 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Comedian Michael Richards won't attend a weekend mock trial with four black people he targeted during his racial rant at a comedy club because the gathering is open to the media and amounts to a publicity stunt, his lawyer said Friday. Attorney Douglas Mirell said any meeting between Richards and the three men and one woman should be private.
Richards portrayed Kramer on the television sitcom, "Seinfeld."
The incident occurred Nov. 17 at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. The comedian launched into a string of obscenities that included the "n-word" and a reference to lynching blacks after someone in the group of friends told him he wasn't funny. A video cell phone captured the outburst.
