Trial Continues; Sypher says "It was stupid"
As the Pitino trial continues, one of Karen Syphers's sexual partners testified today saying that Sypher told him that what she did was "stupid" and "I should not have done that."
Tyree Fields, a former executive at Federal Express and Frito Lay who later worked as a basketball talent scout, told a Louisville federal jury that when he met Sypher in 2009 "she indicated it was a stupid thing, and she regretted doing it."
Cross-examination by Sypher's lawyer revealed that Fields acknowledged that Sypher told him that the year before she had been raped twice by Pitino and had to have an abortion.
Since Sypher admitted to the crime to Jim Earhart, Sypher's lawyer, while they sat in his car in 2009 and told him that what she did was wrong, he says that he cannot shake this account.
