The celebrity lawyer is now reportedly an unnamed 'co-conspirator' in the indictment against Stormy Daniels's former attorney.
CNN cut ties with Mark Geragos just hours after the celebrity attorney was named as a co-conspirator in a case accusing lawyer Michael Avenatti of trying to extort Nike. By Kyle Swenson Kyle Swenson Reporter for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow March 26 at 6:28 AM It was November 2003. Mark Geragos was earning a worldwide rep for defending the most reviled man in America inside a courtroom in Modesto, Calif., when his beeper started screaming.
“If I’m going to represent somebody, I think at the very least they deserve someone who can find the good in them,” Geragos told the Los Angeles Times in 2003. “I don’t think most people are evil. I think sometimes people are demonized unfairly.”On Monday, federal authorities arrested attorney Michael Avenatti, the former lawyer for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels.
“My father was sworn in as a D.A. in January 1957, the same month I was conceived,” Geragos told Super Lawyers in 2009. As a kid, Geragos would sit in courtrooms and watch as his father’s cases unfold, an experience that fixed his own trajectory toward the courthouse.Geragos studied anthropology and sociology at Haverford College, then after graduation entered Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
Upon release, McDougal was charged again for criminal contempt and obstruction of justice. At the suggestion of his father, Geragos stepped in to her defense. As he explained to the New York Times, Geragos took the case pro bono, explaining to McDougal that because of his Armenian background, he “had a special appreciation for victims of government oppression.”
The jury acquitted McDougal on the obstruction of justice charge and deadlocked on the criminal contempt charge. Geragos was defiant on the steps of the courthouse. “They don’t have the guts to retry it,” he said, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2003. He eventually worked to get McDougal a full pardon in the last hours of Clinton’s presidency.
