How Not To Demonstrate Your Innocence

A man charged with murder didn't particularly like his lawyer's performance in court. After a series of rulings went against the man he decided it was time to do something about it.

So he tried to strangle the lawyer.

"I think he just didn't like the way some of the rulings the judge was making was going yesterday morning," attorney Bruce Carroll told WBZ Radio of the Tuesday morning attack by defendant John Gomes in Boston's Suffolk Superior Court.

It took an number of officers to pull the six foot, 250 pound defendant off the lawyer. The lawyer, incidentally, tried to get himself removed from the case last week. The judge refused to allow it.

While we here at Blue Crab Boulevard can certainly sympathize with Mr. Gomes, we simply can't condone leaving dead lawyers lying about. There's enough litter already.

    Yeah, what with the recently noted lack of available trash cans and all.

    Complete coincidence. Really. Honest. Would we lie?
