Free Adam “Bullet Proof” Reposa

So Adam Reposa, heretofore known as “Bulletproof”, is criminal defense attorney in Austin. It just so happens he attended UT Law with Lorin. It just so happens Bulletproof has managed to get into a little stink with a Travis County Court judge when he made an obscene jester at the opposing prosecuting attorney. This “simulated masturbatory gesture” landed him a Contempt of Court charge as well as 90 days in jail.

Granted, if I ever find myself in a Travis County jailhouse after a heavy night of binge drinking and a few smashed up cars in my rearview mirror, I would probably give Bulletproof a ring.  It sounds like the prosecutor really pissed him off with some legal objection, so I’m sure it was a deserved response.  But still, I’m left wondering WTF?

 Here’s the original report from K-Eye News.  BP has since returned before the judge and “apologized” (with his middle finger, assuredly), but the judge followed through with a sentence of 90 days in jail.  Here are Bulletproof’s comments following the sentencing. My favorite quote:

“I’m not very good at looking contrite.  All I do is wake up in the morning and fight the government.”

The backlash is even more amusing, given his sudden prominence in a number of blogs, (including this one?) Please click on through at some awesome YouTube footage of his commercials.  What a guy.
