Terrorist Aiding Mom's Son Abused?
Joshua Monson, Charged With Murder, Can't Stop Stabbing His Lawyers
![]() |
He's charged with the January shooting death of Brian Jones. Now he's having a little difficulty maintaining his courtroom decorum.
Tom Cox was his first lawyer. But Monson apparently wasn't happy with his professional skills. So he snuck a pencil out of jail and stabbed Cox in the neck while they were in court.
Cox wasn't seriously hurt, but he decided to resign from the case, making it the first incident in legal history where a lawyer has turned down billable hours.
So Monson was assigned a second lawyer, Gurjit Pandher. But once again, he decided to stab him with a pencil too. Pandher wasn't hurt -- it seems Monson is way better at shooting than he is at stabbing. But Pandher also resigned from the case.
Now, to make sure someone will defend Monson in court, a judge has decided to have his arms strapped to a chair whenever he appears. He'll also undergo a medical examination to see if he's crazy -- or if he's just a Good Samaritan trying to rid the world of a plague.

A big problem is, stabbing a lawyer is not a trait of an insane person. <a href="http://www.LawyerKent.Info">Lawyer Kent</a> | <a href="http://www.PersonalInjuryLawyerKent.Co">Personal Injury Lawyer Kent</a>

Criminal defense attorneys are a "plague?" Have you ever heard of the Sixth Amendment? As in, the little part that requires those accused of crimes involving jail time to have attorneys? Apparently not. Just because you cannot understand why someone would want to do this job does not mean that criminal defense lawyers are the scum of the earth who deserve to be stabbed. It is especially funny that you make these comments based on complete ignorance of the legal system so there's clearly no reason to even criticize you.

hahahahahahahaha! lawyer jokes! so f'n funny and original!
-
I am with you on this - people talk all kinds of shit on those in the law profession(s) but as soon as their dumb ass needs some help or they see some sort of way to get something for nothing -- they will not think twice about contacting an attorney.
-
Yes, because everyone knows all 150,000 children in foster care are treated horribly by their social workers. And, you're right- only the GUILTY need an attorney. How silly of me. We should just instinctively know who the guilty are and assign them defense attorneys thusly. I bet we'd need only one or two criminal defense attorneys per state! You're a genius!
-
This is priceless (and true, oh so true): "We're not sure if stabbing lawyers should be considered a crime -- or merely a thoughtful act of community service."
-
Did anyone read the story about him? He shot Brian Jones. The cops found this guy covered with blood, maybe from the shooting, maybe from a pit pull attack his meth buddy set on him. He and 3 other people were hanging out in an apartment getting high on meth when he shot this guy who was a meth dealer while he was talking on the phone. Didn't say if he shot him b/c of the pit bull attack or not. He takes out meth dealers and attacks attorneys? Is he really a bad guy?
-
you should stick to your day job.... it obviously isn't comedic
-
LOL you are on the wrong site for objectivity
-
And we know how great soc. workers are. LOL. Glad to see those kiddies are in good hands. Most likely, only the guilty would need an attorney , otherwise, they prob. wouldn't be charged with the crime in the first place.
-
True.
-
yes but then there are the insanely stupid, that just keep wasting my oxygen
-
There is a big difference between insanity and stupidity. It's not hard to see the difference here.
-
If it wasn't for lawyers we wouldn't need them!
-
You can speak ill of lawyers all you want. Just wait til' you're charged with some crime and you NEED one. BTW, most public defenders get paid crap. As do the attorneys paid to represent the children in the system. Nobody goes into those areas of law because they're in it for the money. They're more like social workers with much, MUCH, bigger student loans.
-
As a guy, maybe he did not like being surrounded by Cox.
-
It is a beautiful thing. Yes!
-
The writer is a dumb@$$. Are you seriously advocating violence against lawyers? Find out where they sell objectivity and pick yourself up the value pack!
-
Pete just has one hell of a funny way to write his stories...
-
finally someone who has an intelligent funny comment.
-
What a nut.
-
The guy is savvy enough to know that time spent in the county jail, waiting for trial, is a hell of a lot easier than time in prison, serving a sentence. Pending trial, the guy is presumed innocent. He gets television, visitors, decent food, all kinds of privileges. And the time he spends in jail waiting for trial will be credited towards his sentence. He knows he's going away - he's just gaming the system to get as much easy time as he can. And the more he does it, the more respect ("street cred") he gets from the other prisoners and cons. From his perspective, what's to lose?
-
Is that illegal now ? damn republicans ....
-
That's awesome! Sucks that you got busted, but very clever, I like ....=)
-
Why thank you my dear. =)
-
depends on the lawyer. some do find them funny. . but some do not. I knew one lawyer that carried thanks to his job. a sam's club sized container of tums.
-
OMG, I think this guy should be allowed as many trials as possible.
-
more like great way to prove he is insane in the menbrain
-
He's stabbin' in order to work up an insantiy defense. He's just a dangerous asshole.
-
lol, give him a sharper pencil and set him lose at a lawyer convention lol. www.privacy-online.us.tc
-
Shakespeare fan?
-
Ha! hilarious writing, whoa! So fresh and original. Way to stick it to da friggin' lawyer. Hey, I can do it too. Wow, who knew it would be so easy. But, still not funny. You should probably stick to fortune cookies rather than attempt "real" writing . . .

