Kramer to be represented by Bob Barr, longtime US Representative and 2008 Libertarian Presidential candidate.

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.
