LAWYER FOR WOMAN PUNCHED BY CHP OFFICER JAILED FOR CONTEMPT: LOS ANGELES (AP) — The lawyer for a bipolar woman who was beaten by a California Highway Patrol officer has been declared in contempt of court and sent to jail until she answers questions from a federal judge. Caree Harper was sanctioned Monday in Los Angeles for refusing to say how she met Marlene Pinnock and when she learned the woman might be mentally incompetent. She’d earlier been ordered not to spend any more of her client’s money from a $1.5 million settlement without the judge’s approval.
