Wow...no ability to witness the shooter. No evidence that the guy was Adam Jones...no sign of his car...witness reports from only the men who got shot at...
Be careful espn...not a lot to really go on. I certainly am not going to defend Adam Jones, but this seems like a news story they are reporting for SENSATIONALISM only.
Most of the story is regarding the Vegas incident since the Atlanta "allegations" are so thin...Legal teams get ready...
ESPN never said PacMan did the shooting. The network said he was
involved in the shooting.
The reason the police didn't charge PacMan in connection with the shootings is because it likely didn't have any direct evidence. Unfortunately, association with a criminal in another case isn't evidence of PacMan's involvement in the Atlanta shooting, especially under the burden of proof requirements of a criminal case.
But the circumstantial evidence is overwhelmingly against PacMan, if someone were to file civil charges against him, IMO.
Here is PacMan who says Slugga (the shooter in the Las Vegas night club incident) tried to extort money from him in the Las Vegas shooting hanging out at the Atlanta night club with the same man who tried to send PacMan to jail.
If anyone believes the two were at the same night club, standing next to each other and that was mere coincidence has got to be the dumbest person alive.
Furthermore, ESPN obtained an affidavit in which one of the suspects (?) claims that Slugga said PacMan commissioned the shooting.
PacMan wouldn't win a lawsuit. This story was too thoroughly investigated.
As for sensationalism, of course it's sensationalism. But what does that mean anyway?
ESPN either reported the story when it had all its facts for the story, or it held the story until the offseason. Imagine if ESPN had run the story prior to PacMan's suspension, then the masses from Cowboys Nation would be complaining even more that ESPN is bias.
At any rate, PacMan doesn't have a leg to stand on, and I doubt very seriously any other team takes a chance on him.
