NEW YORK TIMES = THE policy that led to the release of most of the nation's mentally ill patients from the hospital to the community is now widely regarded as a major failure. Sweeping critiques of the policy, notably the recent report of the American Psychiatric Association, have spread the blame everywhere, faulting politicians, civil libertarian lawyers and psychiatrists.
This judge let him skate before. She was part of the revolving door with this guy for years. Hopefully she adjusts her world view after this

Steve you can Thank the LCAU for destroying the mental health system !
I believe it was the Judge's partial statement before sentencing that sent the man over the edge. "…I think he needs a taste of something else" combined with the likely stress & guilt of the defendant. Now he's getting the time he probably deserves but the judge definitely earned that scare. I'm stressing to my cousin who wants to be a judge to have empathy even for the guilty and to give sentences with impartial kindness so that she doesn't become a target of revenge.
Prisons are mental institutions without treatment.
i would think some of the charges like the attempted murder could be harder to prove. unless ofc started to strangle the judge or had a weapon in his hand or stabbed a sharp pencel towards the judges throat.
i think the leagel system have a higer standard for when you can stand trail in norway than what it sounds like the us have and if someone goes on killing several people at once and they have mental problems they will be sent to mental institution untill they are well. there was a case in norway a few years ago with someone going on a killing sprea and killed several people and was sentenced to a stay at a mental institution and not prison. the location it happend was Kongsberg. so might be able to find info about the case outside of norway.
Dude realized he had lost the game and decided to metaphorically “flip the board”
He did not try. He flew over the bench and attacked the judge. Sad yet amusing…
On one hand, I understand about people like this "not getting the help they need", but at some point it's someone's responsibility to address such issues, whether it's a guardian, a family member, or the patient themselves.
A person is expected to participate in the society of which they are part. If the person doesn't like it, they can try to get it changed or find a better one. The society has a right, on behalf of its other members, to punish the perpetrators of anti-social behavior and protect them from it.
Yeah, he would probably benefit from getting help. But that doesn't make him any less responsible for his actions. He made the choice to jump the bench. Maybe that choice was heavily influenced by his brain chemistry, but it's still HIS brain chemistry. If we continue doing this, we might as well abolish prisons completely and being back the old asylums, because nobody in their right mind would do something to go to prison!
Isn’t it funny how he attacks a judge and now all of a sudden he actually attacks somebody that matters and will face consequences?
If he been in prison before and been paroled or let out before, then saying that prison wouldn't help him is rubbish as he allready proven he can "tow the line" in there.
The thing about video/audio recordings is they make whoever watches them a witness to the event. No fuzzy memory, no misinterpretations, just cold hard facts.
He didn't decide to jump over the bench, he flew over that desk.
I am sure some race grifter will say he attacked the judge to feed his starving kids.
I personally think this guy showed he's a total idiot. He was looking at probably looking at a short time in prison. Now he's looking at decades, possibly he's going to be incarcerated forever. I wouldn't want to spend any time behind bars, I know what this is like and I have no intention of ever spending any more time in a jail cell.
He didnt "try" to jump over the bench, he did.
I guess he was not happy with the judge, or something.
"Evil and has an out for me" … yup that sounds like schizophrenia alright, my mom had it and thankfully she was never violent but she did have habits and tendencies that showed up whenever she wasn't taking her meds which made her act like a completely different person, everyone was evil to the point some people actually started "growing devil horns".
If the guy in this story doesn't have meds that are effective and he's just constantly untreated he's probably going to be what the doctors call "deranged" and his attorney should have absolutely used the insanity defense because this situation is exactly what that defense is there for, the man needs to be in a psychiatric ward where he can get treatment not in prison.
Bro looked like they were gonna put him next to Hannibal Lecter in the lockup 😂
Steve, question… I've heard different legal opinions on this. Why can't the judge increase the sentence based on this act of (alleged) criminal contempt.
