These two Lawyers are brother-in-laws. I'd have loved to seen it. I bet they have interesting family get togethers.

I hate when redneck brothers fight over their sister.

Bartels fell to the ground.

Sounds like the seventy-one year old dude put a whuppin' on that boy!

And to think...so many of my fellow Louisianians are worried about what we'll do after cockfighting is banned.

I think an entire industry could grow out of attorney altercations and barrister brawls.

Both Fawer and Bartels said they would appeal the judge's ruling.

Nothing like taking a bad three day story, and dragging it out for months. This will be in the news when they do file their appeals. And when the case is argued before the Court of Appeals. And when the Court of Appeals hands down its ruling. And when they appeal that ruling to the Louisiana Supreme Court. I doubt the LA Supremes will grant oral argument, but the case will be in the news when they rule. And when, after the appeals are exhausted, the case is sent back to the trial court. And everybody in the legal profession for three parishes around will be laughing each step of the way.

The story says one of them was represented in Court by his wife. It is often bad for your friend to be your lawyer. These guys needed a lawyer who would tell them: "You got in a fight with another lawyer in the hall of the Court House. There is no way you can come out of this not looking bad, and the longer it goes on, the worse you look. You can't win this one, you can just limit how badly you lose. Go into Court, apologize to the Judge, then shut your mouth and accept the sentence."
