Pontiac Lawyer Faces Felony Charges For Allegedly Smuggling Controlled Substances Into The Oakland County Jail
Finally, the proof is in: Love really does conquer all. And in the case of Pontiac Lawyer Nina Backon it apparently conquered - SANITY.
The Criminal Defense Lawyer showed up at the Oakland County Jail in Pontiac, claiming to be the attorney for inmate Eric WIlimowski.
But alarm bells went off when Authorities noticed that, instead of leafing through legal pads, the Lawyer's hands were busy blowing kisses at the prisoner.
Deputy Sheriffs searched the attorney and seized her cache of controlled substances.
The attorney now faces serious felony charges that could land her in prison for up to 9 years. And with two prior drunk driving convictions, incarceration is likely.
All of which raises the question of legal defenses. One that virtually leaps right off of the page is legal insanity. Another which might at least mitigate the charges is an assertion that the contraband was not intended for her boyfriend - the prisoner.
