This could be the twist that shutters the program in ways not envisioned prior.

Good luck on zipp responding.

Wine and Powell. Incompetent or corrupt? So much for the ham sandwich theory.

 

[Cardsstink]

Well it's almost ESPN front page material but not quite.....

Institutions cannot be criminally guilty, just individuals. These charges would be against McGee and Powell and others similarly situated, which to my mind, had the grand jury indicted, would have deflected liability from the institutions to some degree, unless there was some compelling showing that institutional authorities were encouraging the criminal conduct.

Just FYI, your first statement is not true. Happens every day, though not for prostitution of course.

Good. Can't wait for the 'discovery' portion of these cases to be made public. Should be fun!

 

[ulismyman]

I thought this was over??? No indictments

 

[Tyblue22]

OP, not true. The jury heard the evidence and declined to indict. Other than what the NCAA does, its over. There will be no criminal charges, and no jail time for anyone involved.

I thought they already went criminal and now we're in cover up and minimize mode?

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Why is McGee not being indicted? I'm sure UL is glad he isn't available to run his mouth. Behind closed doors deal UL pulled off or totally to do with McGee?

I wonder in circumstances like this if the prosecutor didn't actually want an indictment. I'm not trying to criticize the prosecutor's integrity, but wonder if the prosecutor's heart wasn't really in it for this case.

So much evidence and so much unethical behavior for a university, why just let it go? Makes you wonder how much other stuff they sweep under the rug.

County prosecutor UL fan?

Because Zipp's body cavities are full of cream filling.

Pimptino's HoHos!!

 

[Tyblue22]

could be, who knows. Also could be the case where the judge only allows the grand jury to hear to hear specific evidence. He may have given them strict rules, and left out alot.

 

[Kybluedude]

County prosecutor UL fan?

I think UL grad and UL law school grad. Explains a lot

Grand Jury hearings are not made public

 

[KeepingItReal74]

Grand Jury hearings are not made public

Correct. Nor is the evidence admitted or not admitted.

 

[docholiday51]

Correct. Nor is the evidence admitted or not admitted.

Also correct,I find it hard to believe there is not enough information/evidence to indict someone if the Commonwealth's Attorney wanted to do so.

That's the key. If THEY wanted to. Grand jury and the legal system is political as well.

Hell,the book contained enough info to indict Powell and McGee,if the NCAA gathered any information at all they found enough for an indictment and the Grand Jury could have subpoenaed both,a sitting Grand Jury is one of the most powerful bodies in the legal system,most Grand Jury members don't know that and the C/A doesn't want them to find out.

Yeah, just a whole book and all kinds of witnesses. Guess at this point it would take only one of the players parents to press things. Looks like none of those players parents care enough to even speak out on it at the least.

Why is McGee not being indicted?

He and Powell are not out of the woods yet. Sending and receiving money across state lines for the purpose of illegal activities is a federal crime.

Is it possible that UL could be behind McGee laying low so he doesn't have to testify possibly bringing out more evidence against UL? Or if they aren't doing this could they be sweating that he may eventually be made to testify?

 

[UKvisitor]

If the feds did get involved, the irony of Pitino and his cronies on the other side of a fed investigation. (That would make a certain blonde living in a halfway house smile. She would call it destiny.)

I've said this from day 1. Isn't what McGee did (sending $$$ across state lines) covered in the RICO Act? Really surprised the Feds haven't moved on this.
I'm sure Powell would turn State's evidence to keep herself out of prison.

LOL.
Seriously, I know it's a comparatively small amount of money. But, it was used to pay for hookers, for under-age kids.
