A four-time bank robber who wrote a book featuring a character who robs banks is facing new bank robbery charges.
, Griffith said he lived for seven years behind bars with Bernie Madoff, the former financier sent to prison after being caught in one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in history.
His defense lawyer, Mark Ahlemeyer, urged the judge to disregard the prosecutor's remarks about Griffith's writings, saying they're protected by his client's right to free speech in the First Amendment. Federal agents believe Griffith was on his way to commit yet another bank robbery when police interrupted him, by accident, after a fender-bender Tuesday in Milwaukie, Oregon.
