Astronaut in Diapers: A Dirty Lie?

There are words you hope never to have to use in a legal representation, and surely many of them involve attire for the nether regions. To “thong” and “codpiece,” we can certainly add “diaper.” The attorney for Lisa Nowak, the country’s most notorious amorous astronaut, had to do just that, however, as he denied one of the most salacious tidbits of that sordid scandal:

“The biggest lie in this preposterous tale that has been told is that my client drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, nonstop, wearing a diaper,” Donald Lykkebak said after filing motions to suppress evidence in Nowak’s criminal case. “That is an absolute fabrication.”
There were toddler-size diapers in her car when she was arrested, but they were several years old, Lykkebak said. Nowak and her family had used them when Houston was evacuated in 2005 during Hurricane Rita, he said. Lykkebak didn’t say why he waited until now to dispute the police report.

So when he said that “Nowak and her family had used them,” did he mean that they had really, like, used them? We’re still confused, but in any event, our heart goes out to Mr. Lykkebak for even having to address this.
