Judge orders Saints' Bush to give deposition in June - USATODAY.com

"SAN DIEGO — After months of legal wrangling, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush finally will have to testify under oath about allegations that he received $291,000 in illegal cash and benefits from San Diego businessman and fledgling sports marketer Lloyd Lake.

Lake is suing Bush and his parents for reimbursement of the $291,000 he says he gave to Bush, stepfather LaMar Griffin and mother Denise Griffin while Bush was a student-athlete at Southern California. He has already spent several hours telling his side of the story to NCAA investigators.

Superior Court Judge Joan Lewis on Friday ordered Bush to give his deposition June 23, LaMar Griffin on June 27 and Denise Griffin on June 30. Lewis denied Bush's request to have armed security at the depositions. Furthermore, Lewis denied Bush's request for his deposition to remain confidential, which means it can be released to the NCAA and the news media. If Bush admits wrongdoing while he was a student-athlete, it could have major repercussions for USC's football program.

"We're very pleased the judge put a stop to Bush's ducking and dodging," said Brian Watkins, Lake's lawyer. Lake's deposition is scheduled for June 5 and 6. —"

I thought Bush showed up and it was Lake that was a no show. just another legal angle.

Lake has #25's father on tape admitting Reg took money from Lake. This will prove to be a huge distraction.

Like I said, a HUGE DISTRACTION.

Reggie is guilty of the allegations and should have just paid the guy off (like everyone else does).
