****Opening arguments were set for Thursday in a case Victoria Osteen's lawyer called "silly." But Reginald McKamie, attorney for Continental Airlines flight attendant Sharon Brown, said he hopes the trial will show "that celebrity status doesn't take precedence."****

I geuss the free book book was not enough to persuade her against the lawsuit.

I am NO fan of the Osteen’s but I would have to say that this flight attentent (OK I’ll say it STEWARDESS) strikes me as a bit of a gold-digger.

And hemorrhoids?

I don’t think I could hold the laughter in if someone was claiming they needed hundreds of thousands for hemorrhoids and I was on that jury.

Based only on news reports, I would award minimal damages. I would not be surprised if there was an offer of judgment for some minor amount. If so and the jury awards less, there are some states that would then require the plaintiff to pay the defendants attorney fees and costs.

Not sure what the law is in Texas.

The Federal Aviation Administration fined Victoria Osteen $3,000 for interfering with a crew member.

McKamie said the FAA did an appropriate investigation. State District Judge Patricia Hancock said she would make a decision later on whether the report would be allowed.

If she did not contest the fine, it may very well mean the report is inadmissible.

Sounds a bit to me that Ms. Brown is looking for an early retirement with BIG benefits. Story smells a little.

The Combatants....... Let the fray begin

The Osteens are freaks. Like the vile Rick Warren, they almost never utter the word “Christ”.

Rusty Hardin? Doesn’t he have enough to do defending that knucklehead Clemens?

“Brown wants an apology and punitive damages amounting to 10 percent of Victoria Osteen’s net worth as part of her suit.”

Wow! 10 percent of Osteen’s net worth is a lot of money! Back in normal times, a handshake and sincere apology would be sufficient.

According to court documents, Brown claims that she suffers from anxiety and hemorrhoids because of the incident and said her faith was affected. She is also suing Osteen for medical expenses for counseling.

That Osteen woman may or may not have invited trouble upon herself, but this Brown gold-digger has a point about the anxiety and hemorrhoids. Remember when the Philistines took the ark to Ashdod? 1 Samuel 5!
