[QUOTE="LawTalkin Jacket, post: 707546, member: 1238"] I watched last night and I think it was definitely worth my time. I am a lawyer (not a criminal defense lawyer) and man it looked like a weak case and even if it wasn't technically entrapment, you would think jurors would see how much this case smelled. The fact that the FBI informant likely stole the cash and that was never disclosed seems like a Brady violation which should get the guy new trials, BUT I was floored that the judges quashed the defendant's subpoenas to the FBI informant. If I am bored I may go dig up the filings. Seem Dawkins should have been able to confront the informant in court AND would seem relevant that the coaches or school presidents should have had to come per subpoena and be cross-examined as to whether they were "victims" of beneficiaries of the "scheme." wow. BUT, as it relates to NCAA sports, it screams out to me that GT had been handicapped for years and years with a Russell shoe deal and been missing out on the Adidas $$ and connections. It may not be a coincidence that, once GT went Adidas, Pastner is able to get K. Sturdivant and Usher, and coach Collins to get Jeff Simms, etc. What I learned made me optimistic about GT in view of the Adidas connection. [/QUOTE]
