The Reggie Bush saga grows

February 13, 2008

In another bizarre turn in the lawsuit brought against former USC star Reggie Bush, the deposition of New Era Sports co-founder Lloyd Lake came to an unexpected halt Tuesday after a man sitting in on the proceedings revealed he was carrying a handgun.

I’m no lawyer, but I’m guessing that’s a big no-no. Way to intimidate the opposition.

Also, ESPN continues not to mention that Bush’s lawyer, David Cornwell, either is a legal analyst for ESPN as I’ve blogged about before. Can anyone tell me why a bigger deal isn’t being made about this? ESPN likes to pretend it has journalistic integrity, and this is ethically wrong on so many levels. Then again, a lawyer reportedly bringing an armed observer to a deposition isn’t very ethical either. So maybe Cornwell and ESPN are a perfect fit.
