Inqlings: Alycia Lane about to walk free?

By Michael Klein

The camera loves Alycia Lane, and I hear it's a camera that will help her walk out of a New York City courtroom an almost-free woman tomorrow. The anchor's life and career were shaken Dec. 16 when she was arrested in Manhattan and charged with hitting a police officer after a traffic tiff. Her station, CBS3, fired her two weeks later.
A source says a video that may cast doubt on the initial police report surfaced last month, prompting frank conversations between the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and Lane attorney David Smith. At tomorrow's hearing, the People of the State of New York are expected to formally agree to an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.
Under an ACD, if Lane stays out of trouble for six months, her record will be wiped clean. She will carry neither a guilty plea nor a conviction.
No one surrounding the case - Smith, Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Mike Greenman, or Lane - returned calls for comment.
Meanwhile, a civil case that Lane attorney Paul R. Rosen filed last month in Common Pleas Court against CBS was moved to federal court at the request of John Elliott, the Ambler litigator who reps CBS. Rosen, of Philly's Spector Gadon & Rosen, seeks depositions from CBS3 management in anticipation of what may be a wrongful-termination suit.
At issue is $2.5 million, as Lane had more than 31/2 years remaining on a contract that paid $700,000-plus a year. Rosen says he's trying to get the legal matter returned to Philadelphia.

That might be difficult for her. After all, wasn't she under a directive from her supervisors at CBS3 to "lay low" and "stay out of trouble" when she go into this fracas with the NYPD?

Weak point. If she is innocent of the charges then she did stay out of trouble. The DA is conceding that there isn't enough evidence to prove that she was guilty of a fracas. The incident is on film.

She isn't innocent though. If she was, the charges would have been nolle prossed, charges withdrawn without prejudice, and she probably would be suing the NYPD at this point for some sort of false arrest.

What will her payback to Fat Eddie be in return for the phone call?

They did let her off.


They did this BS because she prolly did call the cop a Dyke.

although the cop prolly did "attack" first, smack phone, fail to identify.etc..

The NY DA's Office placed this case in the "adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, or ACD" program, which is diversionary in nature, and very similar to the ARD program here in Philadelphia. Not exactly the same as being "innocent", just having conditions placed on making the charges disappear after a time.

Now, would anyone care to wager how long until her next screw up?

/my apologies to anyone if this actually IS a haircut routinely found in modern society, sported by you

What's better?

Please...I'd like to know.

Cause that's fine for me.



Jessica Alba seems to have bangs.
