Jacobson Says He's Innocent

2008_6_20.thosearesomedrunkeyeswalter.jpg

Following his DUI arrest, Walter Jacobson told the Trib that "I believe, and my attorney believes, that I am innocent."

According to Jacobson's attorney, "Our investigation to this point shows that Walter hasn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident. He wasn't driving a car while under the influence." Oh, Skippy. [Trib, S-T]

I like how the attorney says:

"Our investigation to this point shows that Walter hasn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident. He wasn't driving a car while under the influence."

with the subtle implication of this:

"Our investigation to this point shows that Walter hasn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident therefore, he wasn't driving a car while under the influence and even if he was, who cares because he didn't hit anybody and didn't cause any accident."

Nice!

Great translation, L Stolpman, though, of course, innocent until proven guilty, even for TV sleazebags.

I'd say the combination of a BAC of .092, a fucked up front bumper that corroborates the eyewitness account of a crash, a prior record of the same crime, and an eyes-glassy-as-fuck mugshot is enough proof of his guilt for me. Case closed.

I think they're going to go for "you can't prove he was driving." He wasn't in the car at the time of the arrest.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who works in the media. There have been all kinds of stories of his drinking problems for ages.

Uh, that photo sure doesn't show that he's innocent.

It shows that he is DEMOLISHED. Look at those eyes!

When will local or national celebrities, hollywood, local news, sports stars or otherwise learn to fucking take a cab or hire a driver. Jesus, they've got the money.

Man I don;t wanna get old!

way to lead by example and accept responsibility for your actions, walt.

lay off the guy. he was doing an investigative piece on GTAIV.

Actually I wonder what his drink of choice is?
I'm sure he will be having it tonight!

Laws are for suckers. They don't apply to big shots like Walter.

When you're young, you have to worry about getting caught drinking by your parents...and when you grow up, you have to worry about your parents drinking and driving.

The worry never ends.

Im sure he police just arrested walter for no reason.

This guy use to be the voice of FOX Chicago, when I was growing up he's a good man.
