Unique Legal Defense

This is definitely in the “you’ve got to read it to believe it” category….

Cruising CNN yesterday, I found this article (which was actually one of CNN’s top stories at the time). Go read it…

Yep… you read it correctly, the ladies entire defense is that she was giving head to the guy that died in the accident. I think my favorite part in the article, is the State Attorney’s response :

“His pants could have been down because he was mooning a car he was drag racing,” Platt said. “His pants could have been down because he was urinating out of a window. His pants could have been down because he wasn’t feeling well.”

To bad the U.S. has such a short attention span that CNN will never post a follow up article, to let us know if her defense was successful or not…

Bye-Bye Eisner

Ok… technically, he’s not gone yet… but its definitely a step in that direction…

In case you missed it.. Disney had their annual shareholder’s meeting yesterday, and something like 43% of the shareholders voted against Eisner as CEO/Chairman of Disney. Several called for him to quit outright, instead of waiting for his contract to end (2006).. In response, the Disney board split Eisner’s duties… he is CEO, but no longer Chairman. The board of directors voted unanimously to fill the Chairman seat with George Mitchell (who only 25% or so of the shareholder’s voted against….nothing like the lesser of two evils huh?)
