Kate Roggio Buck spoke with USA Today about the bankruptcy case of Colorado football player Shilo Sanders. After being sued in 2016 by a school security guard, Sanders, who was still a minor, was initially represented by counsel, and he participated in the case. But when the case eventually went to trial in 2022, Sanders did not show up, and a judgment was entered against him. Kate said, “I don’t know many early-20s individuals who would be well-versed in understanding the consequences of their actions in a legal proceeding. I just wonder where it went wrong that he didn’t have the guidance to understand the importance of his participation in [the] trial and to have representation all along the way.” She continued, “there may have been any number of reasons that things went the way they did, but it does seem sort of like a parade of horribles in a sense that something he did as a minor continued to follow him into adulthood.”
