CSI Writers Sued After Shady Couple Resemble Real-Life Real Estate Agents

 

"CSI" writer and producer Sarah Goldfinger has been sued by real estate agents Melinda and Scott Tamkin, after a pair of shady characters strongly resembled them in one of the plots of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation".

According to the suit, Goldfinger tried to buy a house in 2005 from homeowners represented by the Tomkins. In the Las Vegas-set show, a woman called Melinda dies and her husband Scott is the prime suspect in the mysterious death.

Scott Tucker in the episode was a pornography-watching, alcoholic mortgage broker. In the suit, it is claimed that the original screenplay showed Melinda and Scott's last name as Tamkin.

  n/t  
 
"any resemblance by the characters to anyone alive or dead is strictly coincidental and shall be treated as such."
They don't have a case IMO.

  Actually,  
 
here is a better disclaimer:

"This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are the product of the writer's imagination or are used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living and dead, events, or locales, is entirely coincidental."

  Their claim is obvious  
 
Due to the poor economy right now, houses just aren't selling, so we need to squeeze a bit of money out of someone in an undeserving fashion. Thank you, America, for making our dream of stealing money one way or the other possible.
