SEATTLE (AP) -- The state Supreme Court on Thursday announced a two-year suspension for a lawyer caught having jailhouse sex with a triple-murder defendant she was representing.

Theresa Olson's suspension begins Friday; she must undergo a psychological evaluation before she can be reinstated.

Earlier, Olson and the state Bar Association had agreed to a one-year suspension, but the high court rejected the bar's recommendation.

In 2002, guards outside a King County Jail conference room saw Olson with her dress pulled up and her client, Sebastian Burns, standing behind her with his pants down. At the time of the encounter, Olson was 43 and married; Burns was 26.

Olson was removed from the case, and Burns was given new counsel. He was convicted last year, along with a friend, of beating the friend's sister and parents to death at their Bellevue home in 1994.

Olson's lawyer, David Allen, did not immediately return a call seeking comment after business hours Thursday.

You can see her here: http://www.trialdiary.com/rafay-burns-sex.htm

What movie did one of the characters (a cop) say of a lawyer that he could get a sodamy charge reduced to "following too close". Perhaps Burns was just following too close to Theresa.

You can also see her here:

Isn't this a nice outfit? Doesn't she look oh so pretty? She makes me all hot. Maybe she just got lucky.

He was "on top" the new contract.

"I often disagreed with President Clinton, but I thought he was technically correct," Sanders told The Associated Press on Thursday."

Sanders must be one of the election judges.

Olson for governor!!

It's amazing that two of the judges didn't think there was evidence of sexual conduct despite the compromising position witnessed by the police.

Speaking of too close ...

There's a wiseass in the building who's # 1 hobby is to quietly sneak up on people and stand there staring at them. Of course when someone turns around, most people crap their pants that someone is like 2 or 3 inches away, staring at them.

Cute, huh?

Anyway, this jokester tries pulling that crap on ME yesterday as I was standing by a fax machine (big mistake, do NOT mess with me, I will retaliate and take no prisoners).

ANYhow, I turned around, he's about 2" inches away and Mr. Recom/Stealth dude says to me "Are you starting something?"

I said: "NO.. NOT A FAMILY. You're too close. Now back off!"

Then Mr. Stealthy Stoneface started cracking up.

Q: "You just come up with that right now??"

A: "Yup."

I'm pretty sure anyone in the vicinity heard it. BTW... guys shouldn't be "that close", no way, no how. I think that's the last time he'll pull that horse^%%^t on me.

Funny dude, however.
