"RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- A defense lawyer was arguing a drunken driving case when he fell on the courtroom floor and died of an apparent heart attack, officials and friends said. Bailiffs and a police officer tried to administer CPR immediately after 57-year-old Tom Farris collapsed Thursday in the Wake County courthouse. "

Only people accused of the crimes that benefit society actually deserve defense, lawyers who defend people accused of bad crimes deserve to die.
