Dino Might

Dino Constance has been fighting with his wife for a couple years, primarily over the custody of their baby son, who was removed from their home and put in foster care in the wake of allegations of domestic violence. The divorce has been especially ugly, made more so by the charge that Constance hired four different people to kill or wound his ex-wife. His defense team is preparing to claim Constance is mentally impaired. I have no idea what Constance did or why he did it, but his defense better be using that claim for real. There's nothing I hate more than when defense lawyers use insanity to try to excuse a client who isn't really insane.

Just sayin'.

Although his photo in this article certainly makes him look unhinged. Maybe it was just a bad hair day.

Unfortunate picture. I'm kind of thinking it's not going to help his case. Which is probably for the best.

I actually knew this guy in H.S. wouldn't have figured him for this ever.
