Larry Johnson settles drink-spitting suit for $100,000
Sorry if repost as I didn't see it in the first 4 pages. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...t-a-fair-jury/ Former Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is being sued in Kansas City by a woman who says he spat on her in a bar. But Johnson says he needs to move the trial out of Kansas City because it would be impossible to find 12 people there who don’t despise him. Johnson’s lawyer, Jack T. Bangert, told a judge Wednesday that folks in Kansas City hate his client with such a passion that he could never get a trial in front of an impartial jury there. “If we can’t get a change of venue in this case, it is insurmountable,” Bangert said. “We want to go anywhere but here.” Bangert showed the judge newspaper articles, web posts and affidavits from two talk-show hosts, all attesting to how much Chiefs fans hate Johnson. However, the plaintiff’s lawyer says those concerns are overblown, and that Johnson isn’t as famous (or infamous) in Kansas City as he thinks he is. “We all know people in Kansas City who are not Chiefs fans who have never heard of Larry Johnson,” lawyer Charles Speer said. The judge will rule later on whether Johnson is really so despised in Kansas City that the case has to be moved elsewhere. Last edited by Kerberos; 04-15-2011 at 07:20 PM.. |

Lawyer: "And do you Mr. McHaggis, feel you are without predisposition that would result in a lack of impartiality towards my client, Larry Johnson?"
Me: "Larry Johnson? Never heard of the man."

How long was he in the hospital for this? Oh that's right, he never spent one minute in the hospital for his "injury". |

I'm 99% certain it was yours Nut.... the lawyer likely looked at your LJ posts and said "Damn... now there's a level of hatred I didn't even know existed."

Dude, as much time as you spend on "Larrys Johnson," I hope you have a heavy duty pair of these, or your knees are going to be toast.

Again, I am not allowed to talk about that.
As you can see they are starting to get mad again, they have already changed my name. |

Nope. Not as a greeting.
Only as a Farewell.
