Isiah Thomas – How Innocent Are You?
Isiah Thomas made an interesting statement after the jury returned a guilty verdict. The jury found Thomas guilty of sexual harassment against one of the Knicks female employees.
At an impromptu press conference Thomas said:
“I’m innocent, I’m very innocent, and I did not do the things she has accused me in this courtroom of doing,” Thomas said. “I’m extremely disappointed that the jury did not see the facts in this case. I will appeal this, and I remain confident in the man that I am and what I stand for and the family that I have.”
If you are “very” innocent does that make you “more” innocent than anyone else. Also interesting that his family comes up in the middle of his statement. Wonder if this is some bargaining behavior?
