[QUOTE]Former U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald took the stand in federal court Tuesday morning and denied owing a convicted drug dealer $100 billion.

Testifying in the bizarre and at times comical trial of 44-year-old self-proclaimed "sovereign citizen" Cherron Phillips, the highly respected lawyer was one of several stars of Chicago’s legal world called as witnesses by prosecutors.

Along with U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow, and Magistrate Judges Geraldine Soat Brown and Arlander Keys, Fitzgerald was allegedly targeted with a frivolous $100 billion lien by Phillips in 2011.

Phillips — who has a history of disrupting court proceedings — is charged with abusing the court system. She allegedly tried to file the lien against Fitzgerald’s home as revenge for the 2009 conviction of her brother, drug dealer Devon Phillips.[/QUOTE]
Excellent choice of title by the Sun-Times, you have to admit.
