From the wacky world of PR: Yesterday I received an email asking if I would like to interview “noted criminal attorney” Scott E. Leemon. Who? Does he also compose string quartets? No, the talented Mr. Leemon, it seems, “obtained a dismissal of all charges against rapper Young Jeezy in a multiple possession of weapons…and spearheaded the successful defense of rapper Young Buck of G-Unit who was charged with assault for the televised stabbing at the 2004 Vibe Awards.” Clever guy. Just doing my fourth-estate duty and passing on the rec’ for the next time you find yourself in a similar snafu.
