Karen Sypher Trial Day 2: "I'll never forget that booth"...


Welcome to the greatest show on Earth! The Karen Sypher extortion trial continued today. Here are the highlights or the lowlights if you're a Cardinal fan, of what your coach has brought upon his team, university, and self.

Highlights of the man they call "Goetz":
  • Lester "Goetz" Goetzinger describes himself as Sypher's On-again-Off-again lover.
  • He was the scapegoat for Sypher as she put him up to making the phone call to Pitino.
  • He never asked for anything in return for making the call.
  • Prosecutors asked if Sypher knew his name as she had told FBI agents that she thought a guy name "Goetz" had made the call.
  • He had received oral sex from Sypher the day before the call was made where he asked for $10 million dollars.
  • Goetzinger said she had never called him his name and she never called him Goetz, only "Sweetie."
  • Goetz did think Sypher knew his name since he often wore his LG&E name badge when he came over.

An edited version of the hour long WDRB interview with Candyce Clift was aired for the jury. Here's a summary:
  • In it Sypher claims she was raped twice by Pitino
  • One rape occured at Porcini's in a back booth after everyone left. Remembering the night she confirms that she "will never forget that booth."
  • She tells how Pitino threatened her childeren with concrete boots.
  • During her mourning of her aborted Pitino baby , she fell in love with Tim "The Muscle" Sypher and married him.
  • She was soon knocked up by Sypher and he pressured her to abort that baby.
  • She said she waited so long to press charges because she was a "Double Murderer"

No word yet on Pitino's testimony. He is expected to testify today or tomorrow.
