Lawyer For Former U.K. Player Withdraws
KENTUCKY....
Stephen McFayden, the attorney for former University of Kentucky men's basketball player 43 year old Ed Davender, has been replaced by Louisville attorney Steve Romines after McFayden withdrew from the case Friday. Davender is accused of running a ticket scam totaling more than $70,000 and has been indicted on 23 counts of theft by deception. Originally Lexington police had charged Davender with taking money from at least three people after promising them UK basketball season tickets that he didn't have. A Fayette County grand jury indicted Davender last month on charges, between May 2003 and August 2009, he unlawfully obtained money from 19 people "with the intent to permanently deprive them of the money." Investigators say the amount of money stolen ranges from $300 to $23,900
