The video - no doubt immortalized on YouTube by now - depicts a disgruntled criminal defendant complaining to the judge about how ineffective his public defender has been. Growing increasingly agitated, the defendant suddenly lunges forward and begins punching the public defender repeatedly before being restrained by bailiffs.
