Bryant's attorney is Texas State Senator Royce West (who always struck me as a real life version of Clay Davis from The Wire). I believe there was a Dallas Observer Article that made some innuendo that Royce West pulled some some political strings to get Dez' mother probation after her 2009 arrest for crack distribution. It did seem strange that a second arrest would only cause probation when the first arrest brought jail time. I seem to remember that the Observer faintly accused Royce of using that as incentive for Bryant to sign on with their representative team (West as lawyer, Eugene Parker as agent, David Wells as "life coach", Deion as de facto PR guy), or maybe I was just reading between my own lines.
