Latest News on Betonsports founder, Gary Kaplan
November 24, 2008
It’s been 18 months since the arrest of BetonSports founder, Gary Kaplan, related to illegal gambling activities. Now, it is alleged that he may have been the recipient of special treatment, as it is believed that contraband articles were being smuggled to him in the St. Louis County jail, where he was remanded. The allegations and bad press sparked a transfer to a detention facility in St. Charles county, where it is now alleged that he is monopolising the interview rooms at the facility with lengthy daily legal consultations.
Other lawyers are infuriated by the apparent disregard for the rights of the other inmates. Especially incensed by the matter is Tracy Brown, one of the St. Charles County’s public defenders. “Inevitably, the less I see my clients, the less chance I’m going to have to make a good connection with them,” Brown said. “It’s hard for them to trust me when they hardly see me,” claiming that Kaplan’s attorneys are there most of the day and sometimes into the evening.
In retaliation, Freeman Bosley Jr., one of Kaplan’s attorneys said that, “If the amount of working hours in the interview room are limited or reduced, it will greatly diminish the amount of work that we accomplish in preparation for Mr. Kaplan’s upcoming trial.”
Seems like Kaplan and his attorneys have something huge in the pipeline. To date, no trial date has been set.
