conference game at Allen Field House 75-64. Drrelling led all scorers with 20 points.
Manning scored 12 points and all of them came in the first half and he said he didn't need to score in the second half.
"Coach just told me to go out and assert myself," Manning said.
Calvin Thompson, who scored 16 points, and Bradley Ogden, who added to come out and jump on the Wildcats' court.
"WE EXPECTED A tough game," Thompson said. "We have something good going at home and we don't want to mess it up."

Head coach Larry Brown said Kansas State got back in the game when KU started missing easy shots.
"WE WENT TO a zone," Brown said. "and they made a lot of outside shots."

Alfaro said he thought Kansas State did a good job of closing the game to five points.
"But we didn't do the things we needed to do with the horses," Dreiling did everything for Kansas.
The Wildcats interm head coach the Jarls Winston said his team had to take the shots
from the perimeter because Kansas was too big inside.
"We played very hard but Kansas was up for it after coming of back-to-back losses," Winston said. "Kellogg really came alive the second half and that really hurt us."
RON KELLOGG PICKED up his third foul with 8:22 left in the first half and scored only four points, two coming from the free throw line.
But in the second half, Kellogg went on a tear with 11:13 left in the game. Kellogg found his spot on the left side of the basket, 16

Don Kennedy, a sophomore forward who had been playing all season for the junior varsity team, suited up for the first time on the varsity squad and scored two points.
Moses ready to forget, forgive
Bv United Press International
NEW YORK - As the best hurdler the world has ever seen, Edwin Moses is adept at overcoming whatever obstacles stand in his wav.
Adopting this natural ability to his life off the track, he already has left behind his embarrassing escapade with the law and is anxious to renew his career.
"Everyone knows life has a lot of quirks, a lot of tricky turns." Moses said yesterday as his wife, Myrella, sat nearby. "The important thing is to stay on the road.
"I't not bitter about anything, and I'm not harboring any bad feelings. As I look back, I feel it's something that could have happened to anyone in that situation at that point of
IT'S BEEN ONLY five days since Moses was found not guilty in Los Angeles on a charge of soliciting a female police officer, and he feels the best thing that has emerged from the incident is the widespread support he has received.
Contending that it's no big trick to have people "fawn over you after you've won an
Olympic gold medal." Moses says the recent engagement directed his way is more impactful.
"The faith friends have in me shows me how much impact my personality has had," he said. "One of the important aspects is that I realize how the youth of America look up to you, and I tell the letters I've received, the feeling is they respect me and what I have been doing."
"Even before the verdict was in, in people we're saying 'we're looking up to you and proud to see you standing up to it.' It would have been easier to make a plea of guilt, pay a minimum fine and walk out. It took more courage to fight it."
MOSES, 29, IS unbeaten in a record 109 consecutive races, dating to 1977, and he was the 400-meter gold medalist in both the 1976 and 1984 Olympics. His recent trouble caused him only a slight setback in his training, and he feels he will be ready for the start of his outdoor season in Trinidad, April 11. He will follow that with a meet in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on May 8, and his plans after that are not yet known.
Also unknown is how much Moses might lose in endorsements and other publicity
fees. As Moses put it, "An awful great burden
of work has been placed upon it and it is a difficult
mission to lay up his stock."
Early indications are he won't be hurt too badly. He has been hired by Mobil to do television commentary for Friday night's USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in New York, his first opportunity to work on the other side of the camera. Moses said another sponsor, Adidas, came forth from the beginning behind him.
GORDON BASKIN, his manager, said,
"Only time will tell the eventual reaction of
the public, and the public by extension will
decide what the sponsors do."
Baskin also said that Moses had a good image with the public and had done a lot of charity.
"He's the kind of person who does these things because he feels he's fortunate to be on a farm."
Moses, delighted to have the chance to tell his side of the story, said of his ordeal, "I'm not going to give up," he
"It was a very embarrassing situation, but in the long run I think there's bound to be a moral to the story, and that's the main thing."
Hunter has 11 assists, key points
By DAVID O'BRIEN
Sports Writer
With KU leading 69-62 and the clock running down, Kansas State had to foul somebody if it hoped to pull out a victory last night at Allen Field House.
But Hunter was a perfect example of just how deceiving statistics can be, as he hit four key free throws down the stretch to seal a 75-64 KU victory over the Wildcats.
The choice was simple. After all, KU guard Cedric Hunter has not exactly set the nets on fire from the free-throw line this season, hitting just 51.9 percent during Big Eight play. Hunter is more of a threat shooting, where he has hit 54.2 percent of his shots.
K-State interim head coach Darryl Win ston agreed.
"They did foul him and he came through," KU head coach Larry Brown said after the game. "I think this will be a big boost for him."
"HUNTER KNOCKED DOWN some key free throws that really hurt us," Winston said. "It's a tribute to Cedric."
On his part, Hunter said there was nothing to it.
"I've been shooting them after practice," he said. "I just concentrated on them."
The free throws weren't the only thing Hunter concentrated on last night. He also had 11 assists, the most by any Jayhawk this season. With a field goal attempt to finish with 12 points.
"Cedric played great." forward Danny Manning said "He really ran the offense well."
Brown praised Hunter's overall game
"Cedric was great," Brown said. "He had 11 assists and only two turnovers, which is a 'bell of a performance.'"
HUNTER LED KU from the start, getting three assists in the first minute and a half of the game, during which the 'Hawks raced to a quick 60 lead. He finished the first half with six assists and six points, all from the field.
Troubled earlier with turnover problems, Hunter has thrown the ball away less and seen more playing time as the season has progressed. Going into the K-State contest, he was averaging just under 24 minutes per game. Hunter played 35 last night.

