Detroit Strip Clubs: Stabbing victim’s memory clouded, Windsor court hears
May 17, 2012 at 1:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWINDSOR, Ont. — A Chatham man who was stabbed seven times during a melee at a Windsor strip club testified Wednesday he has little recollection how the fight began.
Joseph Robert told Superior Court he was with friends at Leopardâs strip club on April 28, 2010, when he got into a fight with 30-year-old Darryl Byrd, who is charged with attempted murder.
Robert, 28, said his memory is sketchy because the fight happened two years ago and he was intoxicated. He refused two offers from assistant Crown attorney Elizabeth Brown to refresh his memory by viewing the statement he gave police.
From testimony heard so far by Justice Renee Pomerance, Robert and three friends drove to Windsor from Chatham to have some fun. Robert and a cousin were violating bail conditions imposed after the two were charged with aggravated assault in connection with a bar fight in Chatham in December 2009. The two were required to refrain from drinking and had a 10 p.m. curfew.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Political insider: Torrice makes bid for House
May 17, 2012 at 1:49 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsThe model and private detective who was once dubbed America’s hottest politician filed this week to run for state representative in the 24th District against Philip Kurczewski of Clinton Township in the August Democratic primary. The winner will face Rep. Anthony Forlini , R-Harrison Township.
Torrice’s tenure as a commissioner from Clinton Township was seemingly mired in one controversy after another — from the time she posed on “Inside Edition” in a yellow bikini holding a campaign sign to her financial troubles and a court conviction for “willfully and negligently” setting fire to her Chesterfield home (she later claimed the insurance company was trying to “extort” her “because I’m a commissioner”).
Torrice once had to fight off suggestions she was a stripper while publicly acknowledging she has a stripper pole in her bedroom “for exercise only.”
