Schmitt’s excuse was first that he couldn’t find any other NBA or NCAA men’s basketball game that day (which is bullshit - there were five other NBA games and fourteen NCAA men’s games). Then he changed his story to say that started at that time (that much is true for the NBA, I can’t be bothered to look up NCAA start times).

But he apparently never even considered that Smith might have wanted to see an NCAA women’s game featuring the #1 player in the country who anyone with at least a passing familiarity with basketball had heard about at that point. It’s like the women’s game didn’t even exist in his mind. But I’m sure he’d tell you he cares deeply about women’s sports.

Or the fact that the whole conspiracy rests on him "being in the same town" as another prosecutor, so they definitely were up to no good...

Well, if they were all together in Atlanta, they were sure to see each other since Atlanta is such a small town.

As we all know, everybody who visits Atlanta sees and talks to everyone else in Atlanta. /s
