A West Virginia lawyer has been stripped of his license after pleading guilty to beating a client with a baseball bat.
Joshua Robinson chased his client, David Gump, down the road in 2009 and pummeled him with the bat after Gump accused Robinson of pocketing a $1,100 settlement check, the Charleston Gazette reported last week.
He was sentenced to one to five years of home confinement after he pleaded guilty to unlawful wounding in 2010. To add insult to injury, the West Virginia Supreme Court annulled Robinson's law license last week and ruled he has to take anger management classes.
This isn't Robinson's first brush with violent crime.
He was convicted in February 2010 of throwing a propane tank into the back window of his wife's car while a child was inside the car, according to the Gazette.
He was also reportedly convicted of fourth-degree aggravated assault in 1995.
