A thief learned the mistake of trying to steal a law student's laptop last week after after becoming a punching bag for an Arizona State student he tried to rip off. Armed with a baseball bat, the intruder, Gabriel Saucedo, allegedly climbed through an open window into Alex Botsios' apartment, waking the student and threatening to smash his head in.

Botsios was willing to let Saucedo take his wallet and guitars. Then the robber made the mistake that ultimately landed him in the hospital -- he went for the laptop. According to Botsios, he said "Dude, no -- please, no! I have all my case notes...that's four months of work!" Saucedo, obviously underestimating the fury of an overstressed, overworked first-year, was unsympathetic. That's when Botsios could take no more.

Wrestling Saucdeo to the floor, Botsios separated the bat from the thief and repeatedly punched him in the face. When it was all over, police had to get Saucedo stitched up before charging him with armed robbery and kidnapping, while Botsios only suffered some scrapes and a bruised knuckle. Most importantly, at least to the student, is that his laptop, which he called "his baby," escaped unharmed. Next time, Saucedo might want to try robbing a third-year student, as they're generally more docile.

All I can say is, hurray for civil justice! :awesome:

Nice scars, poor mans tattoos!

I'm always worried that in a case where I find myself in a fight or needing to punch, my punch will be lame... even though I'm fairly strong and very fit. I would've snatched the baseball bat, twat him over the head and make him bite the curb. Then cut off his arms and legs. Oops, too much Fallout 3 on the last bit.

Psh. Fists. Considering I'm a fairly strong sprinter, I'd have gone straight for the 8" cutlery. The fact that I have no inhibitions on aggression is a plus as well. :)

Lol im a law student. Well pre-law major two more years till i go to law school. I cant imagine loosing four months of case notes and files and bries. They take time and effort to write. You cant go back and rewatch the case once its done. Then you have t et someones else briefs and files. Which is rather hard.

Tsk tsk, what kind of lawyer isn't smart enough to back up their files regularly?!? Don't want this guy handling my major felony case.

That being said ... heck no, don't rob a law student, they're intimately familiar with the legal grounds for using deadly force in your state!
