| (via Blatherwatch blog) It didn't take long, once justice got up on its feet. In the end, not even Warren Buffett could change Mike Webb's legal destiny. In a bench trial before Judge Julie Spector, the former talk host and liberal KIRO night time personality finally got a verdict and sentencing for his bungling, nearly transparent attempt to defraud Geico Insurance into paying for a car accident he'd had with an uninsured driver before he bought a policy. Prosecutor Nancy Balin called it an "attempted theft." Judge Spector said, said the evidence clearly showed that Webb "blatantly and with arrogance" defrauded the insurance company. (After his completed trial in September was declared a mistrial, after a melee in front of the courthouse that landed Webb handcuffed in a police car to a Harborview rubber room). This time, both parties agreed to a "stipulated trial, with the facts of the case presented in the original trial, and heard by Judge Spector and considered without a jury or re-calling witnesses. The prosecutor and the defense attorney, Mark Larranaga each made a statement and brief rebuttals; the judge made her judgment shortly thereafter. Her verdict: guilty as charged. "Only one person made things difficult for Mr. Webb," she said, "and that was Mr. Webb." |

| #5 OK, True confessions time: From time to time I would turn the radio on while this arrogant POS was on. It got to be my own personal little game to see how long before he would turn some listener's differing viewpoint into an 'anti-gay' attitiude. He was openly gay and would take any topic and turn it into some twisted thing. The papers' stories of the trial while in progress were a scream; everybody, except Our Hero, could see what was up. I think he got off light due to his celeb/gay status myself. |
