[quote="yogi"]I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy who told me that he knew the court stenographer in that case. Here is how I was told it all unfolded:
Dennis and his lawyers showed up a little early to the proceedings. Tommy, JY and Chuck each had lawyers and they all showed up a little early or on time.
Tommy, JY, and Chuck were no shows for at least the first 55 minutes or longer than that.
Even though Tommy, JY and Chuck were not in the courtroom the judge still let DDY's attorneys proceed with Dennis case. DDY's attorneys stated Dennis case, and handed the judge a bunch of legal documents pertaining to Styx, the Styx name and the Styx trademark.
At about the 55 + minute mark( close to an hour or more late) while the judge was looking over the paperwork that was presented to him by Dennis's attorneys Tommy, JY and Chuck entered the courtroom dressed as Jonathan Chance, Dr. Rightous, and Lt. Hyde respectively. JY was also seen holding, and eating from a bucket of Dr. Rightous fried chicken( for which he was reprimanded for eating in the courtroom), Tommy then yelled something like 'you cant stop the music M F'.
At that point the judge stopped reading the documents and ended the proceedings and awarded the Styx name to Tommy, JY and Chuck.
That's some crazy shi .[/quote]
