Bobby Pickle Report

Prince said:
I'm no expert here, but, seems to me that all his "friends" have to do is stand up for him at a trial and state "he had nothing to do with any of these drugs". If they are truly "friends", that's not a hard task to complete to keep your friend out of jail. That alone, would more than likel, prevent any prosecutor from taking a drug case to trial.

First, while I don't want to get into too much detail, requests just as you described were made...and ignored.

But before being TOO hard on anyone, it is true that there is a long statute of limitations on possession with intent to sell and if anyone came forward and admitted to custody and control of illegal substances, that person would be hooked and booked in a heart beat.

Didn't bobby have some "friends" who robbed a bank a few years back that he caught some heat for?

NO!!! That rumor surfaced a few Derby Cities ago. I don't have any clue who started it or why.

Bobby has had some issues in his past but he has never had anything to do with...and has never even been accused of having anything to do with robbing banks.

I lust met him and I liked him alot we were joking around etc. I have no love or faith in the criminal justice system in America, too many people doing too much time for beef's they get caught up in(takung the deal), i'm not gonna judge this situation, i hope everything works out for him but here in the land of tha free" we have more people in Jail that anyother country in the world, the cops love to put us in cages, read the link below it explaines alot:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/02/28/prison.population.ap/index.html?iref=newssearch


I had a friend who was looking ar a rape beef because the chick thought he was rich, he was a car salesman for a dealership, she thought he was part of the rich family that ownes it, he is a virgin. he did win the case but that boy wasnt sleeping for months, all because a coked out Model chick from the car show wanted to sue his nuts off like they did mike tyson years ago, but he isnt rich and a virgin, they tore up his hortel room etc to look for any drugs, there wernt any, had their been he would have got some time as she tested positive for blow, the DNA was negitive too, the local prosicuter did everything possible to lock up my friend, he was just a kid at the time, i dont know how they sleep at night after they lock up a kid who is innocent,

moral of the story, know who your rooming with, if you have to count your money on the table by the bed while your in the shower your travelling with the wrong guy, or that has drugs your gonna get caught up in something innocent or not.
 
This is tough. I would hate to be in his position and have to make the decision he did. It is tough because Bobby by nature is a warrior with lots of heart and fight in him. AThis would be a horrible situation to be in. I can only imagine howhe feels.
Bobby has always been a favorite player. Plays well, very hard, very much a gentleman, and extremely entertatining. I wish him well.

Do they have a pool table where he is going????????????

Some do and some don't AFAIK. I haven't even had a traffic ticket in 20 years and have never had any dealings with the criminal justice system...directly.

And with LUCK he may get probation and won't have to "go to college" at all.

I, also. wish Bobby the best of luck in his pending legal matters. I would hate to see someone who is already living on borrowed time to spend any or all of it in a small cell. Pass along my best wishes to Bobby.

I agree with you completely about the association thing being wrong, but it is tougher than you think to get a conviction like that. It would be very difficult to convict someone for drugs in a room they shared with other people unless you were in the room when it was raided and the drugs were out in the open, or unless nobody was is the room at the time it was raided but the room was in your name and the drugs were in a common area instead of in someones bag, in which case the friends would have also had to deny that they were theirs. Crappy friends if that was the case. Anyway, we don't know the story. Maybe he knew about the drugs but chose to assume that risk of not doing anything about it and it bit him in the butt. Maybe he admitted to the police that he knew about them. Maybe they were in clear sight and he was in the room when it was raided. Maybe one of his buddies had stashed them in his suitcase. I am not saying any of this was the case, and he may well have gotten railroaded, but we really don't know any of the details of what happened. I wish the best for him if he had no knowledge of it.

Well, that is the problem with posting a thread like this. The actual details are being left out. Alot of people on this thread have asked good questions. So I have to ask- what is the point of posting the thread if you are going to leave the details out. It seems appearent that if it is guilt by association in this particular case, his "friends" should come forward and accecpt their punishment for him instead of Bobby Pickle taking the fall for them, if in fact it was their drugs and not his. The posted did not mention if all of the patrons of the motel room were charged.

Best of luck with the Judical system.......
 
There were no blood tests? No DNA on the drug bags, boxes, or whatever the drugs were in? No time line to connect him to the drugs or drugs use? If he wasn't invloved and didn't know that there were drugs in the room why didn't he point the police to who had the drugs? Did he get snitched on b/c one of the other "friends" was setting him up in order to lessen or eliminate their own problems with the law?

There seems to be a lot of open questions about why he is taking the fall for something he wasn't involved in. Does he have a drugs use history?

The reference letters are being written as we speak. And sadly, innocent people are convicted all the time. Some for capital murder. The statistics are out. Since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976 for every 7 people executed, 1 person was determined to be not guilty.

Pretty crappy odds if you are about to be fried.

