AP movie critic Christy Lemire told us a while back in the Del Rio News Herald (Saturday, March 10, 2007) that the trash-chic movie Hustle & Flow "paraded an array of pimp - and - ho cliches, and its tale of struggling artistry is one we've seen a million times before."

NOT SO!!

¡ Ora, UTEP !

Enter the happily married real-life San Antonio couple of attorney Ted H. Roberts and his wife Mary Roberts !

As the San Antonio Express News article by Maro Robbins (Monday, March 19, 2007) tells us:

"Attorney Ted H. Roberts was found guilty on three of five theft counts after he threatened to sue his wife's lovers and expose their adultery unless they compensated him.

"[J]urors decided his complaints and demands resulted in an elaborate theft of $100,000 from at least two of the men.

"Robert's wife, Mary, still faces the same theft charges as her husband, although no trial date has been set yet.

"Mary S. Roberts is expected to argue that she aided her husband primarily because she was consumed with guilt and feared losing custody of the couple's young son in a divorce."
