Akaberi, in part, got people talking about him, because of his stunt a decade ago, in which he wore his outlandish get-up to Brooklyn court. It included a "shirt" fashioned from newsprint pages covered in the holy Hebrew writings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson - and a hat made from a print-out of the original seven commandments given to Noah. Akaberi wore the peculiar outfit as apparent retaliation because he was banned from reading Talmudic quotations at a pre-trial hearing.
