The 04 draft pick of the Flyers as well as three years in the WHL with Tri-City and the T-Birds will officially be sent to the sin-bin.

He started to play pro in 07 with HC Kosice of the Slovakian Extraliga where his team won a league title. He also played for Slovakia at two U20 World Championships and two U18 World Championships.

He was officially charged with the Murder of a ref in 2008. He was will spend 8 years which is different from what the prosecution was aiming for, which was 15.

He (Scurko) was convicted of murder and sentenced to eight years which is the minimum for an offense such as this.

After the final bit of evidence was presented they allowed the prosecutor, the injured party’s legal representative, advocate the defendant, substitute counsel and the defendant himself.

The conclusions that were reached by the psychiatric examinations which were taken was that he (Scurko) act committed in a state of diminished sanity.

The court considered a mitigating factor and therefore imposed a sentence at the lower rate.

The court imposed a protective psychiatric outpatient treatment by a prisoner.

This will also give him moderate surveillance. Scurko confessed originally and claimed that the referee, Marek Liptaj, had moved into his home and lied about having cancer.

He attempted to get Liptaj to move out after learning about the cancer lie, but an argument broke out during a drive that ended with Scurko using a kitchen knife to stab him multiple times.

Scurko recanted his statement last year claiming he was tricked into making a “special statement” by local police and now wants to change his plea.

So the statement “SIN-BIN” has a new meaning!!

This is clearly not a MINOR INFRACTION!!!
