The Facts: Styles Beckles, a drug dealer who was on trial last week in Philadelphia, has apologized to Buckhalter for a written statement claiming that the current Denver RB routinely bought high-end marijuana from Beckles. The apology, released by Beckles’ counsel and forwarded to PFT, states a follows: “I have never sold, talked about selling or given marijuana or anything else illegal to Correll Buckhalter.
Diehards Line:As PFT's Mike Florio suggested, whether anyone believes Beckles remains to be seen. A jury heard his version of the events last week, and opted not to find that reasonable doubt existed as to whether Beckles was a drug dealer. And so the jury convicted him on two counts of possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. Thus, it’s also reasonable, Florio further opined, to doubt Beckles’ denial that he sold drugs to Buckhalter -- and likewise to doubt Buckhalter’s denial that he purchased pot from Beckles. Buckhalter has not been charged.
