Judge Carton Rules: Four-Digit Prison Sentences and One-Named 'Milk-o-holics'
Welcome back to Judge Carton Rules, where a fake judge issues rulings to spare the parties to cases in which the outcome is
obvious the time and expense of further litigation. Here is today's
docket:
Case 1: In the awesome commercial below, the toddler girlfriend of the E-Trade baby demands to know if "that milk-o-holic Lindsay was over" at her boyfriend's house. Lindsay "You're So Vain, You Probably Think This Commercial Is About You" Lohan says that she “has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna,” and as such, the ad has misappropriated her "name and characterization.” She's asking for $100 million.
Judge Carton's ruling: Bwaaaah haaahaaaaahaaaaaa hahhaaaaa!! Wow. Good to laugh like that once in a while. Now get out of my fake courtroom, "Lindsay," and do not return. E-Trade's future Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED.
Case 2: On Monday, the Alhambra Superior Court sentenced 35-year old serial bank robber Anthony Richard Cuellar (dubbed the "Mickey Mouse Bandit") to 1,948 years in prison for a nail salon robbery and eight bank heists in 2007.
Judge Carton's ruling: Even divided by 10, Cuellar's sentence is still 40-plus years longer than Bernard Madoff's 150-year sentence. Cuellar's future motion to modify the sentence is hereby GRANTED and the sentence is reduced by 1,800 years, down to 148 years.
Court is dismissed.
