A grieving Colorado uncle allegedly body-slammed the defense attorney who was representing his nephew’s accused killer, knocking him unconscious and fracturing his spine.
Daniel Ashby, 36, was charged with second-degree assault for using an “MMA-style takedown” on attorney H. Michael Steinberg inside the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Littleton, Colo., on Monday, CBS Colorado reported.
Ashby was attending a court hearing for 19-year-old Christopher Ramirez-Rodriguez, who is accused of running a red light and killing Ashby’s 12-year-old nephew in July.

In an email sent Tuesday, Steinberg told CBS Colorado he also suffered a “shattered pelvis,” was in “serious pain,” and is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday."
Some justice meted out, though the uncle is not a real good guy.
Not justice.
The attorney was just doing his job .
Now that’s what I call a “crazy uncle”!
Not justice.
The attorney was just doing his job .
We have a whole criminal justice system to prevent exactly this sort of thing.
Nasty stuff.
“The attorney was just doing his job .”
So were Nazi prison camp guards.
“We have a whole criminal justice system to prevent exactly this sort of thing.”
We have a legal system, not a justice system.
That’s a shame!
Anyway….
Agreed.
Now along with a dead child, an extended family will be dealing with an adult who will probably be incarcerated for several years.
Yeah, so were the concentration camp guards and gulag goons
Court records show the judge overseeing the case later warned both families against “taking justice into their own hands.”
The judges in this country suck. The justice system in this country suck. At this point, I would honestly like that whole system scrapped. I really think we would be better off if We The People just took out the trash. There isn't much trash and we could clean up this place pretty quick.
It wasn’t “grieving”, it was an assault to do great bodily harm, and just because he did it outside the courtroom doesn’t mean that he wasn’t looking for an audience.
Good grief, that’s ignorant.
Moron. The attorney has a job to do. Listen, a lot of times, we don’t even like our clients. Just because we advance their legal arguments, doesn’t mean we like our clients or excuse what they have done. Grow up, people.
“Ramirez-Rodriguez”
And no info on his immigration status. Legal? illegal?
Steinberg is about 69 years old. He obtained his undergraduate degree in 1978, probably at the age of 22.
So anarchy is the solution?
“Good grief, that’s ignorant.”
Coming from you, I’ll take that as a compliment.
“So anarchy is the solution?”
The British said that of our 1776 Revolution.
It is not working.
We have a system that is seen to protect criminals more often than not.
