She denies the charges.

They should give her leniency because this was her first date with the dude.

I'm thinking she does a lot more than just drink booze.

Do you think this "attorney" would even be interested in, say, a 55 year old chubby physics professor with frizzy hair? Nope, gotta be a pseudo-young pseudo-hottie (whether she was to be paid to be his "date" or not, that's a whole nother question). I can guarantee that at the beginning of the evening his plans did not include ending the evening by giving her a peck on the cheek and letting her out at her front door.

Whole thing is an example of people who deserve each other.

This is awesome! Like a movie.

Can't you just picture the high-powered attorney cowering behind the white leather couch shrieking "NO! THAT'S AN ORIGINAL WARHOL!!" While the meth-ed out hooker with a bottle of vodka in one hand and the art in the other screams "WARHOL THIS, M-EFFER!!" And then dumps liquor on it and hucks it across the room!!

Classic!

No. I don't think he'd even be interested in an attractive 40 year old woman. (Although he is 49).


Yes, it's a perfect example of people who wind up together, even briefly, because they deserve each other.

Kill someone while driving drunk: 5-10 years prison

Destroy painting while drunk: Life in prison


Our system has some interesting priorities.

That is EXACTLY how it went down. Don't ask me how I know.

True--I think she should do time for destroying property. Not LIFE. Also, in a way, great art belongs to all of us. If someone were to destroy the Mona Lisa, a lot of people would feel cheated and angry because the arts are there for us all. Of course this idiot had the art right there on the wall for anyone to wreck or steal--so it's his fault too. Then his fault if he invited some prostitute to his place. He doesn't seem like a very responsible person.

As people are saying, they deserved each other. And he doesn't deserve to own great art...(not that I'm a fan of Warhol, but it's the idea in general.)

Her attorney claims there is more to the story and she also denies destroying the art, I can't wait to find out what plays out at the trial.
