Sony has been fighting to get this picture distributed. It will be distributed. How it’s going to be distributed, I don’t think anybody knows quite yet. But it’s going to be distributed. And what Sony has been trying to do is to get the picture out to the public. But, at the same time, be sure that the rights of its employees and the rights of the movie-going public are protected.

– David Boies on Meet the Press yesterday, explaining that his client Sony is going to make sure we all watch The Interview now that it’s our patriotic duty to watch lame pot jokes about North Korea.

Lawyer Keeps Documents In Fridge So Hundreds Of Cats Can’t Pee On Them

By Staci Zaretsky

When you have 100+ cats, your house is their litter box.

I knew I was in the middle of an epidemic.

– Jan Van Dusen, an attorney accused of animal abuse whose home, where she kept more than one hundred feral cats, was raided by Animal Control officers. She admitted in court that her house “smelled like feces,” and also smelled like urine, “but not that much.”

(The U.S. Tax Court previously allowed Van Dusen to deduct a small amount for her cat care expenses — but not the $12,000 she initially requested.)

Lawyer Makes Millions After Sleeping With His Paralegal. What Happened Next Is… Totally Believable.

By Staci Zaretsky

[T]he defendant’s practice basically consisted of him showing up at the office every now and again to do a closing and then leaving to go drinking or sleep with his paralegal. You can’t do $33 million in business in real estate closings if that’s what your practice consists of.

A Partner Accused Strikes Back

By David Lat

Stanley B. Stallworth

The allegation is completely unfounded, and we look forward to defending vigorously Stan’s good name and reputation. Stan is a pillar of the community, and he has tirelessly worked on behalf of young people for the past 25 years.

– The Stallworth family, in a statement issued to Am Law Daily regarding the sexual assault charges filed against Stanley Stallworth, a real estate partner in the Chicago office of Sidley Austin, and his nephew, Therrie Miller.

(The full statement and additional commentary, after the jump.)

Here is the rest of the statement from the Stallworth family:

As a former teacher, current member of several nonprofit organizations focused on improving the circumstances of underserved youth and their families, and a major university scholarship donor, Stan remains undaunted in his commitment to improving society by creating more educational, cultural and social opportunities for underserved segments of his community. We are confident that justice will prevail and Stan can resume his normal life.

When we first reported about the story on Friday, Sidley Austin informed us that Stallworth would be taking a leave from the firm so he could fight the charges. And it looks like he’s fighting them vigorously, if his choice of counsel says anything: Am Law reports that he has hired Henderson Adam, a well-known criminal defense boutique in Chicago that is led by former Holland & Knight partner Victor Henderson and local trial attorney Sam Adam Jr..
Victor Henderson used to lead Holland & Knight’s Chicago office. Sam Adam Jr. received his law degree from the University of Wisconsin, which happens to be Stan Stallworth’s alma mater. Their firm, Henderson Adam, has grown to six attorneys since its founding in 2011.
Sam Adam Jr., working together with his father, a prominent Chicago trial lawyer, has experience getting high-profile figures out of legal hot water:

The father-and-son legal team represented disgraced Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich at his first corruption trial, which ended before a hung jury. The two Adams stepped back from the ex-governor’s defense in late 2010 after their client ran out of money to pay his legal fees. (Blagojevich is currently appealing his conviction on corruption charges at a second trial.)
The duo also helped Chicago native and R&B singer R. Kelly win an acquittal on child pornography charges in 2008.

If Adam’s good enough for R. Kelly, he’s good enough for S. Stallworth. There are some similarities between the cases: both involve rich and successful African-Americans accused of naughtiness involving young people.
As noted in our earlier story, the Sidley sources we’ve heard from have expressed shock at the charges against Stan Stallworth. If you have information to share with us about the case or about Stallworth, feel free to email us or text us (646-820-8477). Thanks.

Lawyer Defends Client’s MBTA ‘Up-Skirt’ Photos, Claims They Should Be Protected by the First Amendment

She said in public places like the T, people “cannot expect privacy.”

A lawyer representing an Andover man arrested in 2010 for allegedly taking photos up women’s skirts on the T argued this week that her client’s actions should be protected by the First Amendment.

