Although I don't often find a lot of relevant legal fodder from my Entertainment Weekly (hey, we all de-stress in our own ways), I had to laugh at this blurb:
Seven of the new Dancing with the Stars contestants have rap sheets. Live audience will consist solely of lawyers, parole officers, and Sonia Sotomayor.
On a (slightly) more serious note, more information about the many charges brought against the new round of celebrities can be found here. Pictured above is Tom DeLay, the former Republican Majority Leader who was indicted by a Texas grand jury on criminal charges that he had conspired to violate campaign finance laws. DeLay pleaded not guilty, but Republicans Conference rules forced him to resign from his position as Majority Leader in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Perhaps DeLay's troubled past was actually fate--now he can realize his lifelong dream of winning a televised ballroom dance competition.
