While in court, several witnesses were interrogated for the case of the young man, including middle school principal Mary Podlesny, high school principals William Davis and Tom Blauert, one of the main tormentors Roy Grande, and Nabozny himself. Most of the witnesses supported the young man’s case by explaining the relentless bullying and how nobody took action. However, Mrs. Podlesny still denied having any knowledge of the bullying, which was a very stupid move since both Roy Grande and his mother recalled her being present at a meeting about the situation at Ashland Middle School.
