Tocchet Not Out Of Woods
Trooper expected to aid state against Tocchet
The gambling case against former NHL star Rick Tocchet could take a significant step forward Thursday when a New Jersey state trooper accused of running a multimillion-dollar sports betting operation with Tocchet is expected to plead guilty.
The attorney for one of the men involved with the case said he anticipates James Harney, an eight-year veteran of the State Police, will cooperate with the state in its case against Tocchet and, possibly, James Ulmer as part of a plea agreement. Edwin Jacobs Jr., the attorney representing Ulmer, also told ESPN.com on Wednesday that Harney's plea agreement has been anticipated for some time.
