That one kinda hits close to home, huh Caj? ;) That would be a bad feeling, knowing that you could be hunted down like a mad dog just because some crazy person blames you personally for something ruled in a court of law. :eek:

On the bright side, she now has free medical care, 3 hots and a cot for basically the rest of her now 78 year old life.:D
 
Whoa! Let me get this straight. The attorney represented this old babe in a bankruptcy case and now she wants to kill him. I'm curious. What was the result of the bankruptcy case? It must've really gone south for her to get her dander up like that. On the other hand, maybe she's just naturally crazier than a rat in a hen house. Inquiring minds want to know.
 
Yeah, just what is it that makes people want to kill lawyers? Caj?
Plus, I would not want to represent her for this infraction, either!

Very tempting to make flippant remarks but, fact is, lottsa lawyers get shot at and some die. I knew a few myself. I never got shot at but in my 21 years on the bench trying felony cases and divorces I was threatened a lot. It ain't fun, not for the lawyer/judge or his/her family and there's nothing funny about it, folks. Rant off.
 
I will be glad to share my lawyer jokes and poke fun at my counselor colleagues.

No one should be threatened this way with a firearm.

I am grateful the judge imposed a sentence with some meaning as a result of her behavior.

There must be significant consequences when firearms are misused.
 
There is a guy currently serving a life sentence in Minnesota for killing his attorney. Once in prison, he ran for governor. I liked the concept: if he gets elected and he's already in prison, you save a step.

I thought it was only Illinois where governors end up making their own license plates.

I have a friend who used to say the biggest benefit of switching from public defender work to prosecution was the drop in the number of death threats he got from defendants.
 
I think she's as nutty as a fruitcake, and he's lucky to be alive. Twenty two years added to her current 78 is basically a life sentence.

I too would love to know how she thinks she was wronged. Odd for the article to not say I think.

I'm not a lawyer, but I always have a firearm on me when setting at my desk. You never know when some other turkey in the office has set someone off their rocker. Like the officer said in "The Green Mile", I think her cheese has done slid off her cracker!
 
My lawyer friend worked very hard to get probation instead of jail time for a burglar. The guy showed his appreciation by burgling my friend's house.
