Wow--a little nugget from the background of the aggressor:

Wednesday’s incident is not the first time Scott has been behind bars. According to the Courier-Journal, the attorney was at the center of a sensational court case in the 1980s when, as a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, he was convicted of raping and attempting to kill a fellow Marine’s wife at the Quantico military base in Virginia.

Scott, a Louisville native, was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but the verdict was later overturned on the grounds he received ineffective counsel from his civilian lawyer, the Courier-Journal reported.

The Washington Post in 1988 covered his second military trial, at the end of which he was exonerated by the military jury of charges of attempted murder, rape, sodomy and abduction.

Scott, who had spent four years in Fort Leavenworth, wept silently, the Post reported.

“with blood covering his white suit...”

Is there some kind of law in Kentucky that says lawyers have to wear white suits?

Fun fact: another Kentuckian famous for his white suits, Colonel Sanders, was also a lawyer, and he got into a courtroom brawl too, but with his own client.

The last problem started when his folks names him “Lindsay”. That only works out if you can get the part to work play “The Bionic Woman”.
