ok so Scott Steepleman covered the Lance DUI trial and his first lie was calling the two kids who testified "men".....believe me, they were boys, not men.. now I don't want to beat up on college students, but we seem to have some parenting skills that need attention.....spare the rod, spoil the child... and we must stop this epidemic of drinking and lying...adults are modeling the wrong behavior to the kids....
and when you defer that responsibility onto the taxpayer like me, well, it pisses me off!! if you want me to be their daddy, then let me spend a few hours with their mommy (blow harder!!) so I can feel like part of the family!
and college drinking issues......of course the majority of students aren't getting drunk and driving, but why is alcohol such a huge drug in the collegiate environment..and who's
pushing it...Brooks Firestone is one, I know that..he's a wine and beer maker catering to the college crowd...I really don't care if people drink themselves to death, just stay off the goddam roads!!and I know drugs are a part of the culture, but in institutions of education, why don't they teach about alcohol abuse....instead we have parents trying to protect their drunk kids from the cops who are DOING THEIR RIGHTFUL JOB, arresting them and keeping them off the road..for their own protection and mine..this tolerance for drunk driving amazes me..do you want to end up at 63 years old in court doing circus tricks like Peter Lance because you were caught drinking and driving....where did this attitude come from...ignorance, that's where..
so the next few kids will testify next Monday and I think they should get a lawyer before they speak..I would hate to see anything bad happen to them..especially one gal..I think Rosie was her name..she should be on the cover of Latina Vogue.....she was stunning in blue!a bizarre instance in the Tues hearing was a skinny guy about 25 years old claiming to be a lawyer... he kept trying to talk to the judge..the guy was not even part of the hearing but Judge Hill let him ramble on about how he's lawyer from LA, up to check out the proceedings, and saying he would represent any of the college students if they wanted!
I couldn't believe this...it was so unprofessional and sleazy and another waste of time..I don't know why the Judge didn't tell him to get lost...Hill actually encouraged the guy..but none of the students took him up on his offer....what a weird way to get a lawyer..and this guy looked like he was selling magazines subscriptions door to door! and not once did Judge Hill use a gavel...geez dude STEP IT UP..control your courtroom!!
I find it amazing that the judge would consider testimony from kids who were arrested for drinking alcohol and driving their parent's cars....and on a school night, too!

The judge knew full well the media was there taking down every word and put on everything but a clown nose and a big yellow button that said : "HI, HOW ARE YA?!" to prove what a nice Judge he is. He took the bait, line AND sinker from the defendant and tippy toed around that courtroom like a little lamb, handing out FREE SPEECH buttons and party favors to make sure he LOOKED GOOD in the press. anyone who read the New Press story and your columns can see he let his courtroom turn into a circus - with defendants, witnesses, and unknown lawyers shouting out whatever they felt like saying, all with a big shit eating smile on his face and flashing the victory sign ala Nixon as if to say: "See? Everyone gets their First Amendment rights in my courtroom!". This case has been prejudiced by the media and should be moved to another district where the judge doesn't have to walk a tightrope with the Peter Lance on one side and the threat of being a First Amendment violator on the other.
Hi MIck:
Doesn't everyone who testifies in court do so under penalty of perjury? Isn't it more than a little ironic that Scott Steepleton used those words to start his story, given his own history as a witness in court cases involving his employer? Will every court story in the N-P that mentions someone testified include the words 'under penalty of perjury'? Did Angel Pacheco get the memo? Or will only witnesses in whose testimony the N-P has a stake be referred to as testifying under penalty of perjury? Putting 'under penalty of perjury' in the the lead is just another example of how the news is twisted to serve an end favorable to Team Wendy. If you asked steeplefraud about it, he would probably feign feigning feigned ignorance.
If you can afford lawyers and an expensive SUV, you can afford a cab on New Year's eve.
As for the cops, too bad there is no legitimate examination of possible corruption in the seats of power in SB. Only the corrupt leveling charges of corruption. And the angry poodle turning into a shivering freshly clipped cockapoo and begging lance to give him a break was disappointing to say the least.
this is all true, but I can't seem to get Rosie out of my mind!