The judge has to keep out undue bias, but when it happens right in front of her (to her) then the bias is no longer undue… it's in plain sight in her own courtroom.
Isn't that a case where undue bias would not apply?
Did the pre-sentencing report mention he was prone to sudden and unexpected losses of self control?
The Big House. Driven by it so many times I couldn't even put a number to it. It was cool up until they added the suites that overhang Main Street (sarcasm but not far off).
Man with anger fits gets fitted for mitts.
If he's mentally ill I hope he's ok and gets his treatment as I have a family member which suffers from it so I understand.
Hope the judge is also ok as well but making it worse for a person with mental illness isn't a solution.
I learned not to take things personally and try to understand it better.
Not really, it's just a suggestion anyway, she can still ignore it and throw the book at him.
Yo dawg i herd u liek sentencing
Steve, as a Steve, I really enjoy your videos as do not known shit about the law. What I have learned is not to talk to police without a lawyer present and never consent to a search. Thanks you.
An grande display, mes amis,
of athleticism, leaping the bench…what ?
Mental issues or mental illness is not an excuse. Period. What is rarely talked about is that these people who lose it like that have already been treated by psychiatrists usually with drugs.
If it was in Canada he should be classified as a dangerous offender. They do that in Canada to people that are very likely to reoffend if released. This allows for them to keep being incarcerated even after they finish serving their sentence. So once he is let’s say 80 years old and too weak to attack anyone else he would be released because he would have to be released.
Duhhh
I think what is needed is a system that allows judges to sentence criminals with known mental diagnosis to a mental facility even if they are competent to stand trial. a 10 year sentence in prison vs a 10 year sentence at a high security mental facility is the same thing as far as society is concerned but the latter actually having the potential for rehabilitation unlike the for profit prisons of America
In Kentucky, we are trying out a Mental Health Court, where defendants with mental health issues who have committed crimes are referred.
Hes the "Defendant", its defense, not an attack.
"Punches were thrown"…. In court, if they got to come get you they're going to bring a beating!
And Go Wolverines
That leap was something I’ve seen on National Geographic
Hearing the mental illness thing makes a lot of sense. Very unfortunate and probably explains his history/ previous crimes. Idk his chances with all these charges though. A padded cell or regular cell seems likely. Kinda wonder how it would have been if he was treated earlier, although I'm sure there's many others with similar mental illness cases behind bars.
Didnt see the hundred however, I did spot the coin on the book…Is that a silver eagle? 🙂
Now, who else remembers an old Mad Magazine (or a related publication) cartoon about a crime committed in a baseball stadium in front of 50,000 witnesses, and the prosecutor, determined to finally beat defense attorney Perry Mason, announces that he will call all the witnesses in alphabetical order: "Anthony A. Aardvark, take the stand please."
Not condoning his actions by any means, but charging him with attempted murder seems like a stretch
For most human beings, visuals are ALWAYS more compelling than verbal descriptions, partly because the verbal must be translated into imagery in the receiver's mind.
I saw a report about the attack, where someone described him as "Supermanning" over the bench. If you look at the video, I'd say that was a pretty accurate description.
Its sad in america we believe that jail is usually the solution for mental illness problems.
its very sad.. that mentally ill dont get proper help..but the laws say they cant be committed to institutions any more.. crazy laws
Other news outlets have reported that the judge gave him the same original 4 year sentence. At this hearing, he was shackled and chained like Hannibal Lector. Talking full chains, spit hood, foam padding on his hands, and 8 deputies behind him with tasers at the ready. Now he is facing something like 15 new charges. Now here is the deal, when you put hands on a judge, you are invoking the wrath of the entire judiciary. Sentencing recommendations, are just that, recommendations. Judges do have some leeway when it comes to how much time a person can be incarcerated. If they want to make an example of of a person, judges can sentence each sentence to be served consecutively resulting in additional decades in prison. This dude may end up serving an effective life sentence by the time they get done with him.
