Defendant Richard Glawson can forget about any sympathy from the jury at his next trial. According to this story in the Boston Herald, after the trial judge refused the prosecutor's request to have Glawson shackled, he sucker-punched an elderly juror, then had to be pulled off of him.
At the time, Glawson was on trial for home burglary, starting a shootout at a mall, carjacking a woman's car, breaking into another home, shooting a disabled man’s dog, carjacking two more vehicles, and shooting a police officer in the hand.
Apparently, incidents like this are not unusual in the Bay State. As the Herald article notes, "Chaos in Massachusetts courts, where the officers are unarmed, is becoming almost as common as jury duty."
