Best lawyer ever: Woman tries to slash cop's throat, gets away with it

A Vermont woman was found not guilty of attempted murder. That's despite a security camera capturing her sneaking up behind a Rutland police officer with a knife.
Many who saw the video from December 2012 of 40-year-old Jennifer Berube approaching Rutland City police officer Damon Nguyen from behind with a knife were surprised that the Vermont woman walked free after a trial ended just under two weeks ago.
After the jury of eight women and four men viewed evidence, including the video, Soucy (jury) says they came to decision almost right away.
"At no point did she actually try to stab him or to cut him. She certainly put the knife in front of his face," said Soucy.
