All this douche bag wants is his 15 minutes of fame. Possesion, there shouldn't even be a charge for that. How much was in that bowl!!
Even if a South Carolina sheriff is successful in building a marijuana case against swimming superstar Michael Phelps, it might be hard to make the charges stick, defense attorneys say.
The case took a turn Thursday when lawyers for two people said their clients were among eight arrested last week and questioned at length about the November party near the University of South Carolina where Phelps was photographed smoking from a marijuana pipe. At the time, the men were renters at the house.
The effort to prosecute Phelps on what would be at most a minor drug charge seem extreme compared to similar cases, lawyers said, and have led some to question whether the sheriff is being overzealous because hes dealing with a celebrity.
The efforts that are being made here are unlike anything Ive ever seen before, said Jack Swerling, a defense attorney in South Carolina. I know Leon Lott, I know him to be an honorable guy. Ive known him for 30 something years. But the efforts here are extraordinary on simple possession cases.
