Firenze Sage: That old what’s his name…. [jailbird sues lawyer]

A jailbird who was so outraged over what he felt was his lawyerâ€s shoddy representation of him in court sued the attorney — but he couldnâ€t remember the guyâ€s name.

So the fuming felon filed a federal suit against “I Donâ€t Know My Lawyerâ€s Name” for the truly astounding sum of “one houndred dollarys” in damages.

Some portions of Wilfredo Rodenaâ€s self-filed suit against “I donâ€t know” are incomprehensible, but he filed the action as part of a civil-rights bid to overturn his 1989 conviction for kidnapping a young woman at knife point.

In his Manhattan federal court filing, Rodena claimed that “I donâ€t know” and he did “not fight for me at all. He did not said one word in my behelf.”

The suit also names Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson — whose name Rodena spelled correctly — and says, “the stenographer is envoled to. But I donâ€t no her name.”

Instead of typing, Rodena said, “All she did was Smirk at me. And kept her fingers over the machine, and never typed one letter.”
