[h1]Dukes Makes Payment, Avoids Jail Possibility[/h1]

Nats outfielder Elijah Dukes avoided the possibility of a 90-day jail sentence today by paying $39,767 in outstanding legal fees several hours before the court-appointed deadline. One week ago, a Hillsborough (Fla.) Circuit Court judge ordered that Dukes must pay the money, owed to attorneys representing his estranged wife, by 5 p.m. tonight.

"Right now, the money is being processed by our firm, so I consider it paid," said attorney Carlos Ramirez, who represents NiShea Dukes. "They made the deadline."

The deadline -- and the court's ruling that Dukes must pay the debt -- came after NiShea Dukes' attorneys filed a motion for civil contempt, a means to claim the unpaid fees. Dukes has three children with his estranged wife, and has been involved in a length series of court proceedings.

seriously though, this %$%$# is a LEECH:

"Listen, Elijah is having a pretty good season," Irvin said. "He is doing well. He is current on his child support. His wife, NiShea, will go to any length to smear him. She won't even grant a divorce. Elijah has been trying to get a divorce. All this is over attorney's fees. This is not child support. If Elijah Dukes isn't paying child support, it's a different story."

He should've paid at 4:59 and in rolls of straight cash.

From another site: "...it is news every time Elijah Dukes doesn't go to jail. No word on whether a little league volunteered to pay this bill forDukes."

BEAST. I bet 90% of the league couldn't handle this.
