Terry Bryant, the man charged with stealing Frances McDormand's Academy Award’s lawyer recently said that he and his client plan to “forcefully and aggressively resist” the allegations against him.
He stated, “There's a big difference between holding an Oscar and what he's charged with," Attorney Daniel Brookman said outside court, where Bryant was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. He added, “I don't think his character matches these charges.”
Bryant walked out of the Governors Ball Oscars after-party with the trophy on Sunday night, authorities said, holding it proudly over his head and saying, “All right baby boys and baby girls.” He quickly gave it up when confronted by a photographer.
McDormand won the Oscar for her performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Bryant could get three years in jail if convicted.
