The attorney in this photo is Jason Craddock, Sr. According to
the Chicago Tribune (source for this
post), most of his practice involves "litigating pro-life, pro-Christian
and pro-family values cases."
Courtney Lindbert is opposing counsel in an employment
discrimination case involving Mr. Craddock. Addressing the court, she
complained that Mr. Craddock missed several filing deadlines.
Away from court, Mr. Craddock sent Ms. Lindbert an email stating, “Cuntney Lindbitch … Your days of filing unnecessary, frivolous
motions and abusing and harassing attorneys with disabilities will come to an
end.” (Mr. Craddock told the court he could not comply with deadlines because he
suffers from severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.)
Adding insult, his email signature also “referenced two
Biblical passages: Proverbs 21:30, which reads "There is no wisdom, no
insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord," and John 3:3, a
passage about being reborn through baptism in order to enter the kingdom of God
(Chicago Tribune).”
Mr. Craddock has been suspended from practicing in federal
court for a year, and instructed to seek anger management therapy. The penalty
was imposed by a panel of federal judges. They weren’t being “PC.” Their
judgment was that Mr. Craddock "intended to intimidate" opposing
counsel in her representation of her client.
