Overview
- The proof of service filed Aug. 19 shows an attorney for Deion Sanders accepted a subpoena requiring him to testify at Shilo Sanders’s bankruptcy trial in Denver.
- The subpoena commands attendance at a trial scheduled Aug. 31–Sept. 4, which overlaps Colorado’s Sept. 3 season opener and the team’s planned travel on Sept. 1.
- A Boulder County deputy tried to serve Sanders in person at an open practice on Aug. 11 but was told he was unavailable and later transferred the papers after counsel offered to accept service.
- Plaintiff’s counsel has offered to arrange a set time or record Sanders’s testimony for court, but Sanders’s lawyer could still seek a motion to quash and the judge will have final authority over any accommodation.
- The underlying dispute stems from a $11.89 million default judgment from a 2015 school incident that Shilo Sanders is asking a bankruptcy court to discharge on grounds he acted in self‑defense.
