Deion Sanders didn't have to testify in the Shilo Sanders bankruptcy trial
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Deion Sanders had a successful day as his Colorado football team defeated Georgia Tech to start the season 1-0, and he was released from a subpoena, exempting him from testifying in Shilo Sanders’s bankruptcy trial.
- During the trial, a key witness, Ruda Nash James, gave contradictory testimony regarding whether injuries inflicted by Shilo on security guard John Darjean were "willful and malicious," weakening Shilo’s case.
- The judge limited questioning about whether Darjean’s injuries could be attributed to his baseball career, emphasizing the trial’s focus on the willfulness and maliciousness of the injuries rather than the injury’s origin.
- A dramatic moment occurred when Darjean collapsed after testifying, likely due to chronic pain, leading to a pause in the trial proceedings.
- The judge will ultimately decide if Shilo Sanders is responsible for the $11.89 million debt or if it can be discharged through bankruptcy.
