Your Daddy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Judge sends Mackey to jail today for contempt of court for 60 days. He was supposed to stay in school in Cincinnati until graduation. He apparently did that until Spring Break and then stopped going and returned home. Judge told him that he was disappointed and alarmed because Mackey didn't seem to be taking his problems very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Maybe Bud thought he would be given a diploma the day after the basketball season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Mountain Boy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It bothers me when talent like that is wasted. This maybe an eye-opening event for him that will force him to straighten up and cause reality to set in with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plato Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Maybe Bud will finally wake up and realize that this is more than a "little incident". There are no "modifications" to bail him out and make him less accountable for his actions now - the educational system loop holes don't apply here.

MBWC41 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 "While at the jail, Mackey has been working toward obtaining a GED. He also plans to continue on to college and play basketball. He wants to attend UK, because it's close to home, he said". Interesting.... I really hope Mackey (or any kid in his situation) gets a second chance. I just don't know how I feel about that second chance coming from UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
