CTS–Chronic Tardiness Syndrome–Sends Lawyer To Jail Without Passing Go

Reader and philosopher Patrick O’Donnell forwarded us this headline and link from his local paper, the Los Angeles Times:  Judge orders chronically late lawyer jailed in Compton.  And here is the story as seen in the online ABA Journal:  “A criminal defense lawyer with a history of tardiness and missing courtdates was tossed in jail on Monday when he showed up 35 minutes latefor court wearing a rumpled suit and no tie.”  Convenient, since you aren’t allowed a tie in jail.  But jail for two days? 

Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick (who I believe once said that he does not own a tie).  [Alan Childress]
