It's too bad that the defendent didn't have the presence of mind or strength
to grab the inkwell and hold it while she inserted the pen as many times as
she pleased. That would have carried the analogy to its logical and proper
conclusion. Or think of the scene there could have been if she'd pulled a
knife or gun and ordered the defense attorney to hold the inkwell still
while she worked the pen. (Ignoring, of course, the extreme probability she
wouldn't have those things handy.)
I'm not criticizing the woman, not at all. It's just one of those "scenes
you'd like to see".

Oops! I see I referred to the woman in the case as the "defendent" (i. e.,
defendant). Obviously she was the plaintiff (complainant?). Freudian slip,
I guess.
