14 May 2007

And in doing so, it would also make a big change in American gambling law. For the first time, the federal government would be actually issuing gambling licenses and setting the rules on who can and can't play.»

On May 7, 2007, United States Magistrate Judge Mary Anne Medler rendered a report and recommendation, suggesting that the motions to dismiss filed by David Carruthers and his co-defendants in the BetonSports.com (BoS) prosecution be denied.