But trust me...I DESPISE violtent criminals and those who deal drugs to children. I raised my son to know that if I ever caught him selling dope to a minor, the cops would be the LEAST of his worries.
Thanks for all the expressions of concern for Bobby. I will print them all out and give them to him.

Jim

So I guess you are saying it is okay to sell drugs to an adult:D :D

Just Kidding.

This situation is exactly why I never travel with anyone that I am not 100% sure is not carrying anything illegal. I have had several friends in pool over the years that I know do recreational and sometimes not so recreational drugs and I would give them money for a cab before I would let them get in my car. I think it is just good common sense.

Very saddened to hear of this news. Bobby is a great guy and I always enjoy watching him play. He is about as exciting a player as there is. Hopefully he can get this resolved with minimal or no time if this is simply a 'guilt by association' thing. Please wish him my best.

But I must say, seems there is a lot of snitching going on around pool these days. :(
 
Not to long ago Danny Diliberto was caught in the same kind of thing. Charged by association. Danny refusing to take a plea bargain fought it in court with a public defender. After a stretch of time he was finally found not guilty. But the stress and struggle he went through I wouldnt wish on anyone else. I wish it was true about justice in America. The kind we learn from school books when we were kids. But unfortunately the system doesnt work that way. It has all the tools of enforcement at their hand while most are stuck with inadequate defense. I hope whatever Bobby decides to do is the right one. Right now he needs all the support he can get.
 
Who in their right mind would want to put their fate in the hands of a jury? Hope he catches a break.
 
Fatboy moral of the story said:
Fatboy,
I agree with u and the laws are not fair.
u forgot to mention two things:
1) Do not give a ride in yore car to others unless u know them thoroughly.I do not give rides unless I am sure about that person.

2)If you pick up a stranger women for one night stand-as soon as u get into yore room with her u immediately hide the vallet containing your IDs,credit cards in a place that she will not suspect.Some of them will search for yore vallet when you go to the bath room after that 3 minute fun.I will suggest a good place to hide the vallet-in the hamper under the dirty under wear.
do you hear me my friend?:cool: :D :cool:

I do. I won't get into any specific details but he had no specific idea that there was anything in the room that would have gotten him into trouble.

Without necessarily speaking to any actual details...what if there was something under the bed and something else in a nightstand?

He didn't have any intention of staying in the room for very long and you can draw your own conclusions as to why.

But given that kind of scenario, why would anyone put things in a nightstand and under the bed?

Finally...think of an Easter Egg hunt. The...ummm....grown ups know where the eggs are hidden right?

No more details. That was not the purpose of the thread. I only wanted to put out the fires of some WAY over the top rumors and let Bobby's friends and fans know what is going down.

Jim

No one else was charged. As for the "friends" who rented the room, as I stated in another post, anyone who came forward and admitted to ownership of the substances would have confessed to a felony and would have been arrested on the spot.

Very few people on earth would do that. But what if some OTHER person was aware of the location of the substances and snitched and Bobby just happened to be in the room at the time the cavalry arrived.

Remeber, it wasn't his room. He had his own room but had checked out because he had been knocked out of the tournament. Probably had been up all night gambling and wanted to catch some zzzz's before driving back to Nashville.

Or maybe he had some other short-term reason to be in the room. Pretty...ummmm....unlucky...that the room was targeted during the short time he had been in the room....like 15 minutes.

You asked about the point of the thread. Fair question. Bobby has hundreds, if not thousands of fans and friends all over the country who might not have know of his difficulties or might have hear rumor mill stuff like the bank robbery thing that surfaced a couple of years ago that was utterly false.

Details of the event are not the issue but I've done my best to give a rough idea while keeping in mind that his sentencing is not until 3/25.

Enough said?

Jim

Very curious isn't it. Could it be that someone who knows a LOT of players in the Southeast and who is a known drug addict got busted but had a relative in law enforcement and became a snitch to save his own a$$?

Nah...nothing like that would ever happen.

huh?

You think cops have the resources to do blood tests and DNA analysis for a narcotics possession investigation? We can't even get DNA analysis for murders out here it's so backed up.

My best wishes to Bobby. I've never met him but he entertained the hell out of me at the DCC this year.

I've had some experiences along these lines.. cops pushing a measly possession charge on you to extort information or even have you be a free narc for them. Threatening to throw the book at you if you don't help them, plea out, etc. If you've got a record already they will throw the book at you.. if your record is clean you're good to go.. usually.

It's kind of ironic but this type of bs police work is often how cops get promoted.
 
Problems

I am sorry to hear about Bobby's problems I only know this of myself. If I was falsely accused. I would fight to the ends of the earth to clear my name weather it be a second mortgage or raking lawns to come up with the money I would get a lawyer and fight it and if the lawyer won't work with me than I would find one that will. They only win if you let them..... Just my .02
