...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
And in the "aren't there too many lawyers already?" department, we have this story:
An assistant Broward County public defender who was forced to quit after charges of sexual misbehavior was cleared, reinstated and promoted on Monday.Promoted!
Jayme Cassidy, who was forced to quit Nov. 28 by former Public Defender Alan Schreiber, was rehired on the first workday of new Public Defender Howard Finkelstein.Well if a lawyer's gonna dance nude, where better to do it than at a conference on sex cases?. . .
She was accused by Schreiber of harassing two male lawyers in the office, slapping a private lawyer at a Halloween party and dancing nude at a conference on sex cases in Orlando.
Finkelstein said Cassidy never danced nude but may have acted inappropriately on other occasions. He said any incidents happened outside the office and did not meet the definition of sexual harassment or creating a hostile workplace.Or could it be that her marriage broke up because of her behavior? Just a thought.He blamed Cassidy's misbehavior on the breakup of her marriage.
Hey, it was outside the workplace! Give her a break! Sheesh! It's not like law is a f***ing profession or something!

Posted by: Casca on Jan. 5, 2005Yeesh is right, but then again, it does make Chris Rock's point: it's only sexual harassment if an ugly guy/girl does it.
