‘Burn In Hell, You Piece Of S***!’: Person In Court Room Erupts At Convicted Waukesha Murderer

A person in the courtroom where a Wisconsin man was convicted for ramming his vehicle into a Christmas parade last year was thrown out of court on Wednesday after he shouted at the now-convicted murderer as the verdicts were read.

The killer, who The Daily Wire is not naming due to company policy about not giving notoriety to mass murderers, sat quietly with his hands over his face as Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow read the guilty verdicts from the jury on all 76 charges.

“Burn in hell, you piece of s***!” a man yelled as the verdicts were read.

“Hey, you are to be removed right now,” Dorow snapped back. “We will not do that.”

The remarks from the man were widely praised online as people celebrated the guilty verdicts.

The trial has been marked by numerous outbursts from the defendant, including constantly interrupting the judge, removing his shirt during the trial livestream, taking off his shoe and threatening to throw it when officers were escorting him, and refusing to wear a suit as he had done during previous hearings. Earlier this month, the defendant, who is defending himself, argued with a witness by claiming he no longer identified by his name.

The defendant was questioning Waukesha Police Detective Thomas Casey, who was at the parade and tried to stop the vehicle that crashed into the crowd. During his questioning, the defendant asked Casey to describe a “disturbance” he heard just before the attack, which resulted in the following exchange:

Casey: I heard a horn beeping, and then a Ford Escape came through the parade route, and you drove past me and wouldn’t stop and you continued driving through the parade route.

Defendant: Who is you?

Casey: [Suspect’s name], the defendant seated at the table.

Defendant: Uh, let the record reflect that I do not identify by that name nor do I know anybody by that name.

Judge Dorow: The objection is noted.

Just days later, the defendant demanded his case be dismissed because there were no victims present to face him, The Daily Wire reported.

“Where’s the injured party? Is the injured party present in court right now?” the defendant asked in court. “Can anyone, can anyone make a claim against me? Can you make a claim against me, your honor?”

“Do you know anyone that can make a claim against me, your honor? Can anyone right now in court, anyone, make a claim against me?” he continued. “And because of that, your honor, the motion to dismiss should be granted based on that alone. There is no injured party in this matter. So, who makes the claim? Who?”

Heavy.com, a fact-finding website, and various journalists online highlighted posts on social media accounts that allegedly belonged to the killer. Those posts appeared to express anti-Christian sentiment, disdain for Republican politicians and conservative media, and promoted “black nationalist rhetoric.”
