| Super Bowl Streaker fined by six woman Jury |
| 2004-06-24 |
| EFL hattip to WND HOUSTON (AP) - A streaker who delayed the second-half kickoff at the Super Bowl was fined $1,000 Tuesday but avoided any jail time. Mark Roberts, 39, of Liverpool, England, was fined by the same six-woman jury that found him guilty Monday of misdemeanor trespassing. That carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail and up to a $2,000 fine. Jurors deliberated for about an hour before deciding on the sentence, courts coordinator Rachel Ferrel said. "The whole reason I did it was to entertain people, America," Roberts said Monday. "If making people laugh is a criminal offense, I should be sentenced to prison for life." Many male strippers routinely make large tips from female audiences. My guess - Max is not particulary talented. |

| #5 Strategically shrewd this jury pick was. Had the perpetrator been a female; my guess, it would be an all male jury also!! |

| #4 They had a picture of this jerk in the Houston Chronicle the other day. They didn't show him on TV during the actual event. He was nekkid except for a small deflated football taped over his naughty bits, and he had the URL of a casino spray-painted across his chest. |

| #3 If he had given a demo in court the jury,after close examination of evidence,might have found him not guilty. |

| #2 he explained it was really, really cold that day. I guess that explains why it was "reduced" to a misdemeanor. If it had been in Green Bay, you would have had to throw it out for "lack of evidence". |

| #1 Throwing himself on the mercy of the court, he explained it was really, really cold that day. |
