Are the Lawyers for Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild the Happiest Lawyers Ever?


Fox News - Lawyers representing “Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis and attorneys for four women suing Francis were asked by a federal judge to review sexually graphic footage in the case, the News Herald reports.Smoak reportedly requested that lawyers representing Francis and the women review footage of Plaintiff B, filmed during spring break in 2002. The attorneys gathered Monday night to watch the footage, according to the newspaper.

These guys are the happiest lawyers in South Florida, right?  I'd say so.  Not only do you know they're being paid handsomely, representing a multimillionaire with a lot to lose, but now they're being forced to get together and watch nudy videos as preparation for their case.

Exactly how long do you think the judge had to negotiate with the defense and prosecutors to put aside some time outside of work to watch these videos? About 3.5 seconds?  Like as soon as the prosecutor heard the idea he was saying "I'll get the pizza, you get the beer" to the defense attourneys?

Is TruTv (formerly Court TV) covering this case?  I'm sure March Madness was a huge boost to their ratings but I think in court cameras for this trial would officially put them on the map.  Knock Spike TV right out of contention for that coveted 24-49 Male demographic.
