Good afternoon professor and class, hope all is well. I think Phil  Mickelson knew what was going on and should have been prosecuted. I  think cause he was a big name in golf they chose to leave him alone. I  think he know what was going on cause he knew that Walters was a big  gambler and Davis was over the inside trading. He owed Walters some  money, so he probably told him you owe me so this is a good chance to  pay me back without using your golf money. He probably told him I got a  guy on the inside and it’s a sure win. Mickelson probably agreed but  told them to just leave my name out of it. His name carried the most  weight so he had the most lose. I would have felt he was not not  guilty if he had just met him, but h knew Walters for awhile. He was  also introduce to Davis so he wasn’t a stranger. I think golfers are  smart cause majority attend good schools so telling me you didn’t know  what you was doing is wrong. Do you think if Mickelson was a black  golfer he would have been charged? we all know blacks don’t get the  benefit of the doubt
