Attorney Ian Friedman was caught by surprise when his client, T.J. Lane, the Ohio youth who pled guilty to shooting three high school students, removed his button down shirt at his murder sentencing hearing to reveal a t-shirt with the word ‘killer’ written in black marker.

Last month a Pennsylvania lawyer, Jason Schiffman, and his law firm, Schiffman & Wojdowski, were jointly fined $20,000 for the attorney’s Rule 11 violation when he failed to fully investigate what a federal judge characterized as a “frivolous gun malfunction case”.
