Attorney Fired over Tweet, Sarah Peterson Herr, Faces Inquiry

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – An attorney fired over a tweet could face more punishment. Sarah Peterson Heer (photo above) with the Twitter account of sparklylillife has been fired as an Kansas Court of Appeals research attorney. Her tweets were about an ethics hearing of former Attorney General Phill Kline. Now she herself could face an ethics inquiry.

What were Sarah Peterson Herr’s Twitter comments? She reportedly wrote Why is Phil Klein (sic) smiling? There is nothing to smile about, d–bag.” The comments were later deleted.

Herr worked for a Kansas Court of Appeals at the time of her tweet. She was swiftly fired on Monday. But Herr’s matter is far from over. Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss told news yesterday that the Herr matter is now under inquiry to determine if technical violations were made by the tweets.

Kline’s attorney, Tom Condit, said that the tweets posed a bigger question for attorneys participating before the Court of Appeals. Condit questioned whether Herr’s tweets suggest something is wrong with the workplace at the Court of Appeals. Herr was a research attorney since 2011. Before that she worked for Court of Appeals Judge Christel Marquardt. Herr has issued an apology for her remarks. She has yet to comment to news about her firing.



Papa John’s Lawsuit about Text Messages Gets Class Action Certification

Papa John's Lawsuit about Text Messages Gets Class Action

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Papa John’s lawsuit is seeking customers who allegedly received unwarranted text messages. The Papa John’s class action lawsuit claims that in early 2010 the retailer allegedly sent out a half million text messages to customers who never agreed to receive texts from the company.

The Papa John’s purported conduct concerns its relationship with OnTime4U. OnTime4U, a co-defendant, allegedly provided mass text messaging to the company to target customers who bought food through their cellphones.

Two years ago, both defendants were sued and Papa Johns ended its relationship with the company. But a new lawsuit has been filed. “After I ordered from Papa John’s, my telephone started beeping with text messages advertising pizza specials,” Erin Chutich, one of the plaintiffs, said in a news statement today. “Papa John’s never asked permission to send me text message advertisements.”

The plaintiffs claim they received upwards of sixteen text messages in a row, often in the middle of the night. The case is making news for the amount of recovery being sought. Each plaintiff is seeking $500 per text and upwards of $15000 per message under certain alleged conduct.

“We have noticed text message spam is increasing in part because advertisers see it as a great way to get their material directly into the hands of customers,” plaintiffs’ attorney Donald Heyrich said in a news statement. “We hope this case keeps text message spam out of cell phones.” Caroline Oyler, Papa John’s head of legal affairs, says the case lacks merit.

Gottfrid Svartholm Warg of Pirate Bay to Be Deported


ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Gottfrid Svartholm Warg of the Pirate Bay will be deported. Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, currently in Phnom Penh has been arrested. But in a news briefing today, local officials confirm that Warg, 27, will be deported.

Phnom Penh officials in Cambodia tell news today that they have arrested a co-founder of the Pirate Bay. They report that they have received a deportation request from Sweden. But they have yet accepted it.

Police spokesman Kirth Chantharith tells news in a briefing today that officials will deport Warg. But Chantharith reports that officials have yet to decide to which country he will be sent.

Chantharith says that Cambodia won’t make the decision. Rather he says that is being left to Sweden to determine. Local news reports claims that Warg had been living in Phnom Penh for roughly four years.

In 2009 he was sentenced to one year in prison by a Swedish court. The case then went up through Swedish appeals courts.

“We just know we will deport him. As to which country, that would be up to the Swedish side,” Chantharith said in a news statement today. Warg has yet to comment about today’s developments.

Serial Groper, Kenneth Sands, Loses Coffee Defense in Seattle

Serial Groper, Kenneth Sands, Loses Coffee Defense in Seattle


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Serial groper, Kenneth Sands, lost a coffee defense in his Seattle criminal case this week. Kenneth Sands was convicted previously of acts against women and high school volleyball players. But during his sentencing, Kenneth Sands attempted to blame his crimes on his cup of coffee. The Seattle court didn’t swallow the claim.

Kenneth Sands claimed that his local Seattle coffee drove him to psychotic episodes that led to his crimes. So why did he become a convicted serial groper? He told the court it was because of his Seattle coffee.

“That caused a psychotic episode. My son-in-law and daughter had never seen that kind of behavior from myself”, the Court was told. But the Court didn’t believe the claim.

Dr Martin Blinder, who was involved in the Twinkie defense in the Dan White trial of 1979, told ABC that he has never heard of caffeine causing a person to act this way. “We have no evidence that coffee is harmful. In fact, there is some evidence that drinking it in one’s old age can assist in some Alzheimer’s cases.”

At sentencing, the Court ordered Sands to serve thirty days for each of his five convicted counts.

One of his victims’ wrote a letter which was read in open court this week. In it, she said “Ken left me with nightmares that would leave me sleepless for nights, afraid to fall asleep. I’ve had dreams of him hurting me and my family in violent ways over and over again.”

Gore-Tex Heiress Can’t Adopt Ex Husband, Susan Gore Denied Claim

Gore-Tex Heiress Can't Adopt Ex Husband, Susan Gore Denied Claim


ST LOUIS (LALATE) – A Gore-Tex heiress can’t adopt her ex-husband to increase her family’s inheritance stake, a Delaware court ruled Tuesday. The bizarre Gore-Tex heiress adoption case started nearly a decade ago. But this week, the Delaware’s Supreme Court told news that it was going to invalidate the nearly decade old attempt to change inheritance shares by adopting  a former husband.

More than ten years ago, Susan Gore made news, adopting her ex-husband Jan Otto. But a court ruled this week that Susan Gore’s reason for adopting her former husband was to increase her family’s inheritance stake. The court ruled the attempt invalid.

In 1958, Wilbert L. Gore founded W.L. Gore & Associates Inc of Newark. Years later, the company grew to $3 billion in annual revenues. After the death of Gore and wife Vieve, a dispute around about how to divide the inheritance. The inheritance was to be split equally among the grandchildren.

At issue were 26,500 Gore shares. Mr. Gore had five children including Susan. Each of those children had four kids, with the exception of Susan who had three.

Under the will, because Susan Gore had three kids, not four, Susan’s family stood to inherit less of the shares than her siblings who each had four children. So Susan adopted her ex-husband a decade ago, Jan, so that her family would inherit the same portion as the rest of the family’s heirs.

But on Tuesday, the court said it was not going to allow that attempt. Following news of the court ruling, none of the Gores had further comment. The decision was delivered in a stunning thirty-seven page ruling by Chief Justice Myron Steele on Tuesday.
