NEW YORK (CBS) As the lawyer of Phillies fan Susan Finkelstein denies allegations that she offered an undercover police officer sex for World Series tickets, new pictures on Facebook have surfaced that appear to show a happy and somewhat reserved woman whose online image is greatly at odds with the portrayal by Pennsylvania police.

Finkelstein made headlines Tuesday when she was arrested after using Craigslist to find someone willing to give her World Series tickets, allegedly in exchange for sex.

An undercover officer in the Philadelphia suburb of Bensalem responded to the ad and claims he met with the 43-year-old woman at a bar. The officer said Finkelstein offered to perform various sex acts with him and his brother, who the cop claimed also had an extra seat.

But Finkelstein's lawyer, William Brennan, says his client did nothing wrong and feels police went over the line in pursuing her.

"I know the cops need to police the Internet for Craigslist, but going after a 44-year-old married lady trying to get to World Series tickets, that's way over the top," he told Crimesider Wednesday in a phone interview.

Brennan also vouches for Finkelstein's bona fides as a true Phillies fan.

"I am kind of a Phillies fan, but I could not name the 1980 starting lineup, but she can. She is for real," he said.

The clergy, by getting themselves established by law and engrafted into the machine of government, have been a very formidable engine against the civil and religious rights of man. -- Thomas Jefferson

"The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy."
--George Washington

The prosecution of religious law by civil authority reduces America to the level of Saudi Arabia.; Reply to this comment

Typical response "the laws don't apply to me just everyone else".
I am sick of that attitude many Americans now have.
Almost as sick of an ugly cheating wife being top headlines.
I wouldn't give that woman a quarter for what she was offering.

by mwc26013 October 30, 2009 3:52 PM EDT: Is this journalism? Questioning the facts of the case and her behavior based on these photos? Why are they keeping this in the news and posting all of these pics of her, anyway. Let it die CBS and report some real news; Reply to this comment
