Seal's lawyers spoke publicly at a press conference recently, saying the artist was technically not acting outside the law. They cited an old piece of legislation which may create a legal loophole for Seal and his team of attorneys.
In 1967, a law was passed in the county that prohibits the disturbance of "Seals" of any species. It was originally enacted with the intention of preserving marine life in the area, but may have been written ambiguously enough for the artist to use to his advantage. Legal experts say Seal's defense strategy seems solid and his chances look good, as if he may dodge the bullet this time.
Fans have rallied strong support, and are planning a candlelight vigil for the near future. Some have even called for a boycott of the nightclub.
A small group of extremists, mostly religious fanatics, has condemned Seal's behavior.

loopholes are loopholes. let the seal go.
When I first met Seal in 1984, he was freebasing in Herve Villachez's motel bathroom. A spry, young know-it-all at the time, Seal had a spark I would never forget. I guess he's still all about havin' a good ol' time! Shit, I've fucked a bitch up for faaaar less!
