Judging by the Look on Her Face, It's True. Nothing Grows to Full Form in the Shade of a Gut

A Philadelphia man is facing charges of assaulting his mother, an elderly Philadelphia Common Pleas judge. And he may have brought additional accusations of indecent exposure on himself.

The alleged assault took place Tuesday afternoon at the judge's Lombard Street home. The incident came to light around 5pm that day, when a fire rescue crew took her to Jefferson Hospital for treatment of a cut above her eye that required four stitches.

The son, who lives nearby in the 2200 block of Pemberton Street in South Philadelphia, was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, and reckless endangerment.

On Wednesday afternoon, when a WCAU-TV camera crew and female reporter visited Lawrence Richette's home, he opened the door in his bathrobe. Then he opened his bathrobe (top photo), and extended his streak of disappointed women by one more (see reporter's face in top photo).
