Well...there's a lot of questions and issues and I'm not saying there aren't. I'm also not testifying for the Tuohys.

BUT, it appears undisputed that they:
Brought him into their home to live, with their two children.
Fed him. I can only imagine how much he consumed each meal.
Clothed him.
Brought him to school, and other places.
Gave him love and emotional support.
No doubt all those other small daily things that parents do.
Hired a professional tutor working 20 hrs/week.
Helped him (along with others) navigate academics, raising his grades from basically 0.0 to passing.
And who knows what else?

Anyone with children knows what a demand that is, every day, even for your own biological children. It's crazy to me how all of that is just being ignored with this feeding frenzy.

In the movie they bought him a jacked up pick-up truck.

Quid quo pro. They wouldn't have done any of that if the kid didn't have football talent. They took him in and steered the kid to go to Ole Miss. You think they would have wasted their time and money on some a slow 5'1" Guatemalan kid with no athletic ability?

Another small thing from the ESPN article on this that is kinda telling:

quote:
His lawyer unearthed the conservatorship document in February,

I "unearthed" it after spending about 5 minutes looking for it. It's Public Record and the Court has free public internet access.

The writer probably quoted that from the lawyer, to make it look like it was hidden and nefarious.

And I'm sure his lawyer billed 2.5 hours unearthing the documents.
