An Oakland, California murder suspect faces additional charges after freeing himself from restraints in a courtroom on Monday morning and stabbing his attorney in the face and head with a pen before turning his angst toward the prosecutor.

The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that 28-year-old Ramello Randle was attending his homicide trial at the A.F. Bray Courthouse in Martinez, California at about 10:55 a.m. on Monday when he attacked his attorney with a pen. He then went to attack the district attorney, who the sheriff’s office said was able to push him off.

The East Bay Times reported that the incident was witnessed by a Contra Costa jury, which is tasked with determining whether Randle is guilty of murdering his ex-girlfriend in July 2020, as well as attempting to murder a man as a child custody dispute was underway.

Always a good choice in front of the jury.



On the other hand, maybe jurors don't like lawyers, and will sympathize with a defendant who equally hates them all.

I had just been wondering if The Flying Felon had inspired mamy copycats.

It’s either a common noun or an adjective. See Strunk and White or get a nun to teach you remedial English.

“The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that 28-year-old Ramello Randle was attending his homicide trial”.

Henceforth to be known by the moniker ‘Rammin’ Randle’.

[...] murder suspect faces additional charges after freeing himself from restraints in a courtroom on Monday morning and stabbing his attorney in the face and head with a pen before turning his angst toward the prosecutor.

And then, plagued by ennui and filled with existential doubt, he attacked the bailiff.

Writer thought he'd finally get some use out an old thesaurus.

Q: What do you call two curb-stomped Oakland attorneys?

A: A good start!

He’ll claim ineffective legal representation on appeal.

Officials reportedly found a note written by Randle before the attack that read, “sorry.”

“My bad”

Strunk and White!

I had grade school friends who vanished into parochial school never to be seen again.
