{Louisville, Kentucky}...Karen Sypher, the woman convicted of trying to extort cars, cash and a house from Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino has self-published a book titled "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" complaining that while she "eats canned spinach" at a federal prison camp, Pitino is "puffing away on his Cuban cigars and drinking his Bourbon." Sypher repeats her claims that Pitino raped her twice in 2003. Pitino has said he briefly had sex with Sypher once, after hours at a restaurant. Pitino's lawyer, Steve Pence, says Sypher is "repeating the same lies that a federal jury unanimously rejected." Sypher says the government protected Pitino by falsely portraying her as the "biggest prostitute in Louisville" who accomplished everything "on an office floor or restaurant table."
