Finkelstein's 15 minutes

Remember the old Andy Warhol belief that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

Susan Finkelstein is on overtime.

The Philly woman was on trial this week in Bucks County on charges she offered an undercover cop sex for World Series tickets.

Not exactly the Trial of the Century.

Finkelstein’s attorney attacked the police for their ferocity in pushing the case against Finkelstein. It’s kind of hard to argue with him.

This is the biggest issue in Bucks County? A die-hard woman Phillies fan who was so desperate to score ducats for the World Series that she was willing to score in another way?

William Brennan said his client was guilty of little more than doing some things in bad taste.

I won’t argue with that either.

Officers testified at the trial that Finkelstein e-mailed them topless pictures of herself and then exposed herself to them during a meeting at a local bar.

Finkelstein denied doing any such thing. Both sides also disagreed over whether or not Finkelstein was wearing underwear at the time.

A jury took a couple of hours yesterday before deciding Finkelstein was not guilty of prostitution, but guilty of attempted prostitution. She likely will get probation for the misdemeanor rap.

Her lawyer says they will appeal.

Finkelstein says she’s looking forward to the Phillies season.

She went 1-for-2 yesterday. Let’s hope the Phils do as well.

And let’s hope we did not hear from Susan Finkelstein again anytime soon.
