Update on Michael Righi, a Circuit City receipt & law enforcement’s reach


Jeff Hess of Have Coffee Will Write offers this update on a case that had been getting enormous attention nationwide, although the incident occurred in Cleveland. There was to be a hearing today, but Michael Righi writes that the hearing has been cancelled:

I have been contacted by a number of people who indicated that they are planning on attending my hearing which was originally scheduled for tomorrow, September 20th 2007 in Brooklyn, Ohio Mayors court. I just received confirmation a few minutes ago that there will be no hearing tomorrow. I am very appreciative of the people that wanted to be there, and I’m very sorry for the last minute notice. Please do not show up at the municipal building as I will not be there. I’m sorry to be brief in my posting but I can’t say much more at the moment. I will provide more information at a later time.

-Michael

This comment may be from the Plain Dealer’s Michael Sangiacomo, who wrote the PD article to which the comment author’s hyperlink connects. It offers a bit more info.

This coverage from two days ago covers the relevant bases and indicates that Righi’s case was settled on Monday, 9/17/07:

Mr. Righi’s case may not be one that resolves the consumer/retailer relationship problem since his arrest came after he left the store and the police officer involved ended up charging him with obstruction. His lawyer said yesterday the criminal matter had been resolved and charges would be dismissed.

Thoughts?

Here’s what I originally wrote.
