He was a liar on most things, and a big time creep. The movie conveniently left out his and the prosecutors total abuse of the basketball players that Hill testified against. They were college kids who he had shaving points on games. when they wanted to stop he threatened them, and at least one went to prison. hill walked away scot-free for ratting on them, although it was his idea, his scam, and he ran it. That was the case he testified in that got him his deal.
