BSO reported had Barnes’ ex-wife Gloria Govan planned to call Derek Fisher as a witness in her custody case against Matt Barnes. Barnes has full custody after Govan tried to kidnap the kids and was arrested.
Barnes’ lawyers plan to discredit Fisher with this info.
According to records obtained by The Blast, Barnes’ legal team filed documents into the restraining order he has against Govan, officially entering info on Fisher’s car crash and DUI arrest from last year.
Back in June 2017, the former NBA coach and player flipped an SUV with Govan in the passenger seat while driving on a freeway in Los Angeles. He was arrested and charged, but later plead no contest and was sentenced to 100-hours of community service. He was also ordered to install an ignition interlock device on his car that forced him to perform a breathalyzer before the vehicle would start.
Ironically, the car Fisher crashed was registered to Matt Barnes.
Fisher has filed declarations into the other cases between Barnes and Govan, and is expected to testify in their divorce case. In the restraining order case, where Govan was arrested, she listed Fisher as a witness and he is expected to testify on her behalf.
Good for Barnes.
