Cleavage crazed criminal..

Newsflash: Straight Guys Like Boobs.

"There was a lot of porn on his computer - all young women," an investigator told the Daily News. "Lots of crotch and cleavage shots."

I'm shocked - SHOCKED! - to find that crotch and cleavage shots are in a porn collection.

Seems to be some investigation going on as to the ages of the ladies appearing in the collection. Surely he's not so stupid as to keep porno pics of underage peeps on his work computer, even if he's creepy enough to have them at all.

Gibbons raised eyebrows with romance with Legal Aid lawyer Jeanne Emhoff.

On the plus side, at least he's got plenty of room to raise them in.

right,

Yes, , but not at work.

So I suppose his wife wouldn't let him keep that stuff on the home PC and he didn't have the balls to stand up to her? That's about the only explanation I can fathom for how supposedly intelligent men keep getting busted for this sort of thing. So stupid.

The article does not state that he was married. It mentions that he has a new baby by a woman with whom he has (or had) a relationship, and was actually on paternity leave when his stash was discovered. There's no mention of whether or not he lives with the child's mother.

At any rate, he's an idiot. If you don't want anyone to find your porn or anything else you want to keep private, buy a small portable something and put it on there and just keep it with you. It's not like easy, private access to digital info requires someone to lug around a whole computer, not even a laptop. Portable drives are your friend!

Or, you know, do it on your own time, not work time...

I didn't read the linked article here, but I read another one somewhere else, which said he had a mother-in-law. Ergo, married.

I'm definitely all for keeping work and play separate, and portable drives are a good way to do that.

You're a lawyer and that's the only explanation you can come up with?
How about this - supposedly intelligent men get busted for porn for the same reason they accidentally beget children or blow hundreds of dollars at strip clubs or get married to floozies in Vegas: they're guys, and two heads are not necessarily better than one. I think there's more truth to that than any other explanation.

Granted, lawyers aren't known for telling the truth, so there's got to be some kind of difficult-to-quantify psychosexual disorder out there that could be used in his defense. He's not an irresponsible pervert (read, guy) who happens to also be a fool, he's disabled, so nobody can accuse him of anything. It makes even more sense in the context of the rest of his career.

Put a little effort into this stuff, will ya'?

I may be a lawyer, but I'm also a libertarian, and I'm not inclined to make excuses for anyone. Personal responsibility and all that. But my inner lawyer will still look for motives (and means, and opportunity) when a person is accused of malfeasance.

But no, I don't think "being male" is a better explanation, because said male can still please both his heads by loading up the home PC. There really isn't any need to look at that stuff at work unless it's the only place you feel you can.

Why keep the stuff on your computer anyway? All you need is a net connection and you've got acess to all could want and more? Private browsing settings anyone? He deserves to be whacked cos hes too dumb to not keep the stuff hanging about where it can be found.

An honest lawyer. And here I thought I was going to start a trend once I could enter the profession. Well said, sir. Well said.

Still, I'm confused. I'll elaborate below.

Good point, but it doesn't explain away the "disability" hypothesis. Your attitude is decidedly prosecutorial. Innocent until proven guilty, no? And there are so many ways one can be innocent. Unless I miss my guess there are any number of psychologists/psychyatrists who would readily attribute such behaviour to some kind of uncontrollable behaviour maladjustment. They certainly have on many previous occasions. Why not now? How do you fight that? Where is the criminal intent? How do you, as an attorney, distinguish impaired behaviour from the behaviour of a rational and intelligent liar? Does it come with experience? Does that experience translate into a case made before a jury? As happens so often in my classwork, I'm a bit lost.

Furthermore, the judge resigned once the allegations were made public. Does this indicate that he knew he did something wrong and has a good sense of justice or that he is a weasel trying to escape retribution? I honestly have no idea. Given the former, there's a great case to be made for a disability, provided the judge goes along with it, or that it is the truth to begin with.

Of course, this isn't really a legal issue at the moment, but I'm completely befuddled, and your opinion doesn't clarify much. No offense intended, but I just don't get it. How would you prosecute this case? How would you defend it? Would you give the guy the benefit of the doubt, or kick him out? What does either response say about you as an attorney? Once again, I'm lost.
