Woman already in court for forging prescription drug prescriptions tries same tactic on judge with forged doctors? note in an effort to delay sentencing
San Jose, Costa Rica, April 6th, 2011, Hollywoodsportsbook.com, a leading online entertainment gaming site since 1997, today announced that it has chosen 41 year old San Luis Obispo woman, Michelle Elaine Astumian as its latest ?Gambler of the Week? for her major gamble of trying to pass off a forged doctor?s note to the judge in her previous forgery case in order to delay sentencing.
Robert Evans, Hollywood?s Director of Operations says ?I admire chicks with testicles but this one is now on top of my list. Forging a Dr.?s note is a gamble itself?usually used to get out of work, a college exam or to cancel that gym membership you never used?but to pass off a forged Dr.?s note to a judge who is judging you on a forgery case is absurdly a high risk low reward gamble.
Astumian, who had been out of jail after posting $45,000 bail, was scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Barry LaBarbera to four years and eight months in state prison. She had pleaded no contest in January to two counts of forging a drug prescription and one count of using a fraudulent check. Each count is a felony.
But before the sentencing Deputy District Attorney Dave Pomeroy said that Astumian presented a doctor?s note stating that her sentencing should be postponed.
Pomeroy called the doctor whose name was signed on the note, and the doctor told him that the note was forged.
Pomeroy said that he reported the alleged forgery to LaBarbera, who ordered Astumian into custody. She then fell to the floor, prompting the judge to clear the courtroom for about 30 minutes.
An ambulance arrived and took Astumian to a local hospital.
Evans goes on to say? ?Duh Losing?..? Look I?ve forged a few notes from my mother in the past, but I don?t think I would have the cajonies to forge a Dr.?s note to a judge. Got to give her props for trying though?
For being chosen as our ?Gambler of the Week,? Hollywood is awarding Ms. Austumian with a $500 wagering account which we hope he can run up to thousands in order to help pay her legal fees says Ms. Nicki Smith, Hollywood?s Public Relations manager.
