Mac ‘n’ Cheese kid Luke Gatti hires UConn alum as attorney
Ex-UConn student orders some justice with a side of jalapeño mac ‘n’ cheese
Good memes die hard, and Luke Gatti, certainly more meme than man at this point, is a prime example of that idiom.
Like the lingering stench of Union mac and cheese, Gatti once again surfaces to the top of our newsfeed, demanding a special form of probation for first time offenders called accelerated rehabilitation.
Gatti achieved national fame earlier in the semester when a video of him drunkenly ordering mac and cheese from the student union went viral. He was arrested and charged with first-degree criminal trespass and public intoxication.
If Gatti’s application for accelerated rehabilitation is approved he might have to complete a certain amount of community service, or attend counseling.
Ironically, David Kritzman, the lawyer defending him actually graduated from UConn and UConn’s School of Law. Justice is not only blind, but it apparently has a very bad memory.
David graduated magna cum laude in 1980 and got his law degree at UConn four years later. He is a partner at Beck & Eldergill, P.C. and has been actively practicing law for over 30 years. Not too shabby.
Admittedly, Gatti did publish a heartfelt apology video which could play a role in the deliberation of his parole application.
Gatti will return to court December 21st.
