PHOENIX (AP)—A Phoenix prosecutor is seeking the federal files in the investigation of disgraced ex-NBA official Tim Donaghy, who was sentenced in July to 15 months in prison in a gambling scandal.
In sentencing Donaghy, the judge said he’d let the sport down by taking thousands of dollars from a professional gambler in exchange for inside tips on games—including ones he refereed.
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas asked a year ago for access to information from the FBI’s investigation of Donaghy. Thomas said he wanted to know whether Donaghy broke any Arizona laws while officiating two Phoenix Suns-Los Angeles Lakers playoff games in 2007.
Thomas was told he’d have to wait until the investigation was concluded. Now that it has, Thomas has sent a follow-up letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Re: Phoenix prosecutor wants info on disgraced NBA ref
While I'm not sure about the Bryant prosecutor, I do know that the Duke DA was bucking for state AG. That's just about the same as a prosecutor trying to make Gov.AZGrizFan wrote:I don't know?
