Bubba Lawyers Permanently Disbarred Over 'Shocking' DUI Setup During Defamation Case

7

THE MOUTH, AUGUST 26TH, 2016 –– The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday (8/25) ruled that two attorneys should be permanently disbarred for their roles in setting up the drunken-driving arrest of an opposing lawyer during a high-profile case reports news4jax.com. Justices unanimously supported the disbarment of Robert D. Adams and Adam Robert Filthaut, who were with the Tampa firm Adams & Diaco, P.A. in January 2013. At the time, they were defending Bubba the Love Sponge Clem in a defamation lawsuit filed by former crosstown host Todd Schnitt. Adams, Filthaut and a third member of the firm, Stephen Christopher Diaco, took part in a scheme to set up a DUI arrest of one of Schnitt's lawyers, Phillip Campbell, according to the Supreme Court.

"The misconduct leading to the disciplinary actions against these three attorneys is among the most shocking, unethical, and unprofessional as has ever been brought before this (Supreme) Court," the 13-page ruling said. Diaco agreed earlier to disbarment, according to the ruling. The set-up took place on Jan. 23, 2013 while the case was in recess for the night. READ STORY HERE

THE MOUTH, AUGUST 25TH, 2016 –– To say the least, It's been an interesting couple of days in Philly sports radio. Fresh off the heels of yesterday's shocker that a longtime caller to 97.5 The Fanatic Mike Missanelli Show, Dwayne from Swedesboro,” a stereotypical black caller, was actually a character created by a white producer, Pat Egan, comes word from philly.com that Missanelli's crosstown rival Josh Innes has been let go by Sportsradio 94.1 WIP. The station later issued a brief statement, writing, “We can confirm that Josh Innes is no longer with WIP." Reportedly, Innes was fired just an hour before he was set to take the air. The parting followed Innes harshly criticizing competitor Mike Missanelli and 97.5 The Fanatic over the fake caller story, but it's not known if this was the reason for Innes' exit. As for Missanelli, he told his listeners, “I didn’t know that “Dwayne from Swedesboro” was not a real person." He added that seemingly everyone at the station, including on-air partner Jason Myrtetus, was in on the bit according to philly.com.
