Is Skeeter Kerkove both insane and impoverished? The pros and cons of Skeeter Kerkove’s comments www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=28257 to me the other day are being weighed on www.xxxporntalk.com :

Sounds like Skeeter’s taking one out of the Vincent “The Chin” Gigante’s legal trick book to avoid his situation…..
Quote: “For Mr. Gigante, the guise that he adopted in the mid-1960’s – behavior that won him the names Oddfather and the Enigma in a Bathrobe – took considerable effort to maintain. He could often be seen shuffling around his Greenwich Village neighborhood in pajamas, bathrobe and slippers, mumbling to himself and appearing to be a disturbed but harmless person.
Law enforcement agents, prosecutors and Mafia defectors described his behavior as a staged performance calculated to evade prosecution for his activities as head of a major Cosa Nostra gang that under his leadership became the wealthiest and most powerful crime family in the nation.”
> ivorenginedriver comments: Signor Gigante knew the drill, act like a schizophrenic, and let your lawyers make the legal argument. Skeeter doesn’t quite get the picture. He ought to just act loco and let his lawyers do the talking. Skeeter is queering his own case by asserting he is non compos mentis without a qualified shrink to vouch for his assertion.
> Jim B. adds: Seriously, though, in the end, the crazy routine didn’t work for the Chin. He finally admitted it was an act and died in Federal Prison two years later. (IIRC, the same prison hospital where Gotti died. Chin once plotted to have Gotti killed.)
> Gigi writes: skeeter is a brilliant genius. he knows exactly what he’s doing. (which should be ME, btw.) i just may send him some of my dorito chicken as a show of support.
> I Love Moose Knuckle adds: This is brilliant. Skeeter needs a new attorney ASAP. First, the idea that he is innocent is retarded. This is a civil case. There is no innocense or guilt. It is a question of liability. Second, since this is not a criminal case, his mental condition will play very little, if at all. Third, he wanted a jury trial. He could have requested one, as long as he posted the jury fees and the other side didn’t object, and his request would have been granted. However, a jury would not help him in a Breach of Contract case (i.e. His current mental state, him proclaiming his innocence, etc., would not be relevant so he would not be able to say it to the jury). Once again, he needs a lawyer ASAP.
