Follow Up to Hricik Post on Facial Prosecutorial Misconduct

Posted by Alan Childress

Over on Legal Ethics Forum, David Hricik (Mercer) had previously posted, in “Naked Prosecutors, Oh My!,“ about a Ohio prosecutor arrested for wandering around his building without legal briefs.  Apparently a prosecutor in Seattle (or two) read David’s post and determined to one-up the merely-naked Ohio prosecutor.  A post on CrimProf Blog reports (from the Seattle Times) that he (but not she) was arrested after patrons complained they were having sex in a bathroom stall at Qwest Field during a Seahawks game [editor’s commentary: eww].  He is a senior deputy prosecutor, not unlike the title held by “Jack McCoy” (Sam Waterston) in Law & Order. Because NBC producer Dick Wolf always prides himself on taking the show’s plots straight from recent headlines — and fearful that the actors including Fred Dalton Thompson are method-trained Stanislavskians who always do their research before playing a role — we at LPB are determined to simply ‘hold it’ at any future sporting event to avoid hearing that donk-donk musical cue coming out of the stall next door.
