Could Chris Webber possibly be trying on his new championship ring in jail?

Jim Schaefer of the Detroit Free Press is reporting that U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds has set the trial for Webber to take place on July 8, after the NBA Finals.  Webber is facing charges of lying to a grand jury about allegedly accepting $280,000 from Michigan booster Ed Martin.  

Webber's lawyer, Steve Fishman, had a request granted that the trial be put on hold to allow the all-star to fulfill his obligation to the Sacramento Kings before his trial in Detroit.

"You've got teammates, an organization, the citizens of Sacramento," Fishman said. "There's a lot more people than Chris Webber who are affected by this."

Fishman said, "The suggestion that Chris Webber received any special consideration merely because he is a professional basketball player is so ridiculous as to deserve no further comment."
