Quote of the Day: Intrusive or fair game?

“The father was testifying and one of the lawyers asked him to name all the women he’d had sex with. What type of crap is that? Someone asks me that and I’ll tell him to go fuck himself straight up; from the witness stand if that’s where I’m sitting. Seriously, isn’t that the kind of intimidation questioning they’d use in Cuba? I mean, if there’s a child in the house and you want to know what’s going on, ask for a number or something, but names?”

--Blog Critical Miami comments on the ongoing custody case of a girl who emigrated from Cuba to the U.S.

Custody is being disputed between the girl’s Cuban father-Rafael Izquierdo- and the child’s Cuban exile foster couple living in Florida. Yet unlike the Elian Gonzalez situation this custody affair is much more complex.

In the latest developments, several blows were dealt against Izquierdo when the judge nearly dropped the case after she admonished his testimony on the stand.
