"How do I know you're not sick? You could be some deranged lunatic!"--The Fresh Prince (Will Smith), 1987
In a nutshell, that describes this week's Weasel, Devar Hurd. 5 years after being released from prison for sending X-rated selfies, intended for R & B singer Ashanti, to her mother, Hurd is on trial again for stalking the singer and her family anew. You'd think this guy would've learned his lesson, but no. He chose to be his own defense lawyer, as if he actually learned anything while in stir.
He claims, according to media accounts, that Ashanti invited him in by accepting his messages, not realizing that he'd sent them to her mom instead of Ashanti herself. Blocking him on Twitter would've ended it all, but since he was using various aliases, how would Ashanti know if he was trying to contact her?
That he's in court is one thing. Proving he needs to go back to jail is another. In between, if it's love he's really looking for, like so many of these other dullards chasing hot actresses or singers, he'd be better served trying online dating. At least there he can find plenty of fish in the cybersea.
That's the trouble with stalkers - they don't know when to call it quits.

It's just a matter of time before he either ends up back in jail for violating his restraining order or one of Ashanti's bodyguards gives him a serious case of lead poisoning.
The case went to a mistrial, unfortunately, because one of the jurors took ill during deliberations. Hurd should be locked up in Bellevue. Period.
