Lindy Lou Layman was in court today on charges of destroying $300,000 of art (including two Warhol paintings) while on a date with Houston attorney, Tony Buzbee. Looks like she got drunk, refused to leave to trashed Buzbee's art. She cleaned up for court, but looks really methy in the mug shots.


FYI, Tony Buzbee is the Aggie bagman behind the purchase of Jimbo Fisher.

"Similar to allegations of theft or embezzlement, the level of the charge is determined by the value of the objects in question. In this case, Layman is accused of the maximum, a first degree felony. If convicted, she could face life in prison."


Was out with an attorney/art collector buddy last night watching the game and he said a Warhol was rumored to have just sold for a big number. An orange Marilyn Monroe, I believe. The above attorney's painting may be worth much more than $300k.

No, never been technically adverse to him. He represented most of the unit owners for a large condo fire that occurred in Galveston after Ike. We had the property insurer. Basically a small welder subcontractor starts the fire installing handrails. Dude wasn't using fire blankets, didn't have a fire watch and the slag was dropping down between the stucco and wood. Fire raged out of control and demolished units on the beach. Big issue was that the GC claimed that it was dismissed from the job by the board that morning. They claimed they told all their subs not to come to the job. Welder claims he was never told. Kind of a "devil's in the details" kind of case - where there ended up being pretty good evidence that the welder was informed and he probably called one of the owners and was working on the side....in any event. We settled after opening statements. Tony went to the mattresses and got a $40 million verdict all against this welder. But the guy had $100,000 in coverage. Tony just wanted his name in the paper as free advertisement. But, I will say, he was a very skillful litigator and orator.

I heard that a very senor Centerpoint executive basically stopped a deposition in a case involving a severely injured girl coming in contact with a downed transmission line and told him that Centerpoint will make it right with the family.
