Did you hear the one about the lady lawyer who had sex with the strapping male cop?
She's suing the police force for performance issues.
Really.
The lawyer, Margita Dornay, is suing along with her cuckolded spouse who, it turns out, is a lawyer, too.
The couple say the cop, Dave Hick, was violent, made threats against them and was a ticking time bomb.
So, naturally, the suit, which was filed the other day, focuses on the party most responsible: the cop's bosses.
Laughing yet?
Hick's bosses at the King County Sheriff's Office should have known he was trouble. They should have performed professionally by reining him in, getting him to behave. That's the gist of the complaint before the King County Superior Court.
The suit fails to mention how Dornay met Hick and, whoopee, before you knew it they were doing what consenting adults do.
The suit doesn't talk about the lady lawyer and the cop getting personal cell phones so they could volley secret "I love you very much" messages. Or how the lovebirds would hook up for steamy couplings in feather-bedded nests twice a week.
Or how Hick gave Dornay a gun for protection after she got threats from a defendant she prosecuted.
Or even how their love was so thick that Dornay asked her lawyer husband to move out.
Dornay bought Hick a card for his birthday. Hick got Dornay a $5,000 horse named Tin Tin for Christmas. Hick became so love struck he revised his will, bequeathing a six-figure sum to his paramour.
None of this shows up in the suit, which is silent about something else that speaks volumes: Dornay voluntarily went under oath to help Hick in a child custody dispute with his ex.
Oh -- that's why she's now in big trouble, because of what she said at that time.
Dornay claimed she'd never seen her lover enraged or ranting. She said the guy was gentle.
She sounded a different tune a few short months later. Hick, she said, did rage and rant. He did force her to engage in sex. She wanted a permanent restraining order.
When she switched her story, this galling point stuck out: She alleged Hick was acting violent around the time of the custody matter -- the same time she had originally said he was a saint.
Oops.
Legal eagles believe her "oops" to be something else -- knowing creation of a false statement.
That's why a state Bar Association hearing officer is recommending a two-month suspension of Dornay's license. The matter goes before a disciplinary board this month.
Dornay has an explanation. Lawyers often do.
She says she feared her lover might blow up if she told the truth the first time. OK, "good guys" have been known to become raging Hulks behind closed doors. There was the time when Dornay and Hick were at a hotel and they got in a fight. She ended up calling hotel security. Later, Hick allegedly told her: "You betrayed me. If you betray me ... I'll (expletive) kill you."
But if a person tells a big, fat fib once -- as Dornay did -- who is to say when and where the fibbing will end?
And for a whip-smart lawyer to mislead under oath seems patently unethical.
Is Dornay's suit full of holes?
I'd say so, but the legal system will ultimately have to decide.
The whole shebang is like a barroom joke.
The cheating lady lawyer is looking for cash to deal with the pain and suffering, humiliation and embarrassment. The lover cop, who no longer works for the department, is diving for cover. The Kenmore precinct and top brass -- including former King County Sheriff Dave Reichert -- are sitting in crosshairs.
If this frivolous complaint prevails in court, if Dornay gets money for the bed of woe she had a hand in making, we, the taxpayers, will pay.
The joke's on us as the lady lawyer laughs all the way to the bank. All of a sudden the whole thing doesn't sound so funny.
shouldn't the cop be suing them tarnishing his reputation for having slept with a lawyer?
---severe case of inbreeding among officers of the court. I gotta go rest. My side hurtz.
Not TWO WHOLE MONTHS! How insufferably harsh and cruel. Boy, nobody reprimands their own more strictly than the bar! I feel proud to have so much of this country's welfare in the hands of such a noble cadre.
How much does this guy earn as a cop?
But can she make it stand up in court?
reverse the first letters and the guy's neame is "Have Dick" ???
Gimme a break - you just can't make this stuff up !!!!
Women! They get horny, do something stupid - and then do they say: "Oh, cripes, I did something stupid!"
Oh, no. They NEVER do that.
It's ALWAYS the man's fault.
so the woman lawyer is blaming the man. what .... a ..... surprise.
