Man in Wheelchair Tasered in Court After Attacking Attorney, Brought Back in Strapped to Chair & Wearing Spit Guard - Wendall Hollingsworth

Legally insane, or the lead contender for the 2008 Dumbass of the Year? Meet Wendall Hollingsworth, of Columbus, Ohio, accused of holding churchgoers at gunpoint during a robbery. He's seen being wheeled into court in a wheelchair, then for no reason starts kicking his court appointed attorney, before being tasered by a sheriff's deputy. And wait 'til you see the get up that had him when they finally brought him back into court! Here's more from Ohio News:
During the struggle to restrain him, a Franklin County Sheriff's deputy was inadvertently shocked by his partner's Taser.
Hollingsworth was immediately removed from the courtroom, but returned short time later, heavily restrained and wearing a spit guard.
Weisman and Judge Julie Lynch attempted to continue with the proceedings, but Hollingsworth interrupted and demanded to be taken back to his cell.
"Take me back to my cell," Hollingsworth said. "I don't want to be part of this farce. This is a farce. Why won't they let me fire you?"
Hollingsworth continued with an obscenity-laced rant against his attorney and the judge, 10TV News reported.
At one point, an attorney said the maximum sentence Hollingsworth could receive is 104 years.
"Give it to me now. Give me 250 years right now," Hollingsworth yelled. "It's unfair. How the (expletive) are you going to treat me fair? Aren't you a catholic? I'm charged with robbing a Catholic church."
