Inmate accused of second pencil attack in court

EVERETT, Wash. - An inmate at the Snohomish County Jail who allegedly stabbed his lawyer in the neck with a pencil earlier this week reportedly did the same thing again Friday. Joshua Monson, 27, was in court for a motion Friday to stay action in his criminal cases so he can receive a mental health evaluation at Western State Hospital. On Monday, Monson allegedly stabbed defense attorney Tom Cox. On Friday, he was in a hearing being conducted at the jail with the judge participating by video link, as reported by The Herald's news partner, KIRO-7. That's when Monson's new attorney, Gurjit Pandher, was attacked. Contacted after the hearing, Pandher declined to talk about what happened. Pandher was not seriously hurt, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. He was checked over by a nurse and continued with his workday. Monson is facing a murder trial after he was accused of shooting a man in the head in a south Everett apartment in January. Witnesses told detectives that Monson and the victim, Brian Jones, were rivals because of their mutual interest in Jones' girlfriend. Monson allegedly stabbed Cox during jury selection for a 2010 drug case. He was assigned a new lawyer Thursday. In both stabbings, Monson allegedly used small jailhouse pencils, similar to golf pencils. "The inmate is currently being held in the booking area in a restraint chair, and any future movement of him, as far as appearances or anything like that, will likely occur in a restraint chair," Hover said. This case will be referred to the prosecutor's office in addition to the first pencil stabbing case, she said.

In general, I don't really have a problem with most lawyers being stabbed in the neck.  But the part of this story that amazes me is how it could have possibly happened a second time.  After ol' Josh here stabbed his lawyer once, wouldn't it just be common sense to make sure that he didn't have any pencils on him the next time he appeared in court? Especially since the dude is an accused murderer.  Moronic is all I can say.  The stupidity epidemic in America continues and shows no signs of abating.  Smarten the fuck up people!  Bang.  Done.

Fla. Father And Son Slash Man Who Drank Their "Last Beer," Say Cops

ASTOR, Fla. - Some folks can get a bit riled up when you drink their last beer. The Lake County Sheriff's Office said Jeffery Wilkerson found that out the hard way, at the Astor home of Jason Higdon Jr. and Sr. last Friday, when both men attacked him in a dispute over their last cold one. Wilkerson suffered a 10-inch slash from his back to his abdomen, deputies said. Witnesses intervened and called for help for Wilkerson, who's 46. He was flown to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona for treatment. His condition was not released, but he was well enough to give a statement to deputies. Deputies said Higdon Jr., 21, and Higdon Sr., 43, fled the scene of the attack, but were later arrested in Seminole County. Both were charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. They are each being held on $15,000 bond.

Let's just talk for a minute here about who committed the real crime. As an Irishman, an American and a beer drinker, I say the worst crime was committed by Jeffery Wilkerson. You cannot, under any circumstances, take someone's last beer. I hate to say it, but you got what you deserved Jeff. There are certain guy rules that are rock solid and unbreakable and you broke one of the biggest. What's next, sleeping with your best friend's wife?  Release the Higdon's immediately! If I were the Governor of Florida (a job that must be one of the shittiest jobs on earth) I would seriously consider pardoning these dudes. Bang. Pay attention!

Woman admits to stabbing man during sex
(CROWN POINT, Ind.) A Hammond woman admitted she stabbed a man in the chest while they were engaged in a sexual act. Irene E. Janowiak, 38, pleaded guilty Friday in Lake Superior Court to aggravated battery in exchange for a six-year prison term. Her sentencing hearing is Feb. 10 before Lake Superior Court Judge Salvador Vasquez. On May 31, 2009, Janowiak was at the man’s home in Hammond and was engaged in a consensual sex act with him when she plunged a knife into his chest near his heart. Janowiak, who is a prostitute, jumped from a second-floor window. The man grabbed a machete he kept near his bed to defend himself. Janowiak had been charged with attempted murder and attempted aggravated battery and faced a maximum 50-year sentence. Those charges will be dropped. Vasquez revoked her bond based on new charges filed and missing a court hearing in November. Janowiak was charged in July in Lake Superior Court in Hammond with possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana.

I keep telling you guys, you gotta go a little longer with the foreplay....
