Crim Justice takes a hit with regard to older celebs.

May 27, 2017 By Karl Leave a Comment

What happens when crim justice, lookism, and celebrity meet face to face? Lady Justice peaks from under her blindfold and renders “modified” justice. Some would call it “in” justice.

Crim justice takes a hit.

We’ve explored attractiveness and sentencing in recent posts.  Recently we looked at younger troubled stars. Here are a couple of examples of older troubled stars. That is, attractive people who’ve used their celebrity and wealth to game the justice system.

The crim justice system pretty much lets them slide.

In February 1961, 20-year-old Nick Nolte was arrested for selling fake draft cards. Forty years later, in September, 2002 a  disheveled Nolte was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs after an officer observed Nolte swerving his 1992 Mercedes-Benz into opposing traffic near his Malibu home.

Here’s the low down on Nick Nolte and Tim Allen, according to TheTalko:

Crim Justice?

“Nolte made headlines in 2002 after he was arrested in Malibu on DUI charges for which he was sentenced three years’ probation and an order to go to drug and alcohol meetings. However, this wasn’t the only legal charge Nolte had ever faced. When he was twenty four years old, he was arrested for selling counterfeit documents. The result? A $75,000 dollar fee and a 45- year suspended jail sentence. Of course, he never served the jail sentence, but the offense alone prevented him from serving in the army and had various psychological effects on him including anxiety and self-doubt.”

Crim justice & Tim Allen

Crim justice & Tim Allen

“As startling as it may seem, Tim Allen is not as innocent as his TV personality was on Home Improvement. In fact, Tim Allen was arrested for drug trafficking in 1978. Allen was charged with possessing over 650 grams of cocaine. After giving the police information on other dealers, Allen only served two and a half years of his sentence of three to seven years. After he was released, he stayed out of trouble until 1981 when he was arrested for drinking and driving. For this, he had to take a course of alcohol rehab and was sentenced to a year’s probation.”

What’s your take on all this?

Clarice

Thoughts about “Clarice,” spinoff from “The Silence of the Lambs.”

I managed to catch the  2nd episode of the "Clarice" series recently. It channeled the Waco cult situation, also known as  the Waco, Texas massacre.  That was the controversial law enforcement siege of a compound that belonged to the Branch Davidian religious cult. In the 2nd  episode,  Clarice … [Read More...]

Popular Culture and True Crime – Tutorial II – Murderabilia.

Serial Killer Trading Cards

Popular Culture and True Crime – Tutorial I – Serial Killer trading cards?

About the same time that Michael Aamodt, a professor at Radford University in Virginia, started cataloguing serial killers, trading cards popped up. Aamodt's Serial Killer Data Base, compiled with the help of students, is academic, respectable. See here for a prior blog re Aamodt's Radford … [Read More...]

‘40 Years a Prisoner’- Film about MOVE vs Philly Cops.

How well I remember the days leading up to what seemed like just another incident of conservative urban police officials not understanding evolving radical beliefs and ideologies of the time. I'd just finished grad school in West Philadelphia, but still got  MOVE  updates from friends I'd visited in … [Read More...]
