Legal Juice
Beware! It’s Sausage Boy!
Have you ever been hit by a sausage? No? Then maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to judge authorities in Manchester, England who are prosecuting a 12-year-old boy for throwing a cocktail sausage at a neighbor. And it hit him on the shoulder! And this crazy judge said he couldn’t…
Not The Best Bedside Manner
No, you didn’t say these things Dr. Lau, did you? When asked by Patient A if the cramping she had experienced was normal, Dr. Lau said “I wouldn’t know, I’m not a woman.” [So I guess he would know if cramping is normal for insensitive, unprofessional clods?] When asked by…
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell – Just Lie, And You’ll Get By
All Randy Miller ever wanted to be was a soldier. He achieved that in 2004, when he enlisted and was assigned to the elite 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He volunteered to be a paratrooper, not the safest of choices. He made 22 jumps and, along the way,…
Rude Awakening For Sleeping Judge
Huh? What? Oh, sorry. I was sleeping, much like Rockingham County, New Hampshire Judge Patricia Coffey. She beat that rap, but won’t be able to snooze her way through these latest allegations. See, her husband was disbarred in 2005, and the state has been trying to collect legal fees relating…

Poor Judge – With Flasher Son – Has Become A Punching Bag
This poor woman, Philly family court Judge Lisa Richette, is really having a tough time. At right is her son, Lawrence Richette, who was arrested for assaulting his 78-year-old mother. Yup, that’s Lawrence on the right there, letting it all hang out. Said Mr. Richette: “This is what I think…
Whoa There, Congressman
Unless you’re a shut-in, at some point in your life, you’ve probably been frustrated over an airport baggage issue. It is unlikely, though, that you reacted as Congressman Bob Filner allegedly did at Dulles Airport a couple days ago. Per the airport police, Filner, an 8-term Congressman who is Chairman…
I Married A Monkey
Okay, so she didn’t exactly marry the monkey (though she’s paying $1,300/month to support him.) Rockville, Maryland resident Elyse Gazewitz was on trial yesterday for illegally having a monkey as a pet. Since the animal was taken from her in May, she has had to pay boarding fees of $1,300/month…
Are You Sure Your Doctor Is Not A Tailor?
They both sew with a steady hand, right? Somehow, a 30-year-old Indian man posed as a doctor for almost a year without raising even an eyebrow. So how was he caught? A security guard overheard the “doctor” telling a patient that he did not know the way to the pathology…
