SANTA ANA, Calif. — An inmate in California who disliked salami was able to receive kosher meals after his attorney cited the “Seinfeld” holiday Festivus as his religious belief.
The Orange County Register reported Monday that 38-year-old convicted drug dealer Malcolm Alarmo King asked for kosher meals at the Theo Lacy jail to maintain his physique.
His defense attorney, Fred Thiagarajah, cited King’s devotion to Festivus — the holiday celebrated on the hit TV show with an aluminum pole and the airing of grievances.
Sheriff’s spokesman Ryan Burris says King got salami- free meals for two months before the county got the order thrown out in court.
