06.Mar.2010 NOLA Criminal Law and the Lawman

So I was having dinner with my family at Pho Tau Bay last night when in walks none other that the Lawman, Steven Segal, with his team of Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s deputies. They looked like they had just come from busting some heads out on the mean streets. (@mwikkid can back me up on this. [...]
