Florida Judge John Murphy and public defender Andrew Weinstock came to blows on Monday outside the courtroom.
Judge Murphy asked Weinstock to step outside where he started swinging at him.
This took place in a Brevard County Florida courthouse.
KMOV reported:
Things got heated between a judge and a public defender in a Florida courtroom Monday.
Judge John Murphy is heard on the surveillance camera using an expletive to describe how he will beat up public defender Andrew Weinstock.
WFTV reports it happened when the judge was pressuring Weinstock to get his client to waive his right to a speedy trial.
The two are seen walking out into the hallway.
Weinstock’s supervisor says the public defender thought they were going to talk it out in the hall, but says the judge threw punches at him.
