Law Student Shoots his Textbook and More Lawyers in the News
1. Casebook Full of Holes. Indiana Law School student, Jesse Sneed put two rounds from an AR-15 assault rifle into his Real Estate-Finance Casebook. Apparently he hadn’t done too well in Criminal Law 101 either.
2. According to The Washington Post, the judge who decided to make his mark on the legal world by suing his dry cleaners for $54 Million for allegedly losing a pair of pants, Roy Pearson is set to lose his job.
3. Here Comes the Bride (with a JD) On a similar note, newly married attorney Elana Elbogen filed a $400,000 suit against her florist for substituting pastel pink hydrangeas for the verbally agreed upon “dark rust” hydrangeas (her total flower bill? over $27K) Geez, and I thought my wife was ticked at the less-than-prime prime rib at our wedding.
4. On a more serious and uplifting note. . . . Barry Scheck, co-founder of the Innocence Project appeared in the press this week after his organization used DNA testing to exonerate Pete Williams who had been wrongly convicted of rape and kidnapping. Pete had served 22 years of a 45 year sentence.
