lawyer Tor Erling Staff
 

TES (1933 - 2018

He was a very famous lawyer in Norway (prolly one of the most famous ever , besides Lippestad who was terrorist Breiviks lawyer) , he often supported bad guys/other low lifes until proof of their guilt was given thus he was a controversial character

He was also more or less pro pedo , for example he insinuated that what the "Pocketman" (famous serial pedo in Norway who cut holes in his pockets so kids could fondle him) did was not really that serious (TV host Skavlan was flabergasted by this statement :roll:) , in fact the same happened to Staff himself when he was 12-13 yrs old......so Staff was certainly controversial :ohwell:

Um Ok glad he is dead one less Pedo in the world

Not really a threadworthy legacy...

Who says we can't write about "bad guys" too , its not like it always has to be about people we admire (we also discuss Cosby , accusations against Stallone or Morgan Freeman etc...not everyones cup of tea perhaps but still) , but he did (for better or worse....mostly worse) make an impact on Norways justice system (just my observation , not getting into politics etc)

Here's comedian Trond Kirkvaag doing an imitation of Staff :

(That's Staff in the beginning of that clip btw)

Not everyone deserves to be remembered.

Fair enough but people still talk about Hitler or Saddam or bin Laden after all these yrs.....not all the time but they still do nonetheless

Anyway , Staff used to be on TV once a week in the 90s for yrs , he was a host of a debate show so he was def a celeb lawyer.

Am I blind or does the initial post actually not mention that this guy died? It just sounds like it's describing the poopy things he did.

"He was"

Usually when people use the word "was" its about someone whos deceased , also "Current events" here on the Drome is often used for celeb deaths and/or sad events

Staff mightve been molested himself as a kid so I dont understand why he supported molesting , even pedos were against his outrageous statements

2 of his most famous cases :

Benjamin Hermansen murder (black kid who was killed with knife by 3 neo nazis in 2001)

Varg Vikernes (yes , the black metal guy......he escaped from prison in 2003 and had a machine gun and bullets when cops got him , Varg lives in France today)

Good.
