: A Public DefenderWhat not to do in Court
By Gideon
Attack a federal prosecutor. Seems pretty logical, no? Yet Victor Wright decided to buck conventional wisdom and make a lunge for the prosecutor with a razor.
Sucks for him that two people in the courtroom were former military personnel: His lawyer and the court reporter. He was tackled to the ground (and roughed up a bit, I bet).
“Why don’t you try me instead of her?” stenographer Ron Tolkin shouted at the cowardly criminal as he leaped on Wright, before the group fell to the ground in a heap.
Both the elderly lawyer and Tolkin, 60, are former military men who served in Vietnam.
The “elderly lawyer” is 72 years old. Tolkin wasn’t so polite with his words, either. Legal Antics has a scan of the transcript (warning: lots of cursing).
