Many Arora must be a busy man these days. Arora, an Atlanta lawyer, is the criminal defense attorney for Titans cornerback Pacman Jones -- which ought to be a full-time job in and of itself -- and the attorney for Dr. Phil Astin, who's accused of distributing steroids to pro wrestlers including Chris Benoit.
Here's what Arora had to say about the investigation surrounding Astin:
"It's their job to look through everything," attorney Manny Arora said Thursday. "I want them to look through everything, so if there is an acquittal in this case there will be no more doubt about anything that Dr. Astin's done."
And here's what he said about Jones:
"You can't do anything," Arora complained Tuesday. "Anything that comes up within a two-mile perimeter [of Jones and his] name comes up in it."
Sounds like being Jones's lawyer is a harder job.
Arora certainly seems to have impressive credentials:
Manny was born in Jodhpur, India, on April 26, 1970. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Nuclear Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1991, and his law degree from Georgia State University in 1994. He was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 1994, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces in 1994, the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Georgia in 2001 and the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Georgia in 2002.
So Jones and Astin are in good hands. Any guesses on which of Arora's clients gets the harsher sentence?
