EVERETT -- An inmate at the Snohomish County Jail who allegedly stabbed his lawyer in the neck with a pencil earlier this week reportedly did the same thing again Friday.
Joshua Monson, 27, was in court for a motion Friday to stay action in his criminal cases so he can receive a mental health evaluation at Western State Hospital.
On Monday, Monson allegedly stabbed defense attorney Tom Cox. On Friday, he was in a hearing being conducted at the jail with the judge participating by video link, as reported by The Herald's news partner, KIRO-7.
That's when Monson's new attorney, Gurjit Pandher, was attacked.
Contacted after the hearing, Pandher declined to talk about what happened.
Pandher was not seriously hurt, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said. He was checked over by a nurse and continued with his workday.
Monson is facing a murder trial after he was accused of shooting a man in the head in a south Everett apartment in January. Witnesses told detectives that Monson and the victim, Brian Jones, were rivals because of their mutual interest in Jones' girlfriend.
Monson allegedly stabbed Cox during jury selection for a 2010 drug case. He was assigned a new lawyer Thursday.

It was Friday, the 13th. I'm sure the pencil was talking to him and told him to do it.

The pencil is not mightier than the sword. Time for this “mentally ill” person who knew exactly what he was doing to die by the sword, methinks.

Maybe next time he’s in court and wants to take notes, one of those broad felt tip markers would make more sense.

Soooo, then it’s illegal to stick a pencil in a lawyer?

I guess he wanted his lawyer to get the point.

That lawyer needs to get the lead out.

Sounds like he’s the most sane person there.

Dummy. With lawyers, it’s a wooden stake through the heart.
