Lawyer Denies Foo Fighting
The case of did-the-restaurateur cause-a-miscarriage has gotten a little sticker in the past few days. As you probably heard, chef/restaurateur Susanna Foo was arrested Friday night and charged with assaulting a meter maid and related offenses. Later that weekend, the officer had a miscarriage. The Inquirer came forth with a story saying, uh, it’d be pretty hard to cause a miscarriage. (Then the Inky referenced the Siege of Leningrad, to make sure the point sunk in.) Yesterday, Foo’s preliminary hearing was delayed until Nov. 20. Foo’s lawyer, Richard DeSipio, said his client never hit anyone, even coming so far as saying the woman is just looking for some cash. The defense, though, has nine eyewitnesses prepared to testify that Foo never hit Juanita Lewis, the PPA worker. Dun dun dun! More on this as it develops — and by “as it develops,” I mean “next month.” Foo’s Lawyer: Officer Claiming Injury Wants Money [NBC 10] |

Damn, I thought I beat the Ink to the punch, but apparently they said it a few hours before I did. That’ll teach me to not read our local newspaper*.
