Taking the Adversarial System A Little Too Far
Mental note: Do not mess with lawyers in South Carolina. Don’t believe me? Just read the Charlotte Observer:
Conway Attorney Irby Walker was charged today with trying to hire someone to kill another attorney, according to police.Walker, 58, was charged with solicitation of a felony after Doug Thornton told police Sept. 11 that Walker had made threats against his life and believed he was trying to follow through on those threats, according to Horry County police Lt. Jamie DeBari.
According to The Sun News, the going price to take down a fellow member of the bar is $10,000.
Really? I mean, who can even afford that in this economy?
Irby Walker’s attorney responded to the charges with the Chewbacca defense:
“I know there’s some bad blood between [Walker and Thornton], but this entire thing defies comprehension, and I suggest it is illogical,” said Walker’s attorney, George McMaster, during the hearing. “He didn’t get a gun, he didn’t go try to go shoot somebody, he’s probably not capable of shooting somebody.”

Maybe we should find out his law school and consider it during the 2010 douchiest law school competition. I'm sorry, but ordering a hit on a fellow member of the bar is really being a douche about this whole adversial thing.
