: Wise Law BlogVideo: Florida Judge Jumps Over Bench, Tackles Defendant
Law.com sets the stage:
Florida Judge Ian Richards demonstrated he could wield more than a gavel when he took a flying leap over his bench to tackle a defendant bent on attacking a former girlfriend who was testifying against him in a domestic violence case. A bailiff was handcuffing the 29-year-old defendant when he bolted toward the witness, who sought refuge between the bench and the witness box. The judge then vaulted the bench to help subdue the attacker.
