Keep in mind that this sentence is not for the assault on the judge, this is the sentence that the judge did not have a chance to pronounce. His assault will just pile on several more years.

[MichellePhillipsNC]

He was coherent when addressing the court...until he didn't get his way.

[Vertical_Gotham]

He should not be allowed in public. He cannot control his behavior.

[GrfKvlt]

The fact of the matter is that if someone will attack a JUDGE like that, imagine what he has or will do to someone else.

[whooptydoo]

The family is ridiculous. 🙄 if that was enough to "trigger" him then he DONT need to be in public.

[SussexSandra]

Blimey, from no protection to surrounded by guards, nuzzled & chained. One extreme to the other.
His own damned fault.
Kudos to the judge for being professional and conducting herself the same way.

While I love how people are now taking mental health seriously, I also hate how people are now using it as an excuse for their own actions instead of taking accountability.

"Deep inside, he's a good person."

No, he isn't. He's had multiple domestic violence charges, and he assaulted a judge after trying to convince her that he's a changed person. There's no chance that he'll be rehabilitated, and he should not be released back into the public.

[jasminebaby]

Wow the sister is not holding him any accountable. What a shame!!! Hold on, did she say the system has failed him! What about his parents and family have failed him.

[dennis]

He knew how to plead and act all nice when he tried to get off without going to prison, only when he got no from the judge, did his so-called mental condition activate.
The judge was not falling for his acting performance, so he got angry. This guy is a monster.

[ericpratt]

So instead of his sister holding him accountable for attacking a FEMALE JUDGE, she decides to defend him by saying that he has mental illness. If him slamming this woman's head to a wall, ripping her hair off, and trying to kill her doesn't make her realize that he's a freaking menace, then what will?

3:40 Saying some, "I don't think sending him to prison will deter anybody who suffers from a mental illness." Like get the heck out of here with that.

[tkenglander]

I appreciate all the extra protection she has available in court while this defendant is there. She has the right to feel safe as does anyone else in that courtroom.

Family throwing the “mental illness” card reminds me of Darrell Brooks mother. Pathetic

[rayl]

No, don't give me excuses for this. All he had to do was not attack a judge. He clearly needs help but he knows the difference between right and wrong.

[mollywoolsey]

He knows right from wrong. Shame on him, attacking this judge when he didn’t get his way. He’s dangerous and needs some prison time. Stop making excuses for him.

[lalypriast]

The sister and foster mother never mentioned the judge, the risk she faced because of her brother/son, no empathy, whatsoever, like him.

[EastTexasMama]

His sister and foster mother are contributing to his lack of accountability. It’s hard to watch. There’s no remorse and just blaming the judge for “triggering” him. It’s hard to watch.

[ItsTarotMon]

The foster mom and sister saying it was triggering to have the Judge finish her sentencing…… ENABLERS 💯

[Jennstaple]

Mental health issues are not an excuse to break the law. If he can’t handle words from a judge without keeping his hands to himself he needs to be locked up!

[LITTLE]

Anyone who attacks a judge like that is certainly a dangerous individual.
