Actor Randy Quaid -- the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid -- and Randy's wife, Evi, have matched sets of police-station photos. But the public may know them best, not for their legal transgressions but for their habit of not showing up in court when the law summons them...
"It amounts to pretending that something distressing doesn't exist, otherwise called denial," said Paul S. Appelbaum, a psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry, medicine and law at Columbia University. "At some level, most people will register that the summons to appear in court is for them, but it's what the mind does with that information that's important."
