Everybody do the Devaney Dance: Drag your heels and add a new motion

First, she asked the police "Do you know who I am?". Now, she claims: The police unfairly targeted me because of who I am.

In this year-long saga that is Marilyn Devaney's felony trial for allegedly assaulting a beauty store clerk with a curling iron, the latest legal maneuver includes a motion to dismiss because according to her lawyer, Devaney's treatment by police was "atypical" and the felony state of the charge against her was excessive.

The judge, who questioned the motion's relevance, allowed for it at a June 10 hearing with the trial start date now pushed back, yet again, to July 31st. Of course, the witnesses who took off from work and were ready to proceed yesterday will just have to schedule time off again.
