Right it's that time again im off to the Pub have a great weekend everyone

Very interesting Kly (and funny). I can only imagine the wide variety of people and lifestyles you must encounter. It probably helps you size people up, to a degree no?

Some of the people I represented were the nicest people you'd meet. At the same time there were others capable of cruelty that defies imagination. I've been asked about the worst person I ever represented, and he wasn't a murderer or rapist. Rather, he had an argument with his girlfriend, and to spite her, he woke up her three year old son, brought him downstairs, and held the boy's hand down on a stove burner on high. The police received calls from neighbors, who heard the boy's screams. This guy thought he should get probation, and couldn't understand why he was getting a an aggravated sentence.

On a lighter note, I had a case involving a burlary with a homeless man. He would wander into a particular mall each night, hide in a dressing room of a large department store, and wait for the 10 pm guard to run his checks. He would then roll a tv into the bedding department, slip into a pair of brand new pajamas, take some food from the gourmet food section, and then go to bed while watching tv. He'd get up early and make the bed and put the tv back before hiding until the store opened. He'd mingle with the customers and leave, only to return at tnight. He did this for about a week until he was caught when he overslept.

The judge was more amused by his antics and dismissed the case upon the guy's promise not to go back to the mall.

Klyd, Do you ever have dreams or nightmares about these people you represent?

No, Mig. I haven't been a public defender since 1994, and have had only a handful of criminal cases since that time. After a while you get used to it. Sometimes I really miss it.

Occasionally, I'll bump into a former criminal client, and we'll relive the old days.

"Hey! Remember when you assaulted that guy with a wrench and he nearly died but then I managed to get the jury to believe it was self defense? Ahh good times!"

Kind of.

An example: Colonel Mustard, you old son of a gun. I haven't seen you since that incident with the lead pipe in the conservatory. How's Miss Scarlet doing, by the way?

Wait, I thought it was with the revolver in the study

Nope. That was Professor Plum...or was it Miss Peacock with the rope in the lounge?

I think we need a legal advice section called "ASK KLY".

I have a Capital One card which I very very seldom use (mostly when I travel, but not even so much then).

Anyway, I got this letter yesterday that cracks me up:


You never write. You never call. You never charge.
What did we do? Or (gulp) not do?
No holding back. This relationship is not working. But it's not you, it's us. So let's talk."

Then it goes on to ask me to call for a card "upgrade".

I thought it was funny.

You have to love a credit card with a sense of humor.

O.J.'s bail has been revoked.

OJ Simpson's bail has reportedly been revoked ... and he's heading back to jail!

FOX News reporter Adam Housley is reporting that the Juice is set to fly to Vegas from Florida today, and will arrive in the early evening. According to Housley, the bondsman actually revoked the bail, which he legally can do, because he learned that the Clark County D.A. has filed a motion to revoke O.J.'s bail. As to why, we don't know yet, but it appears to be related to some sort of phone message. Someone stole my s**t!

You Ring We Spring Bail Bonds -- O.J.'s bondsman -- had no comment.

UPDATE: A court official confirms Simpson will be brought before a judge next week on allegations that he violated terms of his bail.

Beth,

I just was gonna post the name of the bailbondsmen. Ha ha ha Only in Vegas.

I remember a few years ago, on the strip in Vegas, they had a little mini mall with a store called "Condom-Mania". Ha ha ha Gotta love Vegas.

I remember at school (many moons ago) i had a teacher called Mr. Cockburn whose name used to make me giggle....
Still does really

Mr. Cockburn? Ouch



My parents had an acquaintance with the last name of Sasso. Everyone called him asshole. He changed his last name to Bryant.

TIS

Looks like he made contact with one of the witnesses, which is a no-no.

I have a lecturer called Mr. Woodcock.

"Woody" is doubly fitting.

I had Professor Putz for Statistics in college. He insisted that we pronounce it Pootz.

Believe it or not -- I knew a guy whose name actually was Michael Hunt. I also knew a Mark Sprick and a guy name Glasscock

Oh yeah -- also know a guy with a last name of Pussey -- he says it is pronounced "poo say" No matter how you pronoince it -- I have to hide my chuckle

I knew a guy in college named James Class (Jim Class).

I also had a friend named Robert Hertz.... no big deal there, but he had a brother named Richard (Dick Hertz).

One of my dear friends from years back married a guy named Henry Kissinger. She's got some great stories of calling for restaurant reservations and getting the best table.

All these guys should play pro sports. The guys would go nuts with them in the fantasy games.

I was at a friends house last week and they were talking about a guy named Mike Rodick... for those of you who aren't getting that (I didn't get it that fast)..Mike Ro would be pronounced micro..

Haywood Jablowmey

For some reason it took me all of 2 seconds to get this one.

Well then?

There was a lad in my class at school his name was Mark Crapper,he eventually got that much shit,he changed his name to clark
