I don't know the exact details, but Mark Sutter appears to be Shannon's main attorney. I'd assume he ran point for this ordeal and found the legal help Shannon would need. For Shannon's case against the University, several lawyers from various law firms were employed and I'm not sure how they were chosen as they hail from various firms. Bath & Edmonds is a Kansas-based firm, which explains why they'd defend him in a Kansas district court.
Terrence Shannon Jr. Found Not Guilty

They weren't wrong, AT THE TIME, about the situation. They didn't cover it enough to be wrong. The issue is that they jumped the gun, severely, with how everything should play out and jammed it into a 30 minute segment. Then, it was on to the Bears.
Then, they didn't touch it again until today, with a 10 minute segment. The Score doesn't promote college basketball. During the NCAA Tournament, there was no tournament discussion at all. It was Caleb Williams and the Bears draft.
Actually, I'm surprised that they addressed it today. It closed a very big loop on a situation that, deep down, they don't care about. I can't stand Dan Bernstein because he brings politics into just about everything. Today, he touched on the fact that the case never should have made it that far. Werner did a nice job summarizing.
I have a MUCH bigger beef with CBS. College basketball is one of their lifelines. They were irresponsible the entire season with their verbiage and hot takes.
I honestly just thought they were trying to drag this thing out longer, knowing what a weak case they had. Also thought they might be trying to increase the pressure on Terrence to take a plea with the NBA draft coming up at the end of the month.
What happened was Valdez and Seiden were prosecuting a child sex predator who got sick mid-trial, so it got delayed into overlapping with the Shannon trial. The original judge for Shannon was on that trial too, which is why Judge Hanley took over.
Did Gary Parrish ever say anything about Terrance Shannon's not guilty verdict?
Of course not.
NOT directed at you, but at the clown Parrish. The problem with small-minded simpletons like him with a huge, undeserved platform, is they are never held accountable for their God-awful, uninformed takes. And most fans in the college basketball world only see the uninformed headlines/article.
I will step off my soapbox now. Please carry on!

Went back and forth about whether to link that and give them more views. Didn't watch the whole thing, but the tone of the section I watched was far from conciliatory.
For the most part, people who are as successful as judges, athletic directors, chancellors, got that way by keeping the quiet part of the conversation quiet. I believe that had there been a preponderance of evidence against TSJ, more little and big decisions would have gone against him from the start. It was of course critically important to play the process out as long as the Kansas district attorneys pushed it. However the other decision makers were weighing their decisions along the way against facts they had learned that they could not comment on and would not be made public until the final trial.
Basically, everyone was doing the best they could given a serious situation forced on them by the district attorney’s office.

~11 min mark, he plays it off like he didn't say anything bad about TSJ, that he was criticizing the school, and that he had a personal experience with 'believe women' that pushed him to err towards TSJ.
Which he is incredibly full of it. He took the EXACT opposite tone here. He could man up but won't.

He didn't even have enough
Ya, just dug the hole deeper by not accurately describing what he wrote in the article.

That was weak. He's a petty little man, who just wants to be right. Pathetic. I now like him even less than I did, which hardly seems possible.
That's not even his show, is it?

I gotta tell you...I started out in 1993 as a 16 year old kid with my mom's old 1982 Chevy Citation (which ran like absolute HELL and was already starting to rust). I kept that puppy clean and washed it by hand, as I do all my cars. These prosecutors were grasping at the tiniest straws possible.
I'll keep my mouth shut about the racial connotations surrounding their arguments. But you can read between the lines on that, too.

Fork tongued dufus is deflecting any blame and is now saying they should have played him from the get go. Yeah Gary, I'm sure you and the rest of the "court of public opinion" would have been just fine with this. The University played this flawlessly.

Is he accepting Twitter mentions? I tried to tag him in a Twitter post and it wouldn’t let me.~11 min mark, he plays it off like he didn't say anything bad about TSJ, that he was criticizing the school, and that he had a personal experience with 'believe women' that pushed him to err towards TSJ.

I will NEVER support him with a click, a listen to his podcast, etc. He’s a total hypocrite trying to say he didn’t try to bury TSJ when this came out. Just man up and say you screwed up and you’re sorry. He still would have been wrong, but at least he would have admitted it.
Plus, we all know had TSJ been found guilty, Parrish would have been happy to write an ultra-smug “Told you so” article.

If I could backpedal on the court as quickly as he did on his original opinion, I'd have a shot at guarding Terrence Shannon
I thought the host did a great job of calling him out. Sure did make him stutter a lot. In fact, he was relentless on him!! That made the click worth it.
The host did god's work, actually kind of funny..
Host got him so twisted that Doyle really ends at 'TSJ should've sued the school' Which he did and Doyle criticized him for...
I don't think I've ever been a fan of Chris Vernon until now.
