Kevin Reddington has been here before.
Since the 80s, the Massachusetts-based lawyer hired by Lindsay
Clancy has been defending women accused of murder.
He’s made a name for himself along the way.
Not only for defending the longtime girlfriend of notorious
mob boss Whitey Bulger, played by Johnny Depp in the movie Black Mass. Not only
for his against-all-odds victories, like the acquittal he won in a case where a
woman was accused of killing her boyfriend after stabbing his eyes out.
But he’s also gained some fame from his courtroom antics, partly
on display this week in the Clancy trial.
On Thursday, in a heated discussion with the judge,
Reddington raised his voice, slammed a stack of papers, then sat in agitation, angrily
adjusting his coffee mug.
For those who have followed his career, it was a watered-down
version of Reddington.
In another courtroom, in 1989, he reportedly threw a set of
ninja stars across the room to demonstrate their lethality.
