[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 351823, member: 6150"] Agreed. That's what I've been saying all along. Even attempted grand theft - prove they put the weights in the fish and what their intent was even if they do admit to it. I still think they lawyer talk their way out of this. They were advised to plead not guilty for a reason. And I honestly still think it's silly there are criminal charges. Was Lance Armstrong criminally prosecuted for roids? The Houston Astros for stealing signs a few years ago to win the world series? List goes on and on and the money involved in those instances is leaps and bounds beyond a fishing tournament. I looked up what the hell "possession of criminal tools" means. It's essentially being in possession of a device with intention to use it criminally. Prosecution still needs to prove intent. Good luck. Also, if I get pulled over for speeding and the cop has it out for me can he slap on "possession of criminal tools" if I have a pocketknife and he think I had intent to do something illegal with it? A bit concerning. [/QUOTE]
