Malik Beasley could still be facing charges, NBA punishment in sports gambling probe
NY Post
Malik Beasley is not out of the woods yet.
A source with knowledge of the situation told The Post that the NBA veteran is still a “subject” of a federal probe related to sports gambling and could still be charged.
Beasley could still face punishment from the league after its own investigation as well.
Beasley’s attorneys, Steve Haney and Mike Schachter, told ESPN that they had “extensive conversations” with investigators and “received determination” that their client was no longer a “target” in the investigation.
“Months after this investigation commenced, Malik remains uncharged and is not the target of this investigation,” Haney said. “An allegation with no charge, indictment or conviction should never have the catastrophic consequence this has caused Malik. This has literally been the opposite of the presumption of innocence.”
As a subject of the investigation, Beasley is still “within the scope of the grand jury’s investigation” despite not being a target, which is “a person as to whom the prosecutor or the grand jury has substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutor, is a putative defendant,” per the Department of Justice’s definitions.
