Friday Sleb Roundup

By Anne Skove, Esq.

• Pelicano Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison, Brooks Barnes, New York Times (December 15, 2008).
• The Quaids can rest easy now that their baby twins are safe and healthy. And a $750,000 settlement from the hospital that severely over-medicated the babies can't hurt. This settlement may be the beginning -- it speaks only to the parents' damages, so claims may yet be pursued on behalf of the children. See Dennis and Kimberly Quaid Settle with Cedars-Sinai, Brooks Schuelke, InjuryBoard.com (December 16, 2008). (Sorry for the one-sided cite, but Drug & Device Law blog hasn't written about this yet...)
• Madonna, Guy: Mega Divorce Settlement Inaccurate, Josh Grossberg, EOnline (December 17, 2008). For completely accurate information about the Material Mom, please refer to the Encylopedia Madonnica.
• We are happy to say that we don't know the guy who was arrested for groping Lindsay Lohan! Yes, groping plus pushing may equal misdemeanor disorderly conduct. We here at court-o-rama do not encourage this type of behavior, and our husband was nowhere near Scottsdale.
• Law & Order we love ya, but most judges from the era (not to mention possessing the thin mental capacity) portrayed by Ned Beatty in this week's episode are not hip to IM.
