« So, a Lawyer Walks into a Coffee Bar … | Main | The Daily Memo - 9/12/06 »
Either way, someone’s a scumbum….
Not sure whether we’ve got a drug dealing attorney or corrupt cops, but my money is on the drug dealing attorney.
See, a California lawyer has been representing this guy who’s been charged with lewd acts on a kid. Real peach of a guy. And the attorney claims that evidence in the case, including audio and video tapes, were tampered with. On August 30, he was set to go talk about these allegations with the D.A.
However, the day before, he got a call from a woman who claimed she needed a criminal lawyer because her boyfriend had been arrested. He and two employees went to meet the woman at a local Starbucks and he was arrested. The sheriff searched his car and pulled out a pound of meth. They’re not talking about it, but the implication clearly seems to be that it was an undercover sting. He says it was an elaborate framing, of course, and that there wasn’t any meth in his car. It was all about retaliation and intimidation, to keep him from meeting with the D.A., man.
Not sure why, under this rationale, the sheriff also had to bust his two staffers.
But never fear - the attorney already seems to be gearing up for his big lawsuit against the county, claiming that the sheriffs may have dug through his client files while executing a search warrant, thereby violating attorney-client confidentiality. But it’s good to see that he can still make bad jokes: “At least I was rated worthy enough in their eyes not to have just an ounce.”
