#2 Elaine Whitfield Sharp. She's local. Defended Louise Woodward, the British nanny that liked to shake babies to death.

#3 If she's got a line of stitches, she received medical care. Unless they think they grew there on their own.

#4 Tu she drinks and drives and pukes in cop cars as well...

Another officer who took Sharp to the hospital says that she was hostile in the police car on route and vomited inside the car before resisting assistance out of the car from police.

#5 Yes, she does. 1998...

Louise Woodward has fired solicitor Elaine Whitfield Sharp after allegations the lawyer told a police officer she thought the British au pair was guilty of killing nine-month-old Matthew Eappen. News that the 20-year-old former au pair had sacked Ms Whitfield Sharp followed a news conference held by the Massachusetts police officer who arrested Woodward's solicitor for drunk driving last week.

Sgt Randy Cipoletta said the solicitor had told him she had been driven to drink because she knew Woodward was guilty. He told reporters the lawyer was having a hard time handling what she believed to be the truth. Cipoletta arrested Ms Whitfield Sharp on charges of drunk driving on May 22.

Speaking at the press conference, Sgt Cipoletta said: "Elaine Sharp stated to me that she was an attorney for Louise Woodward, and when she took the case, she believed that she was innocent. And she knows that she is guilty and is having a hard time handling it."

Ms Whitfield Sharp has denied making the comments and has accused the trooper of harassing her. State police are investigating a complaint filed by the attorney.

But in a statement released after the conference attorneys Harvey Silverglate, Andrew Good and Barry Scheck said Woodward had accepted their recommendation "to immediately dismiss attorney Sharp as one of her counsel, and a letter of dismissal has been sent." It added: "We do not believe that Trooper Cipoletta is an extortionist and a liar, any more than we believe that Ms Woodward is a murderer and a liar."

The three lawyers praised Ms Whitfield Sharp for her contributions to some of the scientific evidence in the first-degree murder case, and for her generosity in hosting the Woodward family after her release from prison in November. But they described her as displaying "an aberrant pattern of behavior." And they said they hope she will use a court-mandated program to address some of her problems.

Sgt Cipoletta has said he might take legal action if Ms Whitfield Sharp did not apologise to him for saying the statements attributed to her in the report were untrue and that he made sexual advances toward her.

Ms Whitfield Sharp, aged 44, has pleaded guilty to the charges and after paying a fine said she was "appalled" at the state trooper's claims. She complained to the state police that Sgt Cipoletta propositioned her and taunted her for representing Woodward. "The statements attributed to me by the police are not true," she said in a statement.

If you've ever seen Elaine, you'd be puking in your cruiser if you were accused of that.

#6 Get this woman some medical attention then let the justice process begin. This is just a distraction.

#7 I'll give her some medical care: how about a 210Po suppository?
