Fair Warning: Renowned Heckler Head to Mem Gym
The Washington Post has an item today about a mysterious heckler who turned up at University of Maryland wrestling matches. He turns out to be the semi-famous (in D.C. circles) Robin Ficker, once the scourge of visiting teams at the Cap Centre, who has now adopted the Terp wrestling team as the latest “beneficiary” of his efforts. And he says he’s coming to Charlottesville on Saturday for the Terps’ 1 p.m. match with U.Va.
Cavalier fans, it might be time to get out and support your wrestling team.

For example, on August 3, 1995, in exclusive Potomac, Maryland, Robin Ficker, 52, a prominent lawyer and former Maryland state legislator, was driving his two sons to see his ailing father at Holy Cross Hospital. Suddenly Ficker’s 1990 Jeep Cherokee bumped into a newer model Jeep in front of him. The driver, Caroline Goldman, was six months pregnant.
Goldman reported that when she approached Ficker’s car he became very agitated, pointing at her and yelling. “He seemed to be out of control,” she said, and reported that Ficker struck her in the face, breaking her prescription sunglasses and giving her a black eye that lasted for ten days. Ficker was convicted of battery and malicious destruction of property.

Saying he has finally learned his lesson, a contrite and oft- disciplined Robin K. A. Ficker asked the Court of Appeals on Thursday to reinstate the law license it has withheld from him for 17 months for leaving several clients in the lurch.
Pressing his own case before the judges, Ficker — who has been sanctioned five times by the high court — said he understands that another ethical misstep would result in his disbarment.
