ABQCOWBOY Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, Witten was raised by his Grandparents. I don't think he's close with his mother but I'm certain we will soon learn of all the messy little details in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a few years ago that his dad was a bad egg and he was raised by his grandparents but I'm not sure how his mom fit in the picture. Regardless you have to feel bad for him.

Anybody in this situation, I agree. Children should not have to pay the price for there parents short commings. I agree 100%. Doesn't matter what walk of life, it's a sad thing. Never the less, I'm certain he will pay the price over the course of the season. Just how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbsheet Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I heard on sports raido that she mistook the bank statement as her own and when she needed to make withdrawals, just referred to the account number she thought was hers. Figure most people don't memorize 16 digit account numbers. Probably an honest mistake. Granted a smarter person would've probably figured it out sooner, but she's probably an older lady who ain't all there anymore. Nothing to see here, no big deal.

"Detective Will Johnson said Thursday that Kimberly Witten, 48, made 25 withdrawals from the Carter County Bank account of Marie McQueen beginning last November." During those 25 withdrawls how many times did the teller say thank you Mrs/Ms McQueen? If you really think that this is just a mistake you are an idiot. And I don't think you are an idiot so that leaves only 1 option: You don't believe it was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I believe he's an idiot...and not just b/c he keeps harping on the "mistake" there are literally 67 (and counting) other reasons...

I was being nice. I prefer to let someone be an "idiot" to me first. Although it is getting real close to that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witten is in his 20's, so she's probably between 45 and 55, so the senility hasn't set in quite yet. WTF??? There has to be more details to come, or this is just insane. Just goes to prove, there are people out there with crap for brains. Guess Jason wasn't kicking enough cash back to mom. What a crappy phone call for him to get, finding out she did this. I feel sorry for Jason as his name is being brought up and he probably isn't even close to her as other's have said. So now when his contract rolls around he can go to Jerry Jones and say: "look, I gotta make more money to support my family! My mom resorted to stealing we are so poor" I think Jerrah just redid his contract. So he's not hurting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for Jason as his name is being brought up and he probably isn't even close to her as other's have said.I agree, especially if he is not close! I think Jerrah just redid his contract. So he's not hurting.Last year and it was quite lucrative! I'm sure he wishes he could just throw a little money at this and make it go away. I have a feeling it is much more complicated.
