The Facts:
Despite making about $2.5 million since 2005 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, Henry is so broke he wants taxpayers to pay for a record of his trial. "He's broke," said Perry Ancona, the former wide receiver's attorney said Tuesday, July 8. "He doesn't have any money to pay for a transcript."

Henry was arrested after a March 31 incident and charged with criminal damaging and assault. A mistrial was declared last week when jurors couldn't come to a unanimous verdict. Prosecutors said Tuesday they would retry Henry and the trial was set for Monday. ... For the record, Henry signed a five-year, $6 million contract after being drafted in 2005. He received about $1 million to sign plus an average of just over $500,000 for the first three years. He was to be paid $520,000 this year, but the team released him after his arrest. Meanwhile, Henry's $360,000 Kentucky house was auctioned in May when he failed to pay the mortgage. Henry's SUV was repossessed last month.
