Lawyer drops dead while arguing case

Friday, April 21, 2006; Posted

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.

Emergency personnel arrived less than six minutes later.

Farris had previous heart problems, said Duncan McMillan, a friend and fellow lawyer.

McMillan said neither the rescue workers nor the court building had defibrillators, which can sometime revive patients by delivering shocks to the heart.

The county allocated money last year to buy the paddles but has been studying where they are needed.

The courthouse should have at least four defibrillators before June, county spokeswoman Sharon Brown said.

Seriously.


Im not losing any sleep over attorneys.

 

[dr. freeze]

just think how much stress the trial lawyers inflict upon innocent victims whose bank accounts they plunder

add that stress to the extra fees we all pay directly into their pockets as an unneccessary cost of doing business goes right into the pockets of these brief-cased mobsters

soon we wont be able to obtain any medication at all as they run all the drug companies out of business and steal insurance money raising the prices for us all
