Fresh from a trial in which he sucker punched an elderly juror, Boston's baddest boy, Richard Glawson, addressed the jury considering his fate on another set of charges and, innovative trial tactician that he is, he started his closing argument as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'll kill all of you" and concluded this pithy argument with "That goes for your family, too."
Alas, this innovative approach failed and the jury convicted him. He was sentenced to 45 years by a judge he apparently forgot to threaten to kill. If Glawson is convicted by another jury on the juror-punching charge (are you keeping this all straight?), that sentence will start to run after the 45 years he got for his conviction by the jury he threatened to kill.
I wonder what those Northwestern professors think about this verdict?

Well, there's no law saying one has to have a brain.
Good grief!
