EAST ST. LOUIS METRO: PEELING BACK THE LAYERS OF A TWISTED VIEW OF WOMEN

Usually I grieve when a legal career is ruined by some kind of deviant behavior. I believe we are all frail and fallible. I make an exception in this guy's case for two reasons. First, his conduct involved a minor child. No excuses. Moreover, this fellow was a self-righteous, self proclaimed reviewer of the conduct of other attorneys. I shed no tears for him that the microscope was turned in the other direction.

Whether he knew her exact age or not, ya think it might be a bad idea for an officer of the court to take nude pictures of his wife's little sister for blackmail purposes? Is that something you'd want your Mother to find out you did? Perhaps he might have had some difficulty relating on an egalitarian basis with women. Just a guess.

Kind of funny. Just yesterday, I attended a luncheon meeting about helping lawyers with the job pressures and difficulties that crop up in our lives. There's a lot of help out there for folks who want to get better. I don't think there's a 12 step program for a bankruptcy frauder/pornographer who thinks he's doing just swell.

Rodney is right. You just can't make this stuff up.

See ya in about three decades, counselor
