The lawyer accused of hassling smokers at the Oakwood Woodland Hills has been evicted. Anti-secondhand smoke crusader John Birke has lived at the Oakwood for nearly two decades, but was found to have "caused a nuisance when he wet smokers with water two years ago using a spray bottle." Birke says he and his family will move, but he still plans to appeal the eviction. [LADN, previously]
