The Wal-Mart of tickets

Even though McNeil said he felt threatened by Ford, he still called him up to go places that weren't business related.

Defense Attorney Scholl plays for the court a taped conversation from April 7, 2005. In this conversation, the two make dinner arrangments to meet up at the Peabody and then made they reference to a future trip that they'd be going together to Miami.

In Exhibit 84a, Ford talks about getting tickets to an upcoming Miami Heat game. McNeil's voice gets excited and it's clear he's interested in the game. Ford offers to get McNeil some tickets to game too and they agree to go together.

According to McNeil this wasn't uncommon. He often accepted free tickets from Ford or would go with him to these types of events.

"He said he was the Wal-Mart of getting tickets to events," says McNeil.

Most of the time Ford made the offer and the agent would accept. Although he says he usually didn't request tickets himself.
