...Gunson, Assistant District Attorney (described in the film as being "37, a Mormon, and the only member of the D.A.'s office who didn't have sex with an underage girl") aptly pin the blame on showboating judge, Laurence J, Rittenband. The film is a fascinating portrait of a artist whose life was stranger than any of his films, and whose sins were minor compared to those committed against...
...prosecution's most important piece of evidence: the videotape. Kelly's defense attorneys filed at least one motion as late as Tuesday morning to prevent the tape from being shown.

Content of great value mixes with bullies terrorizing their classmates, public flatulence...
...However, beyond this grammatical component lies the more general offense: a lack of artistic integrity. When altering any work of art, it is essential to keep to the original work and meaning of the artist as intact as possible. When the Vatican fully renovated the Sistine Chapel (incidentally, also in 1994), it made extremely conservative and meticulous decisions to stay true to the original intentions of Michelangelo’s ceilinged masterpieces. The 1994 revision of “Fair Harvard,” however, completely departed from Gilman’s original meaning. It seemed that the fair alums...
