Looking for Larry
The Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News must have had a competition for the best Larry Charles headline.
Charles is the Philadelphia lawyer who was found naked with a 14 year old girl in a conference room at the Criminal Justice Center on Martin Luther King's day, as I wrote about in A Whole New Meaning.
The Inky's , Police on lookout for other assault victims of lawyer, is priceless. I could envision a line of people queuing outside the police station to complaint about bad encounters with lawyers.
The Daily News's version, Alleged perv lawyer returns and courthouse is abuzz, is pure Daily News -- "perv lawyer" says it all!
While I think the Inquirer's headline is the winner, the Daily News' column definitely takes the prize:
Larry Charles returned to the scene of the alleged crime yesterday.
This time, sheriff's deputies said, he was wearing clothes. A suit and tie, to be exact.
Less than a week after sheriff's deputies say they caught Charles buck-naked with a 14-year-old girl inside the Criminal Justice Center, the shamed defense attorney was back representing clients.

Charles' courthouse appearance set off a buzz as everyone from clerks to cops phoned each other to report "Larry sightings." Even janitors were atwitter.

Looking for Larry became something of a sport as the morning wore on. Another sheriff's deputy who got tipped off rushed to Room 705 for a sneak peek, only to be disappointed.
"I was told he was here," he said. "I missed him."
