Courtney sacks lawyer

This from CMU:

Another questionable decision from the Courtney Love camp - the singer has fired the lawyer who was representing her re those ongoing drugs charges
because: "he wanted me to plead guilty to something I didn't do". The decision means that the case - due to finally reach court this week - will now be pushed back to 8 Mar so new lawyer Michael Rosenstein can familiarise himself with the case.

As previously reported, Love was arrested acting 'erratically' outside a former boyfriends house and was allegedly found to be in possession of illegal substances. Later that day she took an overdose. Word is Love's original lawyer wanted her to plead guilty - with the hope she could avoid jail by committing to a rehab programme. No word on how Rosenstein plans to fight the case - though rumour has it he wants to try and get some kind of resolution before it goes to trial.

Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
