Movie showing a highly sought-after high school basketball prospect from Ohio collapsing in court after he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for kidnapping and assaulting girlfriend is making the rounds on the Internet this week.

Classroom cameras captured the shock on the faces of the 18-year-old Tony contadino as judge Pamela Barker read aloud details of his incarceration.

"I have had three years?" the basketball star clearly stunned (and somewhat confusing) was heard asking his lawyer aloud, as Barker continued with condemnation, slaps farmer with two years for felonious assault and two years for robbery.

Her family friends, who had assumed that he would get only a telling off, sobbed and cried loudly before carrying out of the classroom.

"I have not done yet," Barker sternly said from the bench, as an officer of the Court struggled to bring the farmer at his feet.

"Tony, come on Tony," the farmer's lawyer, Joe Dubyak said. "Not as bad as you think it is".

After the farmer got back up, judge Barker explained to him that its terms would be served concurrently, and that he would only spend three years behind bars.

Farmer, a rising high school senior, was indicted in may due to a fight with his now ex-girlfriend Andrea Lane at his condo in April 2011.

Prosecutors said cameras in the lobby and parking services captured peasant as he assaulted Lane, dragged her by her hair and then took his mobile phone, bank card, laptop and car keys. (See below)

Farmer was also charged with intimidation for sending Lane, threatening text messages and voicemails.

Believe it or not, before his conviction, ex-girlfriend of the farmer provided an impact statement on his behalf, asking the judge not to send him to prison.

"I don't know what kind of help he needs. I don't know what is wrong with him that day. I know that he was a good person. I hope he still is. I hope he learns from this, "Lane said.

Farmer's basketball coach also spoke for him, telling the Court, "I'm here to tell you with my heart, that this young man, if you take a chance in five years from now, he's going to make proud. I don't know. I know him. "

But after reviewing the tape of the assault, the Court decided that some time behind bars was what I deserved farmer.

Judge Barker said of the video:

"Lane is literally cowering in a corner and she is trying to push him away from her. And ultimately, then, he hits her in the head several times as she cowered in the corner. That is what the Court saw on those videotapes and that do not incorporate, as far as I understand it, that's all that has taken place, because this was within the boundaries of this apartment complex.

In addition to the prison sentence, farmer also got probation, and the judge said that he may ask for early release after serving of 180 days. But regardless, with those criminal convictions on his record, it is highly probable that his basketball career is now over.

As a farmer heads to jail, judge says he has only himself to blame for the dark cloud that hangs over his future bright once. "The opportunities that were lost, let me just say that she lost them," said Barker.
