Lawyer of the Day: There's Something About Mary
San Antonio lawyer Mary Roberts is attractive, enterprising, and creative. She knows how to think outside the box.
These qualities make her a shoo-in for Lawyer of the Day. From WOAI.com:
A San Antonio attorney is on trial, accused of stealing money from her lovers. Prosecutors say Mary Roberts would have affairs with men. Then her husband would extort money from them.Ted Roberts was convicted and sentenced to 5 years for extorting $155,000 from four men. He's appealing his conviction.This week, it's Mary Roberts turn to face a jury.
Her past was relived during opening statements as the prosecutor described the affairs Mary Roberts had, the men she had them with, and how those affairs ended. The prosecutor explained that one man wrote a $70,000 check to the Roberts Foundation for Children. Prosecutors said it's all a sex scandal both Ted and Mary Roberts were in on.
Is your marriage in the doldrums? Perhaps you and your spouse should start a sex-and-extortion scam together, to rejuvenate your marital union:
The first person to take the stand Monday was Ted Roberts' legal assistant. She told the court, "Before [the alleged plot began began], there was just very little interaction. Um, just rarely saw Mary in the office. And once all of this came about, um...Just, all of a sudden, they were much more, I guess, lovey-dovey. They just became a lot closer."
Watch video footage of the trial here. Both the prosecutor and the legal assistant are highly attractive, in a C-list actress sort of way. Casting the made-for-TV movie will be a cinch.

Sextortion scams to 190k and a ham sandwich!
Attractive how? She looks pretty damn frightful in that picture.
guys from my fat camp used to have THIRDS all the time. it was no big deal.
sounds like a movie script....oh, wait. It is. At least be original.
Only $155,000 from 4 men? That is so TTTT!
I WIN (technically, anyway)!
Re: her attractiveness - she has to have something going for, if she could get four men to have affairs with her.
"she has to have something going for, if she could get four men to have affairs with her."
It's called having a vagina.
Juicy details?
First
I bet they went to law school at St. Mary's.
11:13 = clueless girl
11:19 = informed guy
Don't forget kids, beauty is on the inside...hee-hee.
11:06 - gay guys tend to do that.
Were these guys she was extorting married? Otherwise, why the hell would they pay the money? There seems to be a missing fact here. Details, Lat, details!
Do associates bill for the time they spend on this blog?
no, but partners do
11:35 - You are a genius. You must be on law review. Wait, are you Perry Mason?
OK Lat,
Seriously, if you keep this up I'm going to kick you square in the nuts. I understand that you're not into women, but really, there is nothing remotely attractive about this hag. Perhaps she's cute for a guy but for a woman, there is little to be desired.

WOW, my six yr old son could infer that the guys that paid were married or seriously involved... You should be violently assaulted and immediatley kicked out of school.
I would do the prosecutor and the legal assistant in a heart beat. Lat is spot on with that call. The defendant, not so much.
from that picture she's not worth $70 grand. what a stupid way for a fourth year to spend their bonus...
Kind of similar to that movie "Derailed" with Clive Owen
Dudes, he said the prosecutor and the legal assistant were attractive, not the defendant. Work on your reading comprehension.
12:13 needs to work on his reading comprehension skills.
If I ever screwed someone as ugly as her, I'd probably pay out the ass to cover it up too.
12:13, you're an idiot. Re-read the first line of this article.
"Perhaps she's cute for a guy but for a woman, there is little to be desired."
Little to be desired means that she has it going on. *Much* to be desired means she's unattractive.
RE: 12:13
I love it when some one tries to correct others and totally makes an ass of him/herself. Sweeeeeet.
Seriously, I hate you guys.
Women from TTT law schools extort guys for money all the time, it was no big deal
Mary Roberts - St Mary's Law School c/o 93
I think the call from a couple of days ago on that McDermott partner being attractive was even more egregious.
Seriously, San Antonio lawyer Mary Roberts is an attractive woman. For me to poop on!
Sorry, guys, I'm looking for a little bit more here. There are other reasons why a married woman might be able to extort someone she's having an affair with, other than the extortee being married--any kind of politician, even if single, would be embarrassed by having an affair with a married woman; a religious official would be similarly embarrassed; and someone could be into some really kinky stuff that they just do not want others to know about. Any of these would have made this a much more interesting story.
i'd pay good money to have sex with that prosecutor.
11:19 - best...comment...ever
I would get lovey-dovey with the prosecutor and the legal assistant, at the same time or separately. And YES, they are hot...11:06 might need my glasses
I recant my earlier comment about 11:06. He/She was commenting on the Lat's comment about the hot (not so much) lawyer who was ilking the guys after the affairs. I stand (or sit) corrected.
