Shot In The Dark: Hatch Job

Hatch Job

Mike Hatch's daughters' trial on assault charges began yesterday in Chicago :

Boiled to its essence, the trial appears likely to lay out these scenarios, based on the testimony of the first four prosecution witnesses, all employees of the Crobar Club, where the incident occurred:

The Hatches were loud, obnoxious, arrogant, obviously drunken patrons of a club that had just shown them the door. They then profanely and repeatedly attacked the police officers who politely told them to call it a night.

Or: They had been kicked out of a club on a cold winter night, without their coats or purses, manhandled by the police for no discernible reason and then, when their high media profiles were discovered, vilified from behind the thin blue line of officer solidarity erected when police are accused of misconduct.

As a citizen, I hope the scourge of loud aggressive drunks at bars is dealt a setback.

As a parent, I hope the Hatch family gets this sorted out.

As a rank opportunist, I think that if they're found guilty, the rights to the story could be worth a buck or two. Perhaps selling to Cinemax...

This story is more of the straight-to-video variety but you may need to change Chicago to some unnamed Latin American country and change the drunk and disorderly charge to drug possession.

The rest of the story pretty much writes itself.

Mitch, I'm pretty friendly with the owner of Diamond Jim's Liquor store, where Ann Hatch was arrested shortly before her Chicago debut after she threw a tantrum, threw boxes and broke signs because the owner (his names "Hi") busted her trying to use a fake ID and kept it.

In fact, I was talking to him yesterday about this. Hi says "she is frantic crazy".

One thing's for sure, whether those two little princess's get convicted or not, they've learned not to "f" around with Chicago cops.

Heh.

Don't worry. The Hatch girls will find a way to become the victims here. Good parttime work for some poor underemployed playwright.
