Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy wants profanity excluded from trial
Former University of Cincinnati basketball coach Andy Kennedy doesn’t want profanity used in court during the upcoming trial over comments he said defamed him following his 2008 arrest after a cab driver said he punched and cursed at him.
The case, to be tried before Common Pleas Court Judge Melba Marsh, stems from a Dec. 18, 2008, incident involving Kennedy – in town as the head coach of the University of Mississippi basketball team – and several of his assistant coaches drinking, getting into a cab Downtown and then becoming involved in a shouting match or physical altercation, depending on the different versions of that night, with cabbie Mohamed Jiddou. That incident was witnessed by Michael Strother, a nearby valet, who said he saw Kennedy punch and curse the cabbie.
