Talk:Mark Geragos

Misc comments
About time someone created an article for this guy. Unsigned comment by 68.90.48.87


 * Mark is the man - Unsigned comment by 68.49.92.170.


 * With all due respect, this is Wikipedia, not an online forum. Stiles 06:50, 25 March 2006(UTC)

What was he doing in Torrance, CA Superior Court 6/18/06?

Geragos is an idiot. He said Paris Hilton would get bail and be out of jail today (6/11/07)

Armenian?
Is he actually an Armenian, or an Armenian-American? Badgerpatrol 03:48, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


 * He was born in the United States, and his background is Armenian. That makes him an Armenian-American.  Check citation #7 for the source on this.  Stiles 03:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes- so he is Armenian-American or American, not Armenian. Badgerpatrol 04:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

An anonymous user added the following line:


 * A statement that foreshadowed the death sentence given to Geragos's other defendent, Scott Peterson.

I do not contest that the death penalty was given to Scott Peterson. I do have a problem with the claim that Michael Jackson's statement "My life is at stake..." forshadowed Scott Peterson's death penalty. It doesn't really matter what any of us believe. What does matter is that we can reference everything we state, unless of course, the claim is public knowledge. Now, the claim that the above line was foreshadowed by Michael Jackson's statement is clearly not public knowledge (remember, events such as September 11th constitute public knowledge, not this). So, please, reference any and all statements/claims. Stiles 00:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Does the article REALLY need to say he's an Armenian-American, like twelve times in the first paragraph? 67.167.189.167 (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I didn't notice this discussion until I recently removed "Armenian" as a descriptor for "American." He is an American and has, to my knowledge, never been an Armenian. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 20:12, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Name
It occured to me that Mr. Geragos may have changed his name, since Geragos is not an Armenian surname, but Geragosian is. Does anyone know if (and why) Mr. Geragos changed his name? W00d 20:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

He probably change his name for the same reason that he is a SPAMer! This should tell you sonething about what kind of lawyer he is. Audioace 22:00, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I remember looking this up once and finding the family surname was originally Geragosian or something similar ..... but it could have been changed a generation earlier, as well. — Soap — 21:58, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

His Statement About Michael Jackson
We have Michael Jackson's statement about Mark Geragos. Geragos, for his part, was dismayed by Jackson moonwalking on top of an SUV outside the Santa Barbara courthouse in 2004. I'm adding that. Earththings (talk) 07:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Unsourced materal
I removed quite a bit of unsourced material. Can citations be included for any readdition of material? TIA --Threeafterthree (talk) 01:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Kurt Naegle section
I've removed this section. It was written in very biased language and the cited article didn't support any of the statements in the paragraph except for the fact that Geragos' client was convicted. Moreover, the case itself doesn't seem notable: The client isn't a celebrity, like some of Geragos' other clients, and it seems to be a relatively straightforward drunk driving case.

Two things
Ok, there's a new TV show (pilot?) on ABC (loosely?) based on Gerago's life. http://deadline.com/2016/02/daniel-sunjata-cast-abc-notorious-drama-pilot-mark-geragos-1201700845/ http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/piper-perabo-notorious-abc-pilot-cast-1201720786/ There's also an opportunity for a cross-link from Notorious (2016 TV series).

Secondly, Geragos has a weekly podcast with Adam Corolla. Not really deserving of it's own section, but maybe worth a mention under legal commentary? 65.174.253.2 (talk) 01:59, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Bloating Notable clients section
I've just pared this section down. There is no reason to add any but either very high-profile or legal landmark cases to such a section. Lindenfall (talk) 22:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
