Why should Lindsay Lohan be held in contempt of court?
If the Court doesn’t hold Lindsay Lohan in contempt the message to those before the court is clear: The Court isn’t to be taken seriously and justice is about as real as a reality TV show. I have to wonder if violence against lawyers is escalating. We’ve had some recent provocations against lawyers that make me pause and consider why. Right here in Iowa on July 9, 2010 we had a lawyer being assaulted while standing in a Dubuque County court room. It’s not the first and certainly won’t be the last. Several years ago a lawyer in Polk County was assaulted by his client while standing before the Court. Assuming the lawyer didn’t fall asleep during the trial, the defendant had to be mad at the judge or jury and not his own lawyer. The lawyer is there on the side of the defendant; so why the lawyer?
