PITTSBURGH — Duquesne power forward Stuard Baldonado did not act as a lookout for a man accused of selling marijuana and he expects to be fully exonerated of the charges against him, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Baldonado, 22, one of five basketball players shot on campus last year, was arrested Friday in Pittsburgh and charged with criminal conspiracy involving the manufacture, delivery or possession of a controlled substance. He was indefinitely suspended from the university and the basketball team Wednesday.

Teresa Toriseva, an attorney who represents Baldonado in a civil lawsuit against the university as a result of the September 2006 shooting, said Baldonado is exploring options that will allow him to return to class.
