February 15, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Many high profile individuals are feeling concerned in anticipation of Terence McPhaul’s latest book “The Psychology of Hip Hop”, but one of the most disturbing actions came from Federal Judge Sarah Evans Barker, the controversial judge who presided over the Ford Motor Company/Bridgestone-Firestone Personal Injury Lawsuits. Judge Sarah Evans Barker dispatched Federal Marshals to “threaten me,” says McPhaul. McPhaul reports that Chris
Barfield of the U.S. Marshals Service contacted the author and issued a "warning" about the contents of “The Psychology of Hip Hop”.
The former Chemist, Mental Health Therapist and Personal Advisor to high profile clients says he conveyed to Marshal Barfield, “it is my First Amendment Right to be able to profile Judge Barker in my written work.” McPhaul states, “it makes me concerned for my personal safety, as I have never
heard of a Federal Marshal contacting an author because of an expected book release.”
Terence McPhaul, who has been lauded as “bright” and “highly insightful” with regard to celebrity behavior, is reported to have riled some of the world’s most powerful people. In his
first book, “The Celebrity Psyche”, the author profiled among others Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Phil McGraw, Michael Jackson, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs and Marion “Suge” Knight.
“The Psychology of Hip Hop”, contains a chapter entitled LAW:Liars And Weasels? which mostly focuses on entertainment related lawyers such as Clive Davis and Alan Grubman, features a profile of Judge Barker. McPhaul explains, “this particular chapter does contain profiles of those judges and lawyers who have engaged in questionable practices in their practice of law and
in their personal pursuits.” Moreover, “the profiles on legal professionals is an examination of
Antisocial Personality Disorder, or Sociopathy,” says McPhaul.
McPhaul who has appeared as an expert for Court TV and Bill O’Reilly opines,
“the fact that Judge Sarah Evans Barker would sick the U.S. Marshals on me only
substantiates why she was profiled in the book.”
