Sports: Dirk Nowitzki’s ex has a bun in the oven. He wants sole custody.

  • Our only focus in this case is to ensure the laws of the state of Texas are complied with to protect any and all rights Taylor has in delivery [of the baby] and her rights as a mother.
  • Scott Renick • Lawyer for Crystal Taylor, the ex-girlfriend of Dallas Mavericks superstar Dirk Nowitzki. Taylor is currently pregnant, and if that child proves to be his, Nowitzki wants it as his and his alone. That sounds like a very strange minefield to wade through, by the way, fraught with drama. • source

U.S.: 11-year-old’s lawyer: Let him go to juvenille court instead of jail

  • I want him to be occupied and busy and back, essentially, in school. I wouldn’t say he’s in good spirits. He’s confused. He looks and acts like a typical 11-year-old.
  • Dennis Elisco • Attorney for Jordan Brown, the 11-year-old boy accused of killing his dad’s pregnant girlfriend, Kenzie Marie Houk. The prison didn’t have supplies to accommodate an 11-year-old; Brown is wearing far-too-large prison clothing, including pants cuffed up “about 10 times,” according to Elisco. • source