Attorney Michelle Menkin told Super Court judges on Monday that the law being used against Michael Robertson—the state’s “Peeping Tom” law—only applies to people being photographed unknowingly while nude or partially nude, in places like dressing rooms, and does not cover strangers in public settings that are clothed.
In 2004, at the onset of technological advances where cell phones with portable cameras became more common, Massachusetts adopted a law to punish secret surveillance of a person who is nude or partially nude in areas where there is an expectation of privacy.
Robertson, 31, was arrested three years ago after he was caught taking photos up a decoy police officer’s skirt, using his cell phone, on an MBTA Green Line trolley.
Following his arrest, Robertson filed a motion to dismiss the charges of attempted electronic voyeurism for lack of probable clause, but his appeal was denied, so he decided to try and get the motion dismissed. Robert’s trial in local court is currently on hold, pending the outcome of the SJC hearing.
Menken argued this week that the current law being used to charge Robertson can’t be the basis of a conviction because, “the statute, on its face, applied to Peeping Tom activity aggravated by the use of a recording device, and does not protect clothed people in public places.”
In a court-filing, she wrote:

…construing the statute so broadly as to encompass photography of clothed people in public venues would render it unconstitutionally overbroad…it would potentially punish artistic  and journalistic activities protected by the first amendment.

“A person expects that the area under their clothing is private and protected against hostile intrusion … but if a clothed person is out in public  and reveals areas under their clothing, whether inadvertently or otherwise, to plain view, she or he no longer has an expectation of privacy,” Menkin said in court.
In a counter argument, the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office said that there is an expectation that people should not being taking pictures up women’s skirts, despite the way the law is written, however. “A person has a reasonable expectation of privacy not to be so photographed while she rides the train … [and] that areas of her body that she does not expose to the public will not be photographed.”
Prior to this case, Sen. Katherine Clark submitted legislation on Beacon Hill to refine the language of the law and make it less ambiguous. In her proposal, Clark recommended adjusting the wording in the current state law, so that it reflects technological changes such as the use of cameras on phones, and increases fines for those convicted of violating the law.
Clark also wants to include the words “intimate area” to the state’s law, so that even body parts covered by clothing—like underwear—would be protected. That definition would cover “human genitals, buttocks, pubic area, or female breast below a point immediately above the tip of the areola, whether naked or covered by undergarments.” That legislation is pending, however.
If Roberston’s appeal is denied, and he is convicted under the law, he could face up to two-and-a-half years in prison.

Judge Who Allegedly Had Sex In His Chambers With Younger Woman Gets Put In His Place

By Staci Zaretsky

Judge Wade H. McCree

I don’t agree with it, [but] I’m not surprised.

– Brian Einhorn, the lawyer representing Judge Wade McCree in his judicial misconduct case, commenting on the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission’s recommendation that McCree be removed from the bench. Wade had been accused of sexting a shirtless photo of himself to a bailiff and having an affair with a litigant, sometimes using his chambers for sexual rendezvous.

Story of lawyer, prostitute helps win an acquittal

Robert Gavi, Times Union

By Robert Gavin

Published 10:57 am, Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Page 1 of 1

Heard the one about the lawyer and the prostitute?
Jurors heard it, too. Then they spared a two-time violent felon a potential life sentence when he was acquitted after less than three hours of deliberation.
The one-liner in question was no joke, but rather part of attorney Cheryl Coleman's closing argument on behalf of her client, Raheem Hines, 35, of Albany, who was on trial last week for allegedly robbing a woman at knifepoint on Sept. 28, 2012 on the 200 block of North Pearl Street.
With two prior felony convictions, Hines was staring at life behind bars because his third rap would make him a "persistent violent felon," making him a candidate for 25 years to life.
Before the trial, Albany County prosecutors offered Hines a less-than-tempting plea bargain to resolve the case by serving 18 years to life. He rejected it.
The alleged robbery victim said Hines put a knife to her neck around 1:40 a.m., demanded all her money and robbed her of $20. She said she suffered defensive knife wounds to fingers on her left hand. Albany police, following sporadic drops of blood along North Pearl Street, located Hines in the nearby Ida Yarbrough housing development with his hand wrapped. They arrested him and found a $20 bill on him.
Easy case? Apparently not.
Coleman argued the woman was no robbery victim, but a prostitute. She noted there was no blood on the $20 bill and said the reason was that her client never gave it to the woman. Coleman focused on the woman's testimony that she had $30 but Hines robbed her of only $20 of it.
"What sense does that make?" Coleman told the jury before Judge Stephen Herrick. "What kind of robber only takes two-thirds of your money? Not even a lawyer does that. A lawyer takes one-third of your money. But who takes two-thirds? I mean, she said he said, 'Give me all your money.' What kind of robber leaves you with a third of it? What kind of robber leaves you with 10? The worst robber in the world? It makes no sense."
Jurors got the case at 10:13 a.m. Friday. By 12:58 p.m., they had their verdict: Not guilty.
The deliberations included time for lunch.
Hudson's not happy
Last week we focused on the case of convicted dog abuser Anthony Walker and that despite a five-year ban from owning pets, Walker is allowed to live in the same house as his mother's dog.
Suffice to say, that news was not overwhelmingly popular with many readers — not the least of whom was one of his four-legged victims.
The popular Facebook page for "Hudson the Railroad Puppy," one of the baby pit bulls who fell victim to Walker's abuse, posted an official statement after Law Beat reported Walker's unusual arrangement last week.
The statement explained Hudson's owners initially knew Walker would be allowed to live with his mother's dog, Bella. But when Albany County District Attorney David Soares began touting the pet ban, which lasts the length of Walker's probation, they thought that arrangement had been avoided.
"We were very excited and happy and thought something in the laws had changed that we didn't know about," Hudson's statement read. "Now to revert back to the original deal is just... Very Disappointing!!!! This monster scum should never be around an animal! EVER!!!!"
The page, created by Hudson's owner, is "liked" by at least 2,800 Facebook users.
Walker, 30, of Albany was sentenced by Judge Peter Lynch to six months in jail (time already served) and the five years probation for breaking Buster's Law, the state's felony animal cruelty statute.
Walker abandoned Hudson and his sisters, Pearl and Carina, last September on train tracks on Pearl Street. Hudson now needs to wear a prosthesis after his paw was amputated. Pearl lost two of her toes. Carina did not survive.
In January, Walker abandoned four more dogs, at least one starving and almost frozen to death, in a U-Haul trailer in Colonie.
His plea deal covered both cases. Soares told reporters even if Walker got the top sentence of two years in jail he could have adopted an animal once he got out.
He suggested the plea deal was a better option because it banned Walker from being around animals for five years.
Just not the dog owned by his mother.

