Man Convicted of Assault and then Assaults his Lawyer
Lamarcus Williamson was charged with a list of crimes and among them was assault. If anyone had any doubts about whether or not he was being unfairly accused of the assault charges, Williamson laid those doubts to rest. Williamson must really have been unhappy with the way his lawyer handled his case because he assaulted him right in open court.
It often happens that criminals who are on trial feel that their lawyers are not doing a good job of representing them and they may get angry and want to attack them but it is rare to hear about a criminal who actually follows through and does it.
Williamson, who was imprisoned in South Carolina, entered a plea of guilty in answer to charges relating to assault and drugs so he must have known that he would be serving some time in prison. They issue must have arisen when Williamson heard the amount of time he would be in prison.
As soon as the judge said that he would be serving 15 years in prison, Williamson turned and punched his lawyer, Dan Hall.
Speaking to reporters, Hall said,
“I was shocked, I didn’t see it coming. I hit the floor.”
By punching his lawyer, Williamson earned himself an extra six months in prison, in addition to the 15 years.

If I didn’t think I would end in prison I would have punched my son’s lawyer too. She lied and promised that they couldn’t keep my son because there was no evidence and the evidence we had would work for him, the judge didn’t allow the evidence. My son’s now serving 26 years. Never been in prison in his life not even jail. It cost me $20,000. She talked him into taking a bench trial the day before he was to go into a jury trial. there is no way the judge can do him she said, I got this.
The judge told her that he didn’t want to hear anything she had to say. Found my son guilty even after the supposed victim recant and wrote him a letter, that old man said we forced her to recant.
Now the boy just OD. the girl just had an abortion, living here and there. The boy’s been shot. the mother just married a excon whose beats her so that she has a hair line fractor on her spine. the daughter he was accused of dropped college, shacking, and won’t have anything to do with the mother, because the mother set it up out of anger. And the old lawyer is not a judge.
My son was sentence Nov 30, 2010, she was worn in Dec 8, 2010 Son was shipped out Dec 3 2010. All she cared about was the money for campaign. She set me and my son up like a big dog, then she say well I won’t be able to appeal for him, you must get another lawyer.
If I could bind that old bag in h**l I would but I don’t want to go there myself so I am yet standing clear.
She knew what she was doing. I can’t reach her any more. I had her home and cell number as long as I was paying her.
Then to find that it was conflict of interest. His wife who had him locked up signed the contract with me to hire her. She paid the first 1500 dollars. Plea Bargaining is nothing but a guilty plea that will follow these young guys for the rest of their lives. while these old dirty lawyers and judges drink them selves to death or end up hiding out in fear from their wrong doing.
I hope that old lawyer feels it for the 15 years this man is serving. He problably would have gotten less time had he just left it in the hands of the judge. and my son probably would have gotten less time had I not paid her a penny. Dirt sits in the justice seat. One day they too will pay.

Well dear, this is the system that you VOTE for either democrat or republican…
Common sense should have told you not to HIRE an attorney…as a public defender would have done a better job…
You should have told your child to stay with a jury trial, but instead, you listened to your heart and believed in the white man nd Jesus sent your child to prison…
Your attorney is most likely thinking, “WOW, that was the easiest $20,000.00 I ever made…send that N-Word to prison was easy…we need for more Black mothers to spend money or to convince their child to plead guilty or to have a bench trial”…
Your son could have easily went PROSE and would have won his case in front of a jury…
Well dear, as with so many just pray and Jesus will continue to work it out for you…
Now you know how the system treats ignorant Black males and their mothers…
The reason why the attorney will not appeal your case is because the appeal is against her…
Therefore, you need to file an appeal for ineffective counsel…the problem is that you are going to have to file the appeal yourself (the courts will help you step by step) or you can get conned by another attorney who is willing and waiting to take your money…
As for this article, this fool should have known not to plead guilty unless his deal is in writing and signed by the STATE (prosecutor)…

He’ll be right where he belongs.
