Taking the fight a little too literally?

We’ve all been there: You walk out of court seething with anger and frustration over what just happened to your client. The prosecutor just misrepresented something to the court or snuck in a devastating line of questioning over your objections or a thousand other possible dirty tricks and you’re so angry you just want to punch that prosecutor! But you don’t, right?

Well, you don’t, but allegedly someone else did:

A Cook County public defender and boxer has been charged with two felonies after he allegedly choked a county prosecutor at the 26th and California criminal courthouse, authorities said.

Why? Allegedly, “the two disagreed over when to set the next court date on a post conviction hearing for convicted murderer Derrick Neal.”

The public defender has counsel who is now telling the media that his client will absolutely plead not guilty. This could be one heckuva trial.
