Lawyer Shoots Lawyer
by TChris
The judicial system is often described as adversarial, but this is extreme:
A former prosecutor was arrested for investigation of attempted murder after he shot and critically injured a lawyer he had been scheduled to face at a court hearing, authorities said.
The shooter, William Joice, now in private practice, was scheduled to appear at a contempt hearing to explain his failure to respond to his victim's discovery requests. The presiding judge expressed surprise, noting that he saw no ill-will between the lawyers when they were last together in court.
