Gloria Allred Booted From Bill Cosby Trial For Using Cell Phone
The Forward ^ | June 8, 2017 | June 8, 2017

Gloria Allred, celebrity lawyer most famous (in my heart) for her cameo in ‘Rat Race,’ was expelled from the courtroom after her cell phone went off in the middle of Bill Cosby’s trial. It was Andrea Costand’s second day of testimony.

“It was off and it rang. I have no idea how it happened,” said Allred to a New York Post reporter outside of the courtroom.

Technology is important for the modern working woman but Allred rose from the ashes of 1950s sexism to become one of the preeminent feminist lawyers of her lifetime so I think we can forgive her for failing to master the “silence” button on her cell phone.

Her other accomplishments include raising a daughter who is quickly becoming one of the preeminent feminist lawyers of her time and, again, that ‘Rat Race’ cameo.

Allred’s daughter just gave her client Kathy Griffin very bad advice.

Does she "win" cases? Or is her success based on settling out of court?

I agree. There was no way to end it in any other way. But, now, with Jamie Foxx being how he is, I would like to have seen him somehow trapped in there with Butler.

Allred gives lawyers a bad name......................

90% of lawyers give the other 10% a bad name.
