Tampa Radio: Jury Chosen For MJ vs. Bubba Case

Bubba top, MJ bottom
It was a long day two in the civil lawsuit pitting two of the Tampa Bay area's most well-known radio personalities, Todd "MJ" Schnitt and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.  But by the end of the day, the judge did seat a jury.

According to ABC ActionNews8 in Tampa, both sides were methodological when it came to selecting a jury. On the one hand, the Schnitt camp would press to see if potential jurors had any opinions when it came to things like "name calling" and "bullying."  For their part, the Bubba camp would approach jurors almost looking to see "who gets a joke."

And that, in a nutshell, sums up both sides, and is at the root of the civil defamation case.

The Schnitt camp claims, in an effort to become the number one radio show in the market, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem went too far.
