File-In this July 27, 2011 file photo provided by the San Francisco Police Department, Lucinda Moyers is shown. Moyers is charged with breaking into the hotel room of "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek in San Francisco on July 26. Mark Jacobs, lawyer for Moyers, says that Moyers is a prostitute, not a thief, and was in a downtown San Francisco hotel to meet a john on July 26. Prosecutors say Moyers stole $650, a bracelet and other items from a hotel room where Trebek was staying with his wife. Moyers has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of burglary and possession of stolen property. (AP Photo/San Francisco Police Department, File)

Oh, the old "She couldn't have stole the money, she's a hooker" defense.

Wonder if Trebek will testify. Hey, I'll bet he'll admonish the attorney to put his questions in the form of an answer! Ha! See, because that's how they do it on Jeopardy! Boy, I'll bet no one writing about this or leaving comments on websites ever thought of that.
