Chuck Otey's Pro Bono Barrister
Several months back, a local photographer made nationwide news when a drone — buzzing around for publicity purposes — suddenly veered off court and sailed right into her head.
She was cut, bruised and stunned, but Gallery 364 proprietor Georgine Benvenuto apparently escaped more serious injury when the incident occurred during an indoor press conference to publicize the opening of a new TGIF restaurant.
There were the usual laments from public figures and normal citizens alike, i.e. “We gotta do something about these drones. They’re outta control. Next thing you know, someone will be flying one into the White House!”
