Criminally Dumb Criminal of the Day

After his neighbor attacked him last month, Mark Rudolph called police and was able to get a restraining order until his trial. He said his neighbor's constant threats and harassment made him afraid to walk around the neighborhood. Little did Rudolph know, he'd have more to fear in court than at home. On Monday Rudolph came to the hall of justice to testify against his neighbor Blaine Harper for the April assault. But when Harper saw him in court, he attacked him again using a three foot tree branch, and cracking his rib. The tree branch isn't something that would set off a metal detector and Rudolph actually watched his neighbor carry it through security, but he never imagined that Harper would attack him in open court.
