Maybe There Is Such A Thing As Free Lunch?

If a RICO case is what it takes — personally — I'd just hand over 12 bucks to a cashier.

This is the closest image we have to preparing food in a strip club.

You know what the wildest thing about the YSL trial is? Besides the RICO charges, of course. The shenanigans! This case is not the first in which a judge handed out consequences to lawyers behaving badly, nor will it be the last. But it may be one of the few times where — legally speaking — a debt was paid in wings from the booty club:

A defense lawyer in the Fulton County, Georgia, racketeering case against the Young Slime Life gang treated other lawyers in the criminal case to a lunch of chicken wings as a result of a judge’s order.

Chief Judge Ural Glanville ordered lawyer Suri Chadha Jimenez to supply lunch after holding him in contempt for being late to court last Tuesday, report the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV.

Glanville bought the wings from Magic City, described as an “iconic strip club” in Atlanta by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Although the club doesn’t open until 3 p.m., it was able to prepare lunch for Jimenez.

Can’t make this shit up, people.

The YSL case has been… unique for a plethora of reasons beside the catered lunch. It isn’t every day that you’re faced with a trial that hasn’t been able to decide on a jury after four months. Following the YSL trial debacle has been the best thing to pay attention to since before Game of Thrones ruined their last season. I’m sure you are looking forward to future developments just as much as I am.
