Jimmy Miller would be pleased... Back in the 1980s I rented a car for Jimmy. Jimmy put the keys to the car on a hook in the sauna at the luxury condominiums we rented for him and his family. Someone stole the rental car (3 teenaged kids, it turned out) while Jimmy was in the sauna, they smashed into a car in Malden Center, drove the car back and put the keys back.
The next morning the rental car company called me up yelling at me. I said "You know I rented the car for Mr. Miller, let me call him and find out what happened.
"
Meanwhile I had purchased insurance, of course, especially since someone else was driving.
Well, Jimmy went downstairs (he was up on the sixth floor or something) and the grill to the car was smashed in. He phoned me back and said "My God, Joe, the car was in an accident." Jimmy later tracked down the culprits...but here's the kicker...the rental car company manager sued me!
So Jimmy & I went into court - and Jimmy had gone to law school and was pretty darn good in court (yes, I was taught by the master!)...The Judge listened to us, asked me if I bought insurance, I said I did, he turned to the rent a car manager and said "I don't care if Mr. Viglione parked the car, went into a grocery store with the car running to buy something, came out and found someone hit it. HE BOUGHT INSURANCE. My question to you, Sir, is where is all the insurance money going? I will take this under advisement.
"
As we walked out of the court room Jimmy said "We won." We did. The notice came in the mail.
Years later as I fight for First Amendment TV rights in Medford, I'm dealing with a lunatic attorney who has threatened to kill me (in Cambridge court), who has harassed me, and who keeps losing in court! Jimmy taught me well!
In the same court room where Jimmy & I won a judge slapped down this nutty attorney for saying that I am "mentally deficient" and "insane".
Now some of you might agree with the loon counselor, but he shouldn't
be mouthing off in court just to be mean spirited.
Oh, he lost two cases to me that day, August 6, 2008!
Here's a You Tube of the nutty attorney getting thrown out of City hall Medford at a hearing for the TV station!
