Tucker letter sent to MSU alleges ‘new proof’

[]

Mel Tucker’s legal representatives sent a 106-page letter that provides “brand-new evidence” to Michigan State’s interim president and board of trustees Thursday morning as the administrative hearing tied to the misbehavior allegations against the previous Spartans football coach began.The letter

, which is from among Tucker’s attorneys and was released extensively to the media, says the woman who came up with the claim against Tucker that caused his shooting, sexual attack awareness speaker Brenda Tracy, “appears to have actually made a profession out of deceptive and controling individuals.”

The letter tries to detail contradictions in the allegations from Tracy, who submitted the formal complaint against Tucker with the school’s office of civil rights in December 2022. It states she “manipulated an essential witness,” “erased essential evidence” and selectively provided transcripts to the Workplace of Institutional Equity.Editor’s Picks
