If a major publication like SI printed complete lies about a legendary coach and future politician like TO, why weren't there any defamation lawsuits filed?
I see reading isn't your strong suit.
As for the TO interfering in a criminal investigation, despite what castusboy says, that all arose from an SI article that contained a misquote, an out and out lie, or an intentional error by SI, take your pick. Lancaster County DA Gary Lacey accused TO of not producing a gun used by Tyrone Williams. However, even Lacey later admitted that TO hadn't been involved in the gun incident, the it had been Kevin Steele who had been involved.
That led Steele to sue Lacey for defamation, since as it came out in the documents filed with the court (prior to the case being dismissed on a technicality) the LPD AND the UNL campus police knew exactly where the gun was at all times from the moment it entered Steele's possession. The only confusion occurred when a LPD detective showed up to pick up the gun, Steele was out of town picking up signed LOI's (this was back when coaches could do this, and the incident involving the gun had occurred the night/early morning of Jan. 31/Feb. 1, right before LOI day). No one was available with a key to the cabinet in Steele's office where the gun was stored, and so the detective had to come back a couple of days later to get the gun. That was the only "interference" with an ongoing criminal investigation, and it involved Steele, not TO.
