Jerry Seinfeld is being sued by author Missy Chase Lapine after he made comments on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Seinfeld compared the author to three name killers like Mark David Chapman and James Earl Ray while making jokes to Letterman about the lawsuit Lapine has against his him and his wife over the plagarism of her cookbook.

The best part of the lawsuit is the changing of some wording in the paperwork that removed the wording of  ”Jerry Seinfeld is an enormously wealthy and well-known comedian” to “well-known actor”. The reason was to minimize the statements that defamed her.

Sentenced Man Walking

CARLISLE, Pa. - A Pennsylvania man says he had one alternative when his brother didn’t show up to give him a ride to court: start walking. Stephen Shoemaker of Shippensburg was scheduled to appear at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday for sentencing on a 2007 drunken-driving conviction.

Shoemaker, 33, doesn’t have a car or driver’s license. So he started walking to the Cumberland County Courthouse in Carlisle at dawn. He kept walking for about 25 miles in 90-plus-degree heat.

Shoemaker arrived about 3:30 p.m., after a detour to Carlisle Regional Medical Center, where he was treated for dehydration. Judge Edward Guido had issued an arrest warrant when Shoemaker failed to appear. Instead he agreed to defer sentencing until July. Guido says he hesitated only because “that means he’ll have to walk back to Shippensburg.”

Deputy Public Defender Anthony Adams volunteered to give Shoemaker a ride home.

All that and the only thing the judge gives him is a later sentencing.

I have a feeling this guy will be back in court sooner for assaulting his brother though.

I have to give it to the guy for attempting to make it but has he never heard of a phone?

As a law student and avid gamer it is a joy to hear that Jack Thompson’s antics are no longer being tolerated.

Earlier this afternoon, Thompson walked out on his disciplinary hearing where the Florida Bar asked for “enhanced disbarment”. Hopefully preventing him from practicing law for the next ten years.

Before leaving though, Mr. Thompson filed a “Formal Objection to June 4 Sanctions Hearing” about 4,500 words.
