    I’m very upset that anyone involved with the movie “Die Hard” would have to go to prison. Truly one of my favorite movies of all time. Too bad IRL he is dumb and taps phones and lies to FBI agents…

     

    He made some awesome movies and now he’s broke… so sad.

     

    Die Hard, The Hunt For Red October, The Thomas Crown Affair, Predator..

    *edited*…pardon him on the basis of his epicness. Predator and Die Hard are in my top 10 all time favorite action films.

    This is why you never talk to the police or feds without a lawyer.

     

    The prosecutor seems especially cruel in her comments about the case. It almost seems like a personal vendetta against the guy.

    Maybe she didn’t get a part in one of his movies… or her husband left her because she kept talking every time Die Hard came on.

    The following sticks out as extremely unprofessional from a US district judge:

    Quote:

    “he has led a privileged life”

    “the worse thing that has happened in his life is getting a scholarship to Exeter prep school”

    “a prison sentence will no longer give him the ability to eat “aged cheeses, cured meats or red wine”

    “He won’t be the only depressed man in prison.” (in reference to his antidepresants not on the prison system’s list of approved meds)

    “he should receive a harsher sentence than the year recommended by prosecutors because he didn’t accept responsibility for his actions”

    Yeah I thought that was a bit unprofessional. You can be arrested for arguing with a judge in the courtroom (contempt of court) but it appears they can say whatever they want to you regardless of its relevance to the case.

    Would some of that be considered slander?

    Normally, yes, but in an odd twist of irony, judges are above the law.

    Maybe next time it will be Uwe Boll.

    MasterP you ever think about becoming a judge?

     

    i guess you’d have to become a lawyer first.

    Before graduating I had about 3 people try to get me to either switch majors or schools ;)

     

    One of them was a law professor.
