Connelly and Valentine both admit going to events with mismatched suit coats and pants. These things happen. Tuesday morning starts with Lemon questioning Connelly. Connelly effectively closes the door on the Grimmell affidavit issue by explaining how the threat of litigation against Grimmell personally was a violation of article 304.1. Boggs is next called to testify.
Nothing is said about the cosmetic surgery issue.
Instead his testimony focuses on his background and success as a trainer and the damages he has suffered as a result of his five-year suspension. Boggs admits that his legal team knew of Grimmell's statements in May 1998 prior to the August 1999 EPRB hearing. His attorney had called one witness at the EPRB hearing to testify about the May 1998 statements. Nevertheless, the EPRB had found Grimmell credible and Boggs guilty of trying to threaten Grimmell. Mary Anne Grimmell can hardly wait to testify later in the trial.
