California - Lawyer falls to death at hotel - Police suspect Paul Sanford committed suicide
Monterey Herald ^ | December 28, 2006 | JULIA REYNOLDS

Excerpt -

In what police describe as a "probable" suicide leap, a prominent Monterey Bay Area attorney fell at least nine floors to his death at the Embassy Suites Hotel Monterey Bay in Seaside the morning before Christmas.

Shortly before 9:30 a.m. Sunday, officers found the body of Aptos attorney Paul Sanford in the west end of the hotel lobby, where he had landed on a large ventilation grate.

Police Capt. Steve Cercone said horrified guests were eating breakfast in the atrium at the time, and a number of witnesses saw Sanford fall from somewhere between the 9th and 12th floors.

"I'm at a loss for words," said Sanford's friend and business associate, Monterey attorney Shawn Mills. "Paul really had his fingers in a lot of different pies. He was from the East Coast, and I used to call him our 'West Coast Kennedy.'"

>>> [Sanford]...the first reporter to ask then-White House press secretary Scott McClellan whether the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's name might be considered an act of treason. <<<

Maybe he was despondent that Joe and Valerie totally failed in an attempt to discredit President George W. Bush.

After all, he was called the "West Coast Kennedy". If that was refering to Teddy - theres a ot of unreasoned hate there. Hate does strange things to people.

Please see post #28. The Left planted an unqualified shill in the WH Press Corps who decidedly did *not* get the Jeff Gannon treatment...

"He felt he was treated very poorly and it was difficult for him to understand."

I feel this way every time I deal with a lawyer. Welcome to my world.

I find it amazing that Michael Newdow's ***ATTORNEY*** was acting as a left-wing shill in the White House Press Corps.

This was the man who asked Scott McClellan if "leaking Valerie Plame's name was tantamount to treason."

I liked that "You name it, he's done it"
By golly, the guy has even fallen to his death
and landed on a ventilation grate in a hotel lobby!
---that's upscale!
Seriously, the guy helped Michael Newdow, so is his death something to be lamented?

Good info in that post.
Maybe this guy finally got a conscience and decided to "do the honorable thing."

I have no wisecracks because, regardless of what he did in life, he has by now learned the most hideous lesson of all which is -- there are no dead atheists. And there is no turning back.
