TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Wayne Gretzky will not face criminal charges in connection with a multimillion-dollar sports betting ring busted in New Jersey last week, and he is unlikely to be called to testify against others in the case, his lawyer said Thursday.
Attorney Ron Fujikawa said he received assurances from New Jersey authorities last week that the hockey great was not in any way a central figure in the criminal investigation. That's not surprising, Fujikawa said, because Gretzky did nothing illegal. ...
Gretzky's wife, Janet Jones, also is unlikely to face criminal charges in the case, her lawyer said Thursday. Jones wagered more than $100,000 through the ring, a person with knowledge of the investigation has told The Associated Press; her husband was not directly implicated. ...
The gambling operation allegedly was run by Gretzky's friend and Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet, along with two New Jersey men, including a state trooper.
The three men had been scheduled to appear in court Feb. 21 to have their charges read and rights explained. But a judge on Thursday approved a request from the men's lawyers to waive their appearances, said Jude Del Preore, the court administrator in Burlington County. ...

Not until the MSM gave him an anal probe.
She should be charged,
with lookin` so damn foxy ;-)
( These Gretsky threads are gonna require mandatory pics
of Janet)

Really...how nice, after they dragged their names through the mud.
It really does sound like she might have a gambling problem.....
What on Earth is that ad for?????
Charged with what? Spending their own money in Vegas?
$5,000 on the coin toss --Ya think?
From what I've read of this, NJ law goes after the bookies and consolidators (runners), not the individual bettors.
So Jones is off the hook unless she was involved in taking bets from others (INAL or stayed at a Holiday Inn Express) ...
No. It was making bets with a New Jersey book.
