Why would Dawkins defense attorneys leak info about Wade
Posted on 3/19/19 at 1:12 pm

If he is a key witness to their defense? There is no way they would leak information to Yahoo if either party were guilty. Think about it. Not only would it not make sense, it could potentially turn Wade against Dawkins if he ever has to testify. One would assume that they leaked the info in order to prove that Dawkins did not commit a crime, thus helping their argument. If Dawkins is guilty and so is Wade, why would the defense subpoena Wade and not the FBI? The defense is only subpoenaeing Wade to potentially exonerate Dawkins. I don’t see any other scenario as to why they would leak partial information.

They are arguing that there was already a widespread culture of coaches taking bribes and paying players.
They want that perception to be wide known.
Hence the leaks
Also I think this is a sentencing hearing

Maybe they knew it was unlikely those tapes were allowed in court, so they leaked to let the public form the opinion that it's not just Dawkins who is the villan here.

because Dawkins is a scorned woman and wants to expose the culture of college basketball recruiting even if it doesn't absolve him of any of the crimes he is accused of committing.

Dawkins's lawyer said in October that he plans on appealing his clients' guilty verdict. A timeline for the appeal has not yet been determined, but Dawkins faces another bribery trial in April.

Its certainly a calculated move by the establishment to bring Wade and LSU down..Everybody knows what he's building here...AND THEY SCEEEEERED! That's for damn sure!

We’re the most obvious, but they also exposed a million other schools. They just aren’t as good a story for the media to run with.

sentencing hearing already happened in the wire fraud trial where they were convicted. The upcoming subpoena pertains to the bribery trial set for April.

They are trying to sling as mud mud as possible on everyone who isn't Dawkins. Hopefully make a jury believe that Dawkins isn't really the bad guy, it's these other guys who are the real instigators.
Most likely they're just trying whatever they can think of to get him off.

Well you know damn good and well that the FBI didn't leak it. So it had to have been the defense.

Which leads to an interesting point- this (the Wade conversation) doesn't have anything to do with what HE actually was accused of, so it may well be ruled irrelevant and shut down. At which point our administration napalmed a promising bright young coach... for nothing.

Wade needs a plea bargain desperately by Dawkins to avoid anymore possible damning evidence from coming out imo

There is no question it’s the defense team leaking the transcripts. Question remains what else is out there on Wade?

That doesn’t make any sense. They would basically be admitting guilt and arguing that everybody else was doing it so Dawkins shouldn’t be charged. Anyone with any sense knows that is not how the judicial system works. A judge or a jury is not going to let someone off that committed a crime “because everyone was doing it.”

IIRC...Dont think those transcripts were allowed in the first trial.
The release was an offhanded form of jury tampering.

In federal case against Dawkins, universities are the victims of his racketeering. Universities are damaged because their scholarships are going to amateur athletes whose amateurism is being voided by Dawkins’ misdeeds. Dawkins’ attorneys are arguing that the university isn’t being wronged since Wade is an employee of the university actively participating in the voiding of the athletes’ amateur eligibility.

Wade would be the worst defense witness EVER when he'd get on the stand and tell the court how sleazy Dawkins is and that he never did any "business" with him because Dawkins was hurting college basketball by giving bribes to coaches.

They're trying to show the schools were not defrauded, that they were complicit
