'A very attractive man'

A Florida appeals court tossed out drug charges against a man who successfully argued that he was simply attracted to an undercover police officer, not that he wanted to sell him drugs. (link courtesy Hit and Run.)

Judge Susan Lebow ruled the defendant, Julio Blanco, was lured by the police officer into committing a crime in hopes he would be rewarded with sex. ...

Dismissing the case, Judge Lebow certified Nahum as cute.

"I make that a finding. He's a very attractive man," she said, according to a transcript.

Blanco's attorney, Kevin Kulik, spoke up to ensure the transcript would accurately reflect Nahum's macho, muscular appearance. "For the record, I would submit he was about 6-2. He was in good shape, you know, a fit individual, young detective, looked to be maybe 30."

The judge was not the only one to notice Nahum's charms.

"Let's just say that all of the women in court that day were paying a lot of attention to him," Kulik said on Wednesday. "After he left the courtroom, they were all like, `Wow.'"

Apparently there is no photo available of the hunk, since he is, afterall, an undercover cop. But CBS filled the need with a graphic combining a pair of handcuffs, a rainbow flag, and the word DRUGS. Reminds me of a party I went to a few years ago.
