I originally submitted this story to Fark and SomethingAwful. I made this blog post simply to be able to link to follow up posts without cluttering those sites up with this small update.

I’ve been back and forth with the reporter of a story about Joseph Genovese, the teen accused of blowing a red light while high and striking two joggers, killing one.  He posted his mugshot to Myspace alongside pictures of smoking marijuana and drinking. Numerous friends of his posted comments offering him sympathy and making light of the situation without the slightest consideration for his victims.

She emailed me yesterday to tell me that the city court reporter has stated that the preliminary hearing was continued until October 23rd.  The reasons for this may include considerations on Genovese’s prior convictions as well as awaiting the results of all of his drug tests.

So I suppose that you shouldn’t look forward to any more updates until then, and I don’t expect this to be greenlit either, but if it is, HI MOM ITS ME AGAIN!  Ugh.

In case you weren’t aware, Jack Thompson – the Florida lawyer who frequently litigates against entities which run against his conservative Christian belief system – is currently in disbarment proceedings in his home state.

Sticking to the tactics which have earned him his douchebag status, his last appeals to the better judgement of the court include hurling insults at the judge who recommended his disbarment, calling her among other things a “raving wild woman” and ”unhinged.”

He also calls for an understanding of the sheer magnitude of such an event:

“…it’s only my 31-year law career that is at stake here…”

Thank goodness for that!

A decision is expected sometime this September.
