Todays's fishwrap had a story in support of TSJ.
The headline ... "Shannon passes background check"
Twolves President is Tim Connelly. And the writer's description of the events from the night at the bar thru the trial and Whitman's thought processes on including Shannon's jersey as an Honored Jersey shows that he did his homework. 👏👏
"But Connelly had no qualms about picking Shannon despite his legal battle over the last year. After making the pick, Connelly made a strong statement in support of Shannon’s character.
“It’s a shame that it’s even a footnote [on his career],” Connelly said.
“It’s a shame to say he was acquitted — if you really dig, it’s a really unfortunate thing for a kid by all accounts … is a great kid.
“Oftentimes, the minute you’re accused you’re found guilty.
Thankfully he went through the legal process. He chose to go to trial because he knew he did nothing wrong. I just think it’s a shame he went through that and I think it’s a testament to who he is as a kid and his ability to play through a really tough distraction.”
Connelly said the team did “a ton” of work looking into Shannon’s background and the case, which unfolded this way: Shannon went to Lawrence, Kan., to watch the Illini football team take on Kansas on Sept. 8, and while there he visited a bar."
