Not Your Average Legal Secretary
We commend secretaries who don’t just cover the phones, but show some initiative and entrepreneurial spirit. From the Chicago Tribune:
A receptionist for the Cook County public defender’s office accepted delivery of almost 40 pounds of marijuana at her Loop office, prosecutors alleged Wednesday.At her bond hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said Lamour Holloway, 40, accompanied by two children, carted the drugs to her husband as he waited in a car behind the Cook County Administration Building at 69 W. Washington St….
“I think it’s clear that not only is she committing a crime by accepting a package containing cannabis using the mail service, but as a public employee there is a sense of trust,” said Assistant State’s Atty Anna Demacopoulos. “She is an employee of the public defender’s office, working in a public building, and she violated the sanctity of that public building.”
Oh please. It’s not like she worked in the prosecutor’s office; she worked for the PD. If she wants to walk a mile in the shoes of a criminal defendant, like the ones her office represents, what’s wrong with that?

First Bitches!
Teddy Bear Named Mohammed is very pleased with First.
4th!!! Don't be jealous...
The "sanctity of that public building"? This is Cook County we're talking about, right?
You know that couldn't have been the most obvious violation of the public trust that occurred at that location that day.
AWESOME
I go to a good school (Hofstra) so i'm pretty much set with marijuana ;)
The more prestigious spelling is "marihuana." See, e.g. Leary v. U.S., 395 U.S. 6 (1969).
The Cook County Administration Building has all the "sanctity" of an outhouse. Seriously.
I guess the Public Defender is gonna be conflicted out of this one, eh?
6:22 - Having worked at that building as an officer of the court, I can confirm there is nothing sanctified about it. Good for some serious people watching tough.
whatever, make the state give it back...thats a lot of weed.
wow - weed all over the ATL boards today. that's good, everyone on here needs to just chill a little bit
In my state the police would have to return it to her. Also, I need a good secretary, so if anyone's got this broad's number...
'Lamour Holloway' says it all.
(As if that is his/her real name.)
That's what I was getting my secretary for a bonus. Damn, gotta think now.
She obviously isn't a shirt tale. A shirt tale is cute, cuddly and very stealthy, and would use her magic shirt to make the pot disappear when necessary.
who narc-ed on her? what crap.
Hiring at public defenders' offices are sad. They don't they weed out job candidates any more.
40lbs!!!! OMG!
why aren't biglaw secretaries this cool?
"Oh please. It's not like she worked in the prosecutor's office; she worked for the PD."
Exactly. She probably only kept it on the DL because her colleagues would've asked her to share.
new york to 40 lbs!!
I wouldn't expect any less from someone at the public pretender's office....bunch of clowns!!
