My Day in Court with Marilyn Manson
Okay, so Marilyn (aka Brian Warner) did not show up, but his lawyers did. I'm sure he and every other celebrity gets sued every day of the week. In this case, two guys said that Manson's bodyguard accosted them, made one erase his videotape, and took the videotape of the other. It would have been nice if they had some evidence. You know maybe I could believe a security guard grabbed one of them and pushed them back inside the venue. But all they had was Manson's bodyguard saying his name on the audio portion of the tape -- the picture is too dark to discern anything. Doesn't mean he's the guy that did the pushing. And did they bother to bring in the police report? How hard is it to get a copy? Nope, nada. I can understand they didn't file one because they didn't know anyone's name. That is plausible, so why not tell the truth? When you start lying, it's hard to believe everything else. So the case took all of two days and we took all of two hours to decide. I think it took longer for the judge to get the paperwork to us. It was a nice change of pace from work, but, please people, if you want to sue someone, have a shred of evidence.
