Snakes in a MFKN Courthouse

Every so often someone descends from the large intestine of celebrity into the bowels of the judicial system, and today in Athens was no different. Samuel L. Jackson, star of about half of the movies you've ever seen, was in court in support of a distressed relative this morning. In keeping with the tradition of every action star sighting in history, it is my duty to point out that he was not as big as I thought he'd be. Clad in a dapper seersucker suit and minus any gaudy accessories (although I didn't get a look at his wallet) he blended in surprisingly well for a guy whose made millions by screaming. Under different circumstances, SLJ would be the kind of guy you'd love to get to shout some line into your cell phone to record for posterity, but today was not that day. Almost to ironically to be believed, the dispute that landed his cousin in hot water began in a basketball game at the Ramsey Center, when another player felt that the cousin was giving out a little too much instruction said, "Alright Coach Carter, let's just play." Sentencing in the case was deferred until August and courtroom regulars are certainly hoping that will lead to a sequel.
