Beauty Queen-Turned-Law Student Indicted on Kidnapping Charges

Posted Jan 2, 2008 5:24 PM CST
By Molly McDonough

A pinup girl-turned-law student has been indicted on charges she kidnapped and tortured her ex-boyfriend last month.

Kumari Fulbright, a reported clerk to U.S. District Judge Raner Collins in Arizona, is accused with three others of tying up the man with cable and duct tape, then holding him captive in two separate locations for a number of hours, ABC News reports.

The Tucson Citizen describes Fulbright as a "volunteer law student" for Collins.

Fulbright was a 2005 Miss Arizona contestant in 2005 and is listed as a second-year writer on the editorial board of the Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law at the James E. Rogers College of Law.

The victim reportedly escaped after he was able to grab Fulbright's gun, ABC reports.

This is dumb. The woman probably had issues, and is no genious.  And “Alice” is probably an ugly guy who needs a shave, and has never had a woman.

I’m guessing Alison Stone is no “genious” either…

She must have videoed this.  Are the rights on the market yet?

The other news reports of this make it sound much more frightening than this ABA article.  The man was taken back and forth between locations and had a knife held to his throat and was told he was going to be killed.

Why does this make me think of another article I recently read entitled: “Good-Looking Lawyers Make More Money, Researcher Says?”

I read this on CNN yesterday, the whole thing was over some jewelry from a mid-40 year old prior boyfriend.  She lured the victim into her apartment and took a shower while her ex-boyfriend and another guy knocked him down, tied him to a chair and then beat him. 

They then took him to another apartment where she bit him, beat him with a pistol and cut him with knives.  After the two other guys left the victim managed to get one arm free, grabbed the gun from the woman and managed to escape to a nearby home where the police were called.  Warrants have been sworn out for the other two guys.  Simply ghastly.

Sounds like pretty standard stuff for Tucson and beauty queens.

I wonder if this will affect her character and fitness review with the bar?  : )

In response to #2—I am a woman who has never had trouble attracting men, and I have turned many of them down, maybe because I have standards and would never take lots of expensive gifts from a man just to use him.
