You Can Dance if You Want To: An Interview With Billy Elliot’s Tommy Batchelor
Anthony Abbate's lawyer is seeking a gag order to ban lawyers and witnesses from speaking about the case, saying all the publicity makes it hard for his client to get a fair trial. The ex-cop is facing 15 felony charges for beating Karolina Obrycka, a female bartender, in an infamous incident caught on tape and widely circulated. The judge in the case will hold a hearing May 12 to decide. [Trib, ABC 7]

i'd say the video of him beating up a defenseless bartender is what's going to hurt him more than people talking about it.
FUCK I was going to say the exact same thing. Snark theft.
You're all going to be eating your words when, at the climax of a long and dramatic trial, Abbate's lawyer reveals that the honest, thrifty and brave officer has...dun dun DUN...An Evil Twin!
Yes, Antonio Abatte is the hulking lug in the notorious video. Sadly, Antonio has been returned to the evil alternate dimension from which he sprang, the same one that gave us Evil Bearded Spock on star trek, and cannot stand trial for his crimes.
Mayor Daley and Jody Weiss resign in disgrace over this miscarriage of justice. Mark my words.
Come on people... that video prooves NOTHING! It's OBVIOUSLY not him....there must be some logical expla-----LOL...
Sorry, I couldn't do it with a straight face, I can't imagine how his lawyer will.
I think AlbanyParkist is right! I just watched that episode last night on You Yube!
And people say I miss out not having a TV!
I would like to see Abbatte wearing a ball gag and being violated ala pulp fiction. But you damn liberals want to have a trial first.
We can't do that, Fed. Not because we're Americans, and should be held to a higher standard, but because we gotta wait for Zed.
Just more of the typical Chicago PD mindset. It's not the CRIME committed by a cop that's the problem, it's TALKING about it that's a problem.
You never see a cop say, "Cops should stop hitting women!" Instead, you see cops saying, "Stop playing that video!"
It's positively Stalinesque.

You mean the R. Kelly defense?
