Just one reason it must suck to be a public defender
I know of a case in which the defendant drove a pencil completely through the hand of his PD while the lawyer was arguing to the judge (hand resting on the defense table). No jury around -- just didn't like what the guy was saying, so used the pencil and began choking the lawyer.
But that man was probably honestly "crazy" -- in addition to being a rapist and murderer.
