Law Student Fights for His Laptop

An Arizona State University law student fights off attacker for homework-filled laptop

A home invasion robber landed himself in the hospital after demanding a bit too much from a first-year law student – namely his laptop. A little more than a week ago, Gabriel Saucedo broke into Alex Botsios’ apartment and demanded cash along with other property. Botsios, a law student at Arizona State University, initially complied with the robber by giving him his wallet and even guitars, but things got ugly when Saucedo went for the laptop.

Saucedo had snuck into the apartment through an open window, early in the morning and even though he was armed with a baseball bat, the student began fighting tooth and nail for his laptop and with good reason. He told the local television station that he had all of his case notes and four months of homework stored on the computer. He added, “Don’t mess with my computer.”

Botsios won the brawl by disarming Saucedo and punching him in the face. Police arrived, took Saucedo to the hospital to get stitched up and then charged him with armed robbery and kidnapping. Botsios survived the ordeal with just a few scratches and a bruised knuckle.

Does anyone want to bet that Botsios had more than just his homework on the laptop?
