Subject: Assault rap for rough handshake

Full Report on BBC News Online
A Florida lawyer has been charged with assault for over-vigorously shaking the hand of a fellow attorney.
Kathy Brewer Rentas, 49, shook the hand of Assistant US Attorney Jennifer Keene so hard her arm was nearly ripped out of its socket, a court official said.
Moments before, Ms Keene successfully prosecuted Ms Brewer Rentas' husband.
Anthony Rentas was accused of violating the terms of a probation order for supplying cocaine, and sentenced to 90 days of house arrest.
After the hearing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Mrs Brewer Rentas insisted on shaking the prosecuting lawyer's hand.
In shaking it, she nearly floored Ms Keene with the vigour of her hand-action.

I'm not sure what to make of that. A lawyer suing a lawyer over a rough handshake. I'm sure this story will spawn at least a few lawyer jokes.

Apparently when she took hold of the other woman's hand she then yanked it forward whilst stepping back at the same time, then pushed it down which caused her to loose her balance and then fall to the floor. Not exactly a 'hand shake' !
