    OK, . . .

    I heard that the police found the last three seconds of the '09 Ole Miss games in Jefferson's apartment.

    If the slipper don't fit, you must acquit!

    True, but the first stories out said that Nathan Fisher did do free legal work for non-athlete LSU students as well. I think this is a case where the LSU compliance director is going above the rule to make sure LSU doesn't get in any more trouble, keeping an eye on the Lyles and Shepard cases.

    It's been a bad summer. Lets get to Dallas and play some football.

    Yeah, I raised my eyebrow when I read that, too. I'm not sure how that was permissible in the past.

    My understanding is that the rule was only recently changed.

    Here's a question. If jj told the detectives during his interview that he didn't kick anyone and it is proven that he did , can he be charged with perjury? Is an interview with cops an under oath event? Perjury is a felony and can get you in as much trouble as kicking someone on the ground in a fight.

    I think the charge in that case would be "making a false official statement" or perhaps "obstruction of justice" (though the latter would be hard to prove based his 5th Ammendment rights). I don't think either would carry the same weight as perjury.

    I'm still hoping for him to tell the truth about not kicking anybody.

    Lying to a FEDERAL agent is a crime. Lying to locals ain't necessarily. If he was under oath, yes. Doubt his attorney let him take an oath, or should not have. Obstruction of justice possibly but better let some real attorneys jump in on this question.

    A PUBLIC defender and a PRIVATE attorney are two very different things.