He is evil like Liang Yaoqiang, who Jailed After Stabbing his Girlfriend 200 Times. http://funnyandspicy.com/liang-yaoqiang-jailed-after-stabbing-girlfriend-200-times

:D Hey, you know what the problem w/ lawyer jokes is? Lawyers don't think they're funny, and nobody else thinks they're jokes. Mmm hmmm. As a general rule, I hate lawyers ('cept Kris and a few choice others).
-
What parents?
-
Give him a break, he was just trying to fill the holes in his defense..
-
He's not crazy.. He's evil.. There is a difference!! Defense lawyers and such always come up with the excuse "their client is crazy", like the idiot in Tucson- Jared.. They aren't crazy, they are the spawns of Satan!! Kill this bastard!!!! No trial, just send him to the freaking chair so he can be reunited with his daddy, Lucifer!!!!
-
These parents are fu**ing low lifes!!!!!
-
I have to say, if I was him, I would just lay back in that chair, go to sleep and wait for the guilty verdict.
-
If I can't make lawyer jokes, Captain, what's the point of being an American?
-
.
-
lol you're so evil... just what I like about you
-
I'd love to sprinkle some itching powder on him while his arms are strapped down, all over his ball bag. Just for fun.
-
I think the first time he stabbed his own lawyer was all it took to ruin whatever "light" he was in. It screams guilty, guilty, guilty. He didn't stab him somewhere harmless either, he stabbed him in his freakin' neck. To me it looks like he wanted to kill the guy. Should lawyers continue to be stabbed and possibly killed so this moron won't (doubt he'd ever come up with it anyway) attempt to take the court to court? Either way it makes them look like dumb asses (it's slang) .
-
He'll also undergo a medical examination to see if he's crazy -- or if he's just a Good Samaritan trying to rid the world of a plague. personally due to my recent grievance against a "lawyer" that was denied..yes i was denied the right to file a complaint against a lawyer..by .. hmm a group of lawyers..yup how sad is that...so she can go on ruining others financial lives...anyway....blah blah blah
-
Dude's trying to get insanity, clearly.

Hey my2 morning
-
Hi @ m2c, everyone! LOL, Batsu .... "lawyer-kebobs." :D Interesting visual.
-
Think about it, though - he may be wilier than you think. If there is no question as to your guilt that would ever hold up in a court of law, your next best course of action is to prove your "insanity". ;) Damn, I should've been a lawyer.
-
hey hey CA good to see ya
-
Quite.

morning shyla

Well, in the legal world, the idea is to provide everyone (*everyone*) with a fair legal trial by a jury of their peers. Having him tied-down would have (he could have legally argued) prevented the jury from seeing him in a fair light so it makes sense that they did not tie him down intitialy.. At this point, however, since he's done it twice, the court was justified in doing so. The whole reason for all of it is so that Monson can not come back later and get a mistrial because the judge/prosecution tainted the juries' minds against him by tying him up like a criminal. (Yes, he could have claimed this and, yes, it's very likely he would have won had the court here not been wise and patient.) There is a reason for all that they do, and in this case, they did the right thing. They are hardly "dumb asses" (sic). Had they been, they'd of tied him up immediately - opening the door for Monson to slap all of them with all sorts of ridiculous accusations about tampering with his civil rights and opening the door for a huge mistrial, which could have let him walk someday for killing an innocent person.
-
He looks like such a dope tied to a chair. How did he get ahold of a pencil for the second time? Throw his ass out of the courtroom!
-
Wowsa....I mean, wow. Still LOLing at the line "it seems Monson is way better at shooting than he is at stabbing."
-
Note to prison: Monson only gets crayons from now on... As far as the whole insanity thing...you have to show you do not know right from wrong. If that was the case, he'd be stabbing at everyone, all the time. He would not be waiting until the judge saw him trying to make lawyer-kebobs.
-
He's just trying to fit in with the mentality of the state and legal system. He's doing a great job, too b/c they should have tied his arms after the first stabbing, dumb asses.
-
Yea, looks like hes going all out. Proving hes a Jackass maybe, insane NO. lol
-
Several yrs ago I was called for jury duty in federal court. Two brothers (or cousins?) charged w/ operating a big drug ring. Dury jury selection one of them stood up and starting loudly talking about the corrupt system, and how they were being framed, and they had proof, etc. The judge admonished him, but to no avail. Eventually they were removed f/ the courtroom for the remainder of jury selection. I didn't make it onto the jury, but I sure wasn't surprised when I heard they were found guilty. Morons.
-
Sounds like someone working really hard on his insanity defense? You think?
-
Aw, Pete, c'mon. Can't you specify "criminal defense attorney?" *pouts*
-
My first thought exactly!
-
great way to prove your innocence.
