Deion Sanders is attempting to avoid in-person testimony in his son Shilo's bankruptcy trial, set to start on August 31 in Denver. Due to a scheduling conflict with Colorado's season opener against Georgia Tech on September 3, Sanders' attorney proposed virtual testimony instead. The judge will decide on this request amid debate on the relevance of Sanders' testimony regarding a 2015 incident that led to Shilo's debt. The trial centers on the legality of discharging that debt, with arguments expected over the interpretation of events from that day. A decision is awaited on whether Deion Sanders will testify and in what format.
