The Case of the French Pervert

This weekend a news story broke about Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the French head of IMF who sexually assaulted a maid in New York before attempting to flee the country.  As it happens, when he was brought to the courthouse and arraigned I happened to be in the area with my parents who were visiting for the weekend.  It was a media circus!

There were press there from all across the globe and several people who just happened to be walking by that stopped to sit on benches across from the court and watch the scene unfold.

As it turns out the NYC court system runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so there were judges available immediately to arraignment.  The show Night Court was based in NYC for a reason!  As the case has unfolded it has been kind of surreal to know that I sat and watched as he was going through the court system.

I know this particular post was not long or informative, but I'm working on one hell of a post to put up this weekend so stay tuned!
