When you're caught with $4,000 in your wallet plus a couple of bags of weed, intent to sell can be a pretty open and shut case if he doesn't get a good lawyer. Problem is he claimed he got the money as an advance from his financial advisor...which is plausible. However, if true, the FA would have to be able to confirm that story and if he can't then it is even MORE grim for Claude because the judge and jury would know he lied about where the money came from.
Still...I'd pick him with one of our 7th rounders just to retain his rights in case everything gets cleared up. He's very, very talented. Play it off as one of Saban's guys made a mistake and Saban wants to help him get back on the right track in life.
Good points. Talk about a dumb move for a young guy. He was probably a late 1st rounder prior to this incident.