Sorry, But You Don’t Have A Job Because The Market Is Glutted With Baby Boomers

By Staci Zaretsky

[T]here are those who argue that there have been permanent, structural changes to the legal market that will reduce the number of legal jobs, and there is no denying that law school tuition remains daunting. But the demographic factors suggest the real culprit in the law school graduates’ jobs dilemma of today may be the law school graduates of four decades ago.

– Robert Anderson, a professor at Pepperdine University School of Law, explaining how research shows that the large Baby Boomer bulge and the fact that lawyers are retiring later in life are likely both major contributors to the employment woes of recent law school graduates.

Alleged Adult Store Ankle-Biter Acquitted, But Was Witness Tampering Involved?

By Staci Zaretsky

While Naughton was acquitted of all charges in April, Tunney was recently found to have abused his authority by attempting to “tamper with” a potential witness in Naughton’s criminal investigation.

(Read on to hear Tunney’s message, and see footage of Naughton’s arrest.)

The Awesome Aftermath of the West Orange Cease-and-Desist Letter That Went Viral Worldwide

By Staci Zaretsky

What Mr. [Richard] Trenk did was so egregiously sloppy that I’m told his name is entering the legal lexicon: “To Trenk” means “to show a lackadaisical attitude toward the law, with catastrophic results for the client.” A usage example might be: “We were doing great until the lawyer missed the filing deadline and Trenked the whole case.”

– Jake Freivald, owner of the domain name westorange.info, in public comments made during last night’s West Orange Township Council meeting. Freivald received a cease-and-desist letter from Trenk, and Freivald’s lawyer, Stephen Kaplitt, responded with a snarky letter that went viral globally.

(What else happened at the meeting? I attended, and it was a hot mess, jam-packed with shouting and even tears. Read on to get the juicy details….)

When public comments were opened, residents of West Orange stepped up the podium, repeatedly, to denounce Richard Trenk’s actions taken on behalf of the town. One fellow noted that a friend of his, a lawyer from France, had called him about the cease-and-desist letter. He then went on to state that “this kind of behavior … is the MO of the town attorney.” He concluded by letting the Town Council know that he thought it was “time for Richard Trenk to hit the road.”
Other townspeople used phrases like “national embarrassment” to describe the situation the Town Council had put West Orange into after attorney Stephen Kaplitt’s response to Trenk’s C&D letter went viral. Truth be told, the sh*t really hit the fan after Freivald delivered his comments.
Here’s Council President Victor Cirilo defending Trenk’s cease-and-desist letter:

My favorite outburst: “Where did you get your law degree? All of a sudden you’re an attorney?”
The best part, hands down, was when Cirilo admitted that he wasn’t sure if Trenk’s “poorly researched [and] poorly written” letter had any legal basis or not, and was then asked why he was defending it publicly if that was the case. Shortly thereafter, Councilman Joe Krakoviak broke down in tears, telling the audience that it was the worst town council meeting he’d ever watched or been a part of.
It was definitely a night to remember, and it’s probably fair to say that Richard Trenk won’t be getting his contract renewed as town attorney. Sorry, but sh*t happens when shoddy legal work goes viral.
(Flip to the next page to see the epic response to Trenk’s cease-and-desist letter, in case you missed it last week — or want to enjoy it again….)
