The limelight beckons!

Some of us have received a most interesting e-mail which seems to be on the up-and-up. With the sender's permission, I'm passing along her proposition:

Dear Skelly:

I am a producer at a New York production company, Stick Figure Productions. We are developing a new television series for Court TV. We are looking for cases for which we will provide - for free -­ the legal services of a renowned defense attorney in exchange for participation in our show. In terms of the case, we are open to different scenarios; our only stipulation is that it not be rape or murder. The case could be criminal or civil ­ it could be a clear case of injustice, or more in the gray zone. The case was (sic) already have a lawyer working on it or it can be unassigned.

Our company's website will give you a sense of the kind of programming we do. We are not 'reality TV' producers: ­ this series for Court TV will be all documentary footage and will in effect showcase the towns and townspeople where the case is taking place, as well as follow a case from start to finish.

If your office is interested in working with us, you can reach me at 212/277-3600.

Many thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.

Mikaela Beardsley

Intriguing, no? And who might the renowned defense lawyer be? Anyone out there have a likely case that's ready for prime time? How 'bout you, O.W.? An Alaska crime story would be cool. Or Texas, Texas always has plenty of tales of injustice. What about SoCal: are you in, Dude?
