Celeb Lawyer Slams 'Dateline'
A prominent celebrity lawyer representing a doctor accused of being a sexual predator slammed "Dateline NBC" on Tuesday in a California courtroom, gossip site TMZ.com reported. Blair Berk, whose clients include Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson, is currently working for Dr. Maurice Wolin, an oncologist who was taken down by cops last year as part of Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" series.
Prosecutors argue that Wolin made plans to have a sexual encounter with someone on the Internet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl. In reality, the computer user was Xavier Von Erck, founder of Perverted Justice.
According to TMZ, Berk grilled a police officer whose department worked with the gotcha group and the NBC show during a preliminary hearing in Santa Rosa, Calif. Berk maintained that Perverted Justice got money for snagging alleged predators and therefore entrapped her client.
