Attorney Mark Geragos has had a long career representing high-profile clients including Michael Jackson, Colin Kaepernick and Jussie Smollett. Now he might need a defense attorney himself after being named Monday in a case accusing lawyer Michael Avenatti of trying to extort Nike.
Geragos is not charged with a crime but people familiar with the Avenatti investigation confirm he's named as an unidentified co-conspirator. The 61-year-old celebrity lawyer hasn't responded to requests for comment.
Geragos has defended headline-grabbing cases involving Winona Ryder, Chris Brown and Scott Peterson.
Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson says Geragos is "in many ways the face of the legal profession" because of his longtime tenure as a legal analyst for CNN. The network said Monday that it has cut ties with Geragos.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.
Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
