What was your worst day at work? Does it top the day that Cleveland criminal defense attorney Aaron Brockler had this past Tuesday?
I'll let Cleveland.com explain what happened:
A Warrensville Heights man shocked a courtroom full of spectators Tuesday when he sucker-punched his own defense attorney after a judge sentenced him to 45 years in prison…. Cuyahoga County sheriff's deputies took down David Chislton after the 42-year-old struck lawyer Aaron Brockler in the face with both of his handcuffed fists.
A courtroom deputy's body camera recorded the attack.
Brockler, who suffered injuries to his face and a possible concussion, at least kept his sense of humor, joking to reporters,"It was pretty fun."