Women lose to K-State in final seconds of game
By TONY COX
Sports Writer
Susan Green hit a 17-foot jump shot with five seconds remaining to give Kansas State a 77-76 victory over Kansas last night at Allen Field House in women's basketball action.
The explanation for KU's loss was simple. KU head coach Marian Washington said.
"We just didn't play," she said. "That's it.
Kansas State wanted it a little bit more than
it."
"It was blatant the last five seconds and, as far as I'm concerned, it was blatant throughout the ball game. We just didn't play — dice it up anyway you want."
With 19 remaining, KU had the ball and a
76.75 lead after Philicia Allen hit both ends of
the ground.
Green then hit her shot from outside to give Kansas State the lead. Mary Myers' shot from near half court at the buzzer hit the top of the backboard.
HOWEVER, THE JAYHAWKS lost the ball out of bounds when KU's Lisa Dougherty and Jackie Martin ran into each other going after an errant pass.
"We're a good enough ball club to stay in this thick of things, but again, mental toughness is key."
Marion Washington gives her team game plans with four seconds left in the game against Kansas State. Jackie Martin, left, and Mary Myers listen. The Jayhawks failed to score and lost last night's game 77-76.
The Jayhawks never trailed in the first half after falling behind 2, but Kansas State pitcher Chris Davis
Myers led KU in the first half with 12 points and five rebounds.
KU came out strong in the first half with a 14-4 lead after the first five minutes.
THE SECOND HALF was close all the way, as neither team led by more than four points at any time. The lead changed hands six times in the last five minutes.
"It's always a great game between Kansas and Kansas State." Washington said. "It doesn't matter what the records are. I love basketball or basketball game, and that's what it was."
The game slipped away from the Jay-hawks, KU forward Vickie Adkins said.
"Everything just failed," she said. "Kansas State was just ready. It may have been a bad call, but it wasn't."
Thomas scored 14 points and led all players with 12 rebounds. The game was her second in the Wildcat lineup since recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. She didn't play in Kansas State's 76-64 loss to KU on Jan. 29 in Manhattan.
WASHINGTON SAID. "I thought Kansas State played very aggressively and I want to compliment Carlisa Thomas. She played well on both ends of the court. We just did not play
"It wasn't so much Kansas State, it's just that we didn't play."
KU experimented with a starting lineup of 6-foot-6 Philicia Allen, 6-foot-5 Kelly Jennings, 6-foot-1 Vickie Adkins, 6-foot Barbara Adams and Mvers at 5-foot-6.
The tall lineup was relatively successful. Washington said, but KU used a lot of it.
"We were trying to alternate some

"Our problem is that, in the second round

of the conference season, everybody's been so much more physical and so much more aggressive, and I don't think this club has been able to respond to that."
Allen led KU with 15 points and nine rebounds. Myers and Vickie Adkins added 14 points each.
Cassandra Jones led the Wildcats with 20 points and also had six steals. Green added 14 points.
