Bounty Hunter fans bombard Honolulu judge Barry Kurren

August 23rd, 2007

Attorney for the Chapman family found himself on the end of a beef with Honolulu Judge Barry Kurren after tons of Dog the Bounty Hunter fans bombarded his office with phone calls and emails. Duane and Beth Chapman issued a statement last week saying they were “devastated” by the judges ruling to allow the $300,000 bond to stand after the Mexican government dismissed charges against Dog, son Leland and associate Tim Chapman. The Mexican government did file an appeal. Judge Kurren said he was under the impression after a closed door meeting on August 15th that they understood the prosecutor could have 30 days to decide what to do in light of the appeal and the Chapman’s would be released on their own recognizance and the bail would be released.

Enter the Chapman’s plea…and your response. I was able to see many people clicked on email links provided here. (insert guilty snicker here) Sorry… Kurren said he had some “confusion and unhappiness” with the strong response from fans and has asked the attorney to tell his clients not to tell people to contact him anymore. *giggle* Sorry…I’m just trying to imagine some of the emails or better yet voice mails this guy got as a result.

So I’ll do my duty…don’t call or email Barry Kurren.
