One of defense lawyer Norm Pattis’s ex-clients apparently wants to kill him.
On the one hand, he’s got an internal justification for his actions (revenge), and he doesn’t seem like the type to care about the consequences. So he’s a serious threat in that sense.
On the other hand, I don’t see how the guy can pull this off. I mean, he didn’t have the ability to order a hit when he was a free man. What are the chances he can pull this off in prison? Why wouldn’t any prisoner he approaches just dime him out for a deal? How would he pay for such a thing? Why would anybody he pays bother to go through with it when they already have his money?
Hey, I’ve never had anyone literally want to kill me, so what do I know…but unless there are some frightening details Pattis left out in his post, this doesn’t seem like anything to worry about too much.
Besides, his client sounds like someone with a real chip on his shoulder, so I imagine prison will soon give him other things to worry about.
My prediction: Norm Pattis outlives his client.
This is an extreme example. According to Criminal Lawyer Fort Lauderdale, this threaten is an obvious crime.
According to Windypudit, that comment was obvious spam.
