A Sunday Story

July 27th, 2008 · 2 Comments

For a change of pace, I’m going to blog about a real life experience that I had earlier this week at LA Criminal court. And for all of you who think I was the criminal- think again!! About 2-3 weeks ago in my office building on Wilshire, our receptionist was accosted and robbed in the elevator after fetching a bunch of coffee’s for everyone in the office. The crazy bum who jacked her Chanel purse took off down the stairs, while myself and 2 other guys in my office followed in pursuit. Long story short, we got the purse back and cornered the guy until the police came and arrested him. However, in the process this cracked out transient bit me on my forearm, and broke skin - so i bled. Bad move for me considering the crazy fool had all sorts of nasty diseases- including Hep C, Tuberculosis and HIV. I was pretty freakin’ livid to say the least. So, when it came time to testify this week i did my duty- and just like in Law and Order, had to point the guy out while on the witness stand. Unfortunately for the criminal, it was his 3rd strike so he is going to jail for life. And on the bright side- he can’t attack anyone again- except for other criminals in jail. So… the moral of the story is- no purse is worth risking your life for- so leave it up to the police to fight crime! haha Enjoy the pics I took in court below….

    … they let you take your cell cam in AND take pics in court? I spent a week in the downtown LA courthouse (jury) and at the x-ray machine downstairs, the deputies warned me not to take my cellphone camera out of my pocket in the courtroom. Same thing when I spent a week in a federal jury a couple of years ago.

    Anyway, sorry about your “run in” with *that criminal SKUM*. I Hope nothing *bad* comes from the injury you were inflicted with.

    BTW… why haven’t you answered my email Geoffrey? You know… I get rather *suspicious* when people don’t bother to answer my question(s)… ?:[——…

    Regards.
