Emanuel Tolbert

Sad story!
The Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld the conviction of a former S.M.U. All-America wide receiver charged with raping girls he met while working as a substitute teacher. Emanuel Tolbert, 44, claimed that evidence against him was insufficient and that he was barred from asking questions that might have shown that the victims were biased against him because they intended to sue him for civil damages. The Court of Appeals rejected all of his arguments.
