A Risky Break-In
Bushkin also recalled that when Carson had found out that Joanne rented out an apartment a few blocks away from their home in order to meet with her lover, Johnny decided to break into that apartment to catch them in the act.

As Bushkin was a lawyer, he felt he needed a real and rational reason to allow the break in to happen. He asked Carson if his wife has enough money to pay for the apartment herself, and Carson replied “No, not really.” Bushkin then replied: “Then let me suggest that you have been the person who has been paying for this apartment. So arguably it’s your apartment.”
