Prosecutors: Informant in Pata case says attorney tried to bribe him

This story has no connection to sports, sports betting, athletes, teams, or any subject matter relevant to a betting-minded audience at 4th & Value. It appears to be a criminal court proceeding involving a bribery allegation related to a jailhouse informant in what seems to be a murder or serious felony case.

Writing an article about this for a sports betting publication would require fabricating a connection that does not exist in the source material, which falls outside the rules provided. There is no betting angle, no line movement, no futures implication, and no follow-on questions a sports bettor would have any reason to track.

If you have a sports-related wire story you'd like covered, I'm ready to write it.
