You’ll have to read this one to believe it. Both the excuse and the dogs name!
A Manhattan corporate lawyer who fatally beat his girlfriend’s poodle tried to dodge prison Wednesday — by claiming he was messed up by being the the only Jewish kid at his boarding school.
Defense lawyer Gerald Lefcourt told the judge that his client, Anthony Pastor, was mercilessly tormented at the school and that his childhood was hell.
But Justice Robert Mandelbaum wasn’t swayed and slapped Pastor with the maximum two-year sentence in Manhattan Supreme Court.“I ask the court for leniency. It’s a crucial time in his life, he has the opportunity to restore his relationship with his son,” said Lefcourt, who is one of three lawyers Pastor retained.
