Karen Sypher Trial Day 4: Tim "The Toolman" Sypher

Tim Sypher, Rick Pitino's personal tool and Karen Sypher's ex-husband, was on the stand yesterday. This was shortly after Rick Pitino took the stand to talk a little, and we mean a little, more about his short lived sexual encounter with Karen Sypher.

Here's a summary of Rick's morning testimony:

Rick Pitino said he had told his son Richard Pitino to move on with his career to avoid the humiliation

Rick Pitino finished "on his leg" after the realization that he did not have any condoms and Sypher was very 'fertile'

He was unaware of a meeting his lawyers and other 'people' may have had with Sypher and her attorneys. In the meeting, they may have offered Sypher $500,000 for her silence.

He asked Tim Sypher to take Karen to a Cincinnati doctor in order to seek an abortion

He gave her $3,000 for "health insurance"

After the lunch break, Pitino was finished - ok, it was a lot sooner than that - but Tim Sypher testified:

He took Sypher to the doctor for her abortion

When dropping Sypher off at her home after their trip to Cincinnati, she asked him to 'check her pipes' literally, and while he "is not a plumber" he looked at the leak.

It was then that he found Karen attractive and he then sought the permission of Pitino to start dating

One week after the abortion, Tim Sypher and Karen Sypher began to date

They were married 8 months later

He delivered a list of demands Karen made 7 years later to Pitino at the West Virginia game in Morgantown where Pitino said "This is blackmail"

Tim Sypher will be cross examined today and will be followed by Karen Sypher's lawyer, who sent Pitino a demand for $10 million dollars on Sypher's behalf. I would imagine that the trial has climaxed which is quicker than Rick, but I couldn't have imagined half of the things that have come out as quick as they did. The trial is expected to last until the end of next week.

Stay tuned for more information as the casualty count continues to mount.
