Attorney David Winterton was in the middle of cross-examining a witness when he suddenly collapsed to the floor after suffering cardiac arrest. Within seconds, opposing counsel Matt Johnson rushed to his side. Johnson quickly realized Winterton had stopped breathing and had no pulse. Drawing on CPR training he learned as an 11-year-old Scout more than four decades earlier, he immediately began chest compressions, despite never having performed CPR in a real-life emergency.
