Tuesday, I needed new heads for some of my collectibles, so I headed to downtown Los Angeles to the Toy District. As I was walking down Spring street I found myself standing in a line to get into the above building. The line was moving pretty fast so I was excited to be a part of it. Anyway turns out the California Supreme Court was hearing Oral Arguments on the Jesse James Hollywood case that day. They made a movie about it, Alpha Dog. I havent seen it, but I do have one of those Big Dog shirts…anyway
There I was a law student, there they were the California Supreme Court, and there he was the taco man outside. It was like a divine moment, or perfect convergence if you will.
So I started talking to the guy in front of me

It was Hollywood’s dad in front of me in line. We talked. I had no idea who he was until he told me. I quickly covered up my “KILL HOLLYWOOD” shirt, but he was pretty pissed about the Alpha Dog movie.
Turns out he was a paid consultant for the movie…so maybe he wasnt that pissed about the movie.
The Defense for Hollywood (which by the way was much better than the prosecutors office) is trying to have all of the Santa Barbra District Attorneys office recused, or removed from the case for helping to make the movie. There wont be a decision for months, but I’ll keep you informed.
