Are You Having a Laugh Lerach?

Monday, February 11, 2008 4:40 PM - By David Lat

Infamous plaintiffs lawyer Bill Lerach just got sentenced for his role in the Milberg Weiss kickback scheme. He got the highest sentence possible under the plea agreement, which was also the sentence sought by the government: 24 months imprisonment. For more, see links below.

Random resemblance of the day: Bill Lerach and Ricky Gervais’s character-within-a-character on “Extras.” Compare this (photo accompanying story) with this (short video clip, “Are You Having a Laugh?”).
