The crime was crazy enough (two lawyers plant drugs on a school volunteer ALLEGEDLY), but the bios of the ALLEGED crime couple make this stranger than fiction. Sorry -- the ALLEGED bios. This couple looks so perfect from the outside that they could be the image they put in photo frames at the factory.
From LinkedIn, we have
the ALLEGED bio of Kent Easter (alleged real name!), who went to Stanford, then law school at UCLA, then Wilson Sonsini (also very impressive), and Stradling...and now, presumably, allegedly, the Pokey. An "attorney" will now become a "jailhouse attorney".
From AboveTheLaw, we have the ALLEGED
bio of Jill (Jillianne) Bjorkholm Easter, with a law degree from Boalt, also time at Wilson Sonsini, and then apparently her own firm (allegedly) of Easter & DeLeon, L.L.P.
From TheKnot.com we have a
wonderful wedding story with: an ALLEGED proposal in Venice, a Winery Wedding (also alleged), and a honeymoon (allegedly) in Fiji.
Then, from the OC Register, the ALLEGED
mug shot of one Jill Easter, nee Bjorkholm, who looks like she allegedly got some of that SoCal plastic surgery even though she is allegedly like 38 years old. (Dual mugshots available, allegedly, at the
Newport Beach Patch.) Her alleged Twitter feed, @Licensetojill (you cannot make this stuff up!), follows a laser skin care center and skin "clinic" (i.e., Botox) in Huntington Beach.
What makes two apparently successful attorneys with storybook lives, at least from the outside, sue a parent volunteer at their child's elementary school and then not only commit a crime but do it so clumsily that they are immediately caught and face prison time and the end of their careers? I have no idea but it's fascinating to speculate about. It's quite possible the couple are what we call "assholes" (allegedly) and are used to just figuratively running over people who get in their alleged way.
Now that everyone is on Facebook, including someone allegedly named
Jill Bjorkholm Easter, I wonder what the community will have to add to this story.
