You are allowed an infinite number of repeat links on Fark though.

"sorry, jeffrey, we can't just keep buying pets for you"

- jeffrey dahmer's parents. you know, a few years before the nastiness.

Because the guy might stab a lawyer the judge actually likes.

Why do they keep saying "allegedly" when there seem to have been witnesses to all of the attacks?

I bet this guy though he had found one hell of a loophole.

"They have to assign me a lawyer, if I just keep stabbing them, I can putting this off forever!"

Christ take away a mans drugs and he gets all stabby.

No new, fix old.

Being "unable to assist in his own defense" comes to mind...

Maybe now he'll do the judicial system a favor and stab himself.

At least they finally got the point.

Maedros: Why do they keep saying "allegedly" when there seem to have been witnesses to all of the attacks?

It's a CYA move so that if he somehow gets acquitted it'd be harder for him to sue them for defamation; they'll drop the "allegedly" once he's actually been convicted.

I do not envy public defense attorneys. My aunt was one and she was stabbed in the foot by someone she was defending. She lost her job over it as well (The state decided she should be done with workman's comp before she was able to walk).

Maedros: Why do they keep saying "allegedly" when there seem to have been witnesses to all of the attacks?

Because until someone has been found guilty, they are presumed innocent. Whilst it is fine for you and I to state something as if we believe it to be true (like "he stabbed his lawyer"), if a member of the media or press do so, it could be seen by members of an eventual jury, thus meaning they could prejudge the defendant, and result in an unfair trial.
It also (at least in Scotland it does), can land the papers in the dock for contempt of court, especially if the trial is actually in progress; a good example of this was a famous murder a few years back, where a newly-opened sleazy-tv station had one of it's "news reporters" (aka blonde big-titted moron) outside the Old bailey, who ended her piece with "hope they find him guilty, the murdering bastard" or words to that effect. The Judge felt that this could potentially cause the jury if they heard of it, to be contaminated, and of course, once it's out there, any new potential jurors are also likely to have seen it, and ruled the station in contempt.
Live!TV I think was the tabloid tv station. Might be wrong on that though...

Fool me twice ...

I submitted a better headline:

Stab three lawyers and you won't get another. Promise?

How many guards, lawyers, and civilians do you have to attack and/or murder before nobody will much care if you accidentally fall down ten flights of stairs at the jail? After reading his history, that seems like the least wasteful way of dealing with pure human debris.ob

Kurtz advised jurors to ignore the restraints. The judge also ordered the jury to disregard the incident involving Cantor's pen, and the defense attorney's sudden absence.

Laughing so hard at the story it's hard to breathe.

that's not an argument
yes it is
no it's not
yes it is
GAINSAY is not
HAHAHAHAHAHA

Murder ? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means. I know what *you* think it means, sonny. To me it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD *STAB STAB STAB STAB*

/Can't wait for his parole hearing

"What? Should I not have done that?"

If you cannot stab your own attorney, an attorney will be stabbed for you.

Sock Ruh Tease: If you cannot stab your own attorney, an attorney will be stabbed for you.

I'm okay with this.

Dibs on that job

Meth, it's a hell of a drug.

Yeah. The motions that the judge is going through here are hysterical. "Now, everyone pretend that he didn't stab that guy and judge his drug-addled self fairly."

I feel bad for the people getting shanked, but at least this animal is going away for a long time, no doubt.

mid-article: "Monson is charged with possession of methamphetamine"
Reaction: "Wow, Meth can make you do farked up things"

Last line of article: "That is in addition to a second-degree murder charge connected to the Jan. 2 shooting of Brian Jones, 30, who was killed while talking on a cellphone in a south Everett apartment."
Reaction: "Oh, well, fark meth, this guy is dangerous anyways."

If (when) he's convicted I wonder if he'll get more lawyers for his appeal.
