 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A prosecutor is opposing former Ohio State
(AP) -- football star Maurice Clarett's request for early release from
prison.
      Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien says Clarett hasn't made
a strong case that he should be released so early.
      He was sentenced in September 2006 to serve at least 3 1/2 years
for a holdup outside a Columbus bar and a separate highway chase
that ended with police finding loaded guns in his SUV.
      Clarett has asked the Ohio Parole Board for a pardon, reprieve
or commutation of his sentence.
      His attorney says Clarett has an opportunity to play NFL, arena
or Canadian professional football if he's released within a few
months.
      Clarett led the Buckeyes as a tailback to the 2002 national
championship.
