Update: 'Trashed' Lawyer Larry Wilder Resigns

Indiana attorney Larry Wilder was honored with an ATL Lawyer of the Day mention last week thanks to the photo at right. It’s not a stock photo. That’s Wilder on a Wednesday morning, after a raucous night on the town.
That photo going viral has led Wilder to resign his lucrative job with the Jeffersonville City Council. Wilder had been the city’s highest paid attorney — raking in $107,000 from the city or four times that being made by the other five city attorneys — in addition to his private practice work.
From the Courier-Journal:

Larry Wilder, the embattled lawyer for the Jeffersonville City Council, has resigned following the release of photographs of him sleeping in a garbage can after a night of drinking.
“I felt that the best thing for my friends was to eliminate this as on-going angst,” Wilder said.

Wilder may be freeing himself up for a case against the Jeffersonville City Police Department. The photos were taken by one officer and released to the news media by another officer, even though Wilder was never charged. But as one ATL commenter observed last week:

I finally understand why there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy in one’s trash.
