Lawyer: Matthews Jr. broke no laws, set to cooperate

A little legal zooming with Gary Matthews Jr…

Gary Matthews Jr.‘s lawyer is convinced the Angels’ outfielder hasn’t violated any laws or major league rules even though his name surfaced in a widespread steroids investigation that has resulted in nine arrests.

...“Gary wishes to cooperate with Major League Baseball, the Los Angeles Angels and any other investigative agency that may look into this matter,” lawyer Robert Shapiro said Saturday. “He is eager to tell his side of the story and looks forward to providing a statement once all investigations into the matter have been completed.

“However, it is my long standing policy not to allow clients to comment while an investigation is ongoing. To do so would be inappropriate and I believe irresponsible.”

"Gary wishes to cooperate with Major League Baseball, the Los Angeles Angels and any other investigative agency that may look into this matter,” lawyer Robert Shapiro said Saturday.
Seated at the defense table with his DNA attorney, Barry Scheck, and his civil rights attorney, Johnny Cochran (who looked like death), Gary Matthews, Jr. declared, "I am 100% innocent!"

Who needs a justice system when you can just take the word of defense lawyers?

I first read that without the second Jr. I think it's funnier that way.

Something like the converse would appear to be the case, as well.

No question, but that's not at issue here.
