And then things really got surreal.
In one of the last spectacles involving a young man who may best be known for what he didn’t do with his opportunities, Collins invited reporters to a scattershot press conference in jail.

He referred to Douglas County District Judge Gary Randall’s sentence of life plus 90 to 110 years as “life plus Star Trek years.” He said prosecutors used a couple of Sammy “the Bull” Gravanos against him as if he were John Gotti.
He said the judge violated his rights by not sequestering the jury. And he said it was a “good possibility” that the drug gangs in California “got” to the jurors deciding his fate.
Referring to himself in third person, he called his sparsely attended trial “a very high-profile case” — “right under” the trial of Roy Ellis in the death of 12-year-old Amber Harris.
He reiterated his stance that he’s no snitch — saying that was part of the reason he left the Nebraska football team as a senior. Collins, a running back, said he took the fall rather than snitch about what he now claims were $1,000-a-month payments from boosters.
