Judge Sets Hearing For Former KU Ticket Consultant
Associated Press - Sat 04:02 AM 01/26/2013
The consultant is serving a 46 month prison term.
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A federal judge wants a previous attorney for a former University of Kansas athletics consultant to testify before he rules on a request seeking a shorter sentence in a ticket scalping conspiracy.
U.S. District Judge Monti Belot said Friday he was surprised neither side called the former attorney for Thomas Ray Blubaugh at an evidentiary hearing last week. Blubaugh claims attorney Stephen Robinson did a poor job during his trial.
Belot wants Robinson to testify at a February 11th hearing.
Blubaugh is serving a 46 month sentence for conspiracy to defraud the United States. He is the husband of Charlette Blubaugh, former ticket director for Kansas athletics.
They were among seven people convicted in a $2 million scheme involving the theft and sale of Jayhawk athletic tickets.

Ksal I read was third behind the journal in sites like this and they will remain there until they change their policies by letting people make names up to bully others and make stupid comments. Most of us do not find it funny or interesting and it is uncalled for and something needs to happen to put a permament stop to it.
