LSU 's Ryan Perrilloux's Aggressive Moves to Prove his Innocence

Updated At the Bottom-

Well the LSU saga of backup Quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is escalating by the day. I think there has been some interesting moves. If you are going by the national press I think you don't get the big picture of what is going on. What has got LSU fans concerned is not the fact that RP might have been involved in some minor scuffle at a club. No it is the rumors that are going 24/7 about what else happened. That is he or another Football player called Derrick Odom were waiving guns and smashed out windows of club employees.


His attorney has been quite aggressive in quashing these rumors. Just the other day he had Ryan take a Polygraph test which he passed. However in a very aggressive move we see this:

Perrilloux took a polygraph test at his lawyers office Sunday morning.
The results indicated that Perrilloux did not point a gun or have a gun to point at anybody.
Fisher issued a subpoena duces tecum to the Varisty Monday morning, requesting surveillance video from Thursday night, due in court Tuesday morning at 9 a.m.
"This is a serious matter, it has evolved into a really serious matter, my clients future is at stake, his academic future as well as his athletic future," said Fisher
.


Well this is a major move by his lawyer. It also shows a lawyer that has no doubt it appears about his client's innocence regarding the charges or to be more exact "scuttlebutt". However there is something else here.


We have gone from reports this weekend that the other LSU player involved , Derrick Odom, had not called Fisher to Derrick Odom having other counsel. May I suggest there are reasons for this. What will be on this VID if his lawyer gets it? Well I am willing to bet it is not Ryan Perrilloux but someone else might be on it. What this does to team dynamics I don't know. However it something to watch.

Update-
Well we have a update. It appears that Derrick Odom's attorney has gotten into the act. So we shall see if the rumors about him were true. A very interesting update here at the Advocate:
State District Judge Todd Hernandez ruled today that attorneys for LSU football players Ryan Perrilloux and Derrick Odom should get a copy of a surveillance video showing a fight early Friday between the players and bouncers from the Varsity Theatre.
Attorney Nathan Fisher, who represents Perrilloux, said he wants to see the disc because, “I have reason to believe it will help exonerate my client.”
Asked if he wants to get Perrilloux on the field Saturday, Fisher said, “I deal with criminal cases, and coach Miles deals with the football team.”
However, Odom’s lawyer, Anthony Bertucci, said he wants to get the investigation moving so the players have a chance to play with their team when LSU faces Alabama in Tuscaloosa .
No criminal charges have been filed in the case.
The video was turned over to Baton Rouge police Monday, but they have been unable to view it because of a technical difficulty, prosecutor Aaron Brooks said.
Coach Les Miles prohibited Perrilloux, a quarterback, and Odom, a linebacker, from practicing with the team Monday
