Barr has been his attorney of record over the years, and in fact Kramer was given a 9-month continuance while Barr was running for president!
Thanks Mike. It’s been a while since I knew about Barr representing Kramer. 2 Atlanta area paper made it seem like a big deal. Short memories are everywhere.
Bob Barr is a sleazebag, but based on this alone I would want him representing me if I ever got into major trouble and was annually profiting from a popular science fiction convention to the tune of $150,000 a year.
Considering he’s managed to keep Ed Kramer out of jail for 12 years is a minor miracle. A horrifying miracle.
