re: Per Scott McKay Facebook post, LSU compliance department scuttles reinstatement of Wade...

I remember when you called this back when the Yahoo story broke.

I also addressed the outright absurdity of the defense calling Wade in the first place, who would only make sense as a witness for the prosecution. So, just so we're clear, they are calling an adverse witness in a criminal proceeding. Adverse witnesses have their place sometimes, but it is rare, and even rarer in a criminal setting

At the end of the day, Wade is probably right about his role in that trial. After the mess the leak of those transcripts has made of his job and his program, and at this point it’s positively not resolved if any of it can be fixed to either the coach or LSU’s satisfaction, it’s difficult to see how Will Wade is going to be much of a friendly witness for Christian Dawkins’ attorneys if and when he shows up to the federal court in New York. What lawyer is going to call a witness with a grudge against his client if he doesn’t have to?

I'm beginning to think defense counsel only subpoenaed Wade for the media shitstorm they knew would follow, not because they actually intended on calling him.
