Rock Hill, South Carolina
On Tuesday, October 2 of 2012, 30-year old
Lamarcus Williamson was in the middle of a pretty bad day. Being in court is never fun, but Lamarcus' turn in front of a judge was about as bad as it could get; having already
pleaded guilty to assault, robbery, and drug charges, he was now waiting to hear the severity of his punishment.
When the judge handed down the maximum 15-year sentence, Lamarcus promptly turned and
slugged his lawyer in the face. You can witness the one punch beat down for yourself in the video embedded below.
As you can imagine, his attorney was shocked to be on the receiving end of an assault from a handcuffed client. But there's a bit more to the story that made this attack the mother of all sucker punches.
For starters, the man on the receiving end of Lamarcus' fists, Dan Hill,
wasn't even the guy's regular lawyer; he was just there to help out a fellow colleague. To make things even worse, the day that Mr. Hill accepted what ended up with the worst court room morale support position in history also happened to be
his 58th birthday.
"This sort of crap never goes down at Chuck E Cheese."
Lamarcus Williamson had six months added onto his 15-year prison sentence for contempt of court.
...along with a loss of the ability to use
"C'mon, it's my birthday..." as an excuse to get anything.
