Seriously?

It's fair to discuss performances that seem surprising within context, but making rash and unsubstantiated claims is slanderous at best.

In this specific instance, the tweets mentioned that she had heard from multiple people that jockeys at a certain race track were using buzzers. I don’t know if it was rash or unsubstantiated. I have no clue what those sources were but the person making the tweet seemed to think the sources were sufficient. It’s almost never the case that someone will have a smoking gun to fully substantiate whatever accusation is being made.

My point was only that we shouldn’t expect people within the industry to call others out. Because when someone does, it is met with a lot of blowback and it’s just not worth it for that person. But if they stay silent, then some will criticize them after the fact for not saying anything.

I’ve listened to you enough that I know you toe this line and demonstrate skepticism where appropriate and you do a great job at it. I don’t think there are a lot of people in the industry that the general betting public can trust and you’re one of them.

During the proceedings, United States assistant district attorney Sarah Mortazavi expressed shock that roughly 100 pages worth of letters were submitted by supporters on Navarro's behalf in hopes of securing a more lenient sentence.
