Steven Sanders a.k.a. Steven Sakai is accused of killing three men associated with the Sweet Cherry a strip club he worked at as a bouncer. Today he took the stand presumably in his own defense and started dropping ninja talk all over the place.
On trial for three killings connected to a strip parlor in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, a bouncer told jurors yesterday that he was being framed by a squad of police assassins acting on orders from a corrupt detective who was out to shake down the bouncer’s private security business while his martial arts students conducted countersurveillance black ops against the Police Department.
Isn’t that the plot to a Steven Seagal movie? You think that is good. Check out this doozy.
Later, Mr. Sakai was asked to explain the martial arts skills listed on his résumé, including ninjitsu.
Mr. Gough asked whether he meant ninjitsu as in ninja training to become an assassin.
“Yes and no,” Mr. Sakai said. “Upon the training of the ninja, you have to be more, how can I say, more in tune with yourself. More in tune with yourself.”
No I don’t know. Please elaborate. I am no lawyer but if you have any inkling that your client might start talking about ninja training on the witness stand maybe you shouldn’t put him up there. I think this cat might have watched Kill Bill one to many times.
