‘Girls Gone Wild’ founder Joe Francis lashes out at jurors

Digging deeper in his never-ending war on everyone, Joe Francis has now suggested that the jurors in his recent trial be shot by firing squad.

The founder of the soft-porn “Girls Gone Wild� video empire was found guilty this month of imprisoning three women at his Bel-Air home. Francis did not like the verdict, as became clear in a just-published interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

“If that jury wants to convict me because I didn’t show up [to court], which is the only reason why they did, then, you know, they should all be lined up and shot,� Francis told the Reporter.

Not that Francis would miss any of them, because he holds a generally low opinion of jurors.

“Only the stupidest of the stupidest people end up on juries, you know?� he added.

Pressing on in his charm offensive, the video magnate then invited his girlfriend to affirm the generous size of his penis for the reporter.

Francis, 40, has become a one-man wrecking crew of lawsuits and rap sheets. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to bribery and filing a false tax return.

Last year, Las Vegas mogul Steve Wynn won a multimillion-dollar defamation case after Francis claimed he had proof that Wynn cheated “high-end customers.�

A legendary 2006 Los Angeles Times profile began with Francis slamming the female reporter against a car and twisting her arm behind her back.

Francis may have spoken up a bit too soon this time; his sentencing in the false-imprisonment case is set for July 9.
