Yesterday the show moved from federal court over to Judge Gonzalez's courtroom, where Mark Kabins was attempting to have news of his $800,000 settlement with Dr. Daniel Burkhead (the anesthesiologist Kabins tried to blame for his own malpractice) sealed.So much for that.
During his argument to seal, Spilotro stated that the outrageous coverage from Channel 8 in the Medical Mafia case has been so unfair that he would hate for the media to get their hands on the agreement. If that happened, argued Spilotro, it would surely be distorted to put his client in a poor light.
Up to bat for Kabins was local attorney John Spilotro. John is one of the nicest and most intelligent attorneys we have ever seen in practice. His morals are impeccable, and he smells very nice. If you think we're going to say anything bad about him ... fogitaboutit.
You may recognize Spilotro as one of the floats from the original March of the Morons ... though we would never intentionally insinuate that he was a moron. Did we mention how nice he smells? Like potpourri, but more manly.

That argument sounds perfectly logical to us ... we'd hate to see Kabins' impeccable reputation tarnished.
Spilotro has apparently been unhappy with Channel 8's coverage of the Medical Mafia case; he referred to George Knapp in court as "that guy who talks to little green men."
Judge Gonzalez declined to seal the case and sent Spilotro and his client back to meet with Burkhead and his attorneys to see if they could come up with a settlement that Kabins wouldn't be embarrassed by. Nice job, Betsy.
Err ... we mean, what's your problem, judge?! Don't you know a good argument when you see it? You keep fightin' that good fight, John!
(LV Now; Thanks, Tipster!)
Don't know Burkhead. Kabins is a lying sack. And he's a felon.
ReplyDeleteWas Spilotro riding a horse by chance when he was smelling all nice and manly and not like a LADY?
ReplyDeleteGood post. WWLB is getting good!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am afraid of Tony the Ant's nephew.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY _ Something written without the media's twisted bias. John is extremly brilliant, he has worked very hard to get where he is, and he is a man of character and moral fiber. Anyone that knows him, would say the same.
ReplyDeleteSeems like some, such as "FINALLY_something written without the medias twisted bias", don't get sarcasm, but then again, your post could be read as dripping with sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteSpilotro is where he his because of connections. Isn't it strange that he once defended the brother of the man who killed his uncle. Chicago still tries to keep a stranglehold on Las Vegas.
Not entirely true Chicago Thug. John may have been aided by his connections but he is also an excellent hardworking attorney.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the sarcasm and this may not have been John's finest legal argument.
