New York man, accused of raping woman, 74, removed from court after flipping table: report
2019-08-21
[FOXNEWS] A New York man accused of raping a 74-year-old woman was thrown out of court Monday after he picked up the table at which his defense team was sitting and launched it in the direction of prosecutors, capping a series of outbursts that disrupted the jury selection proceedings.

Shamik King, 30, was removed from the Syracuse courtroom at around 11:30 a.m. after he hurled a wooden table at the prosecution team's table, sending splinters flying, according to The Post-Standard.

King, who's accused of raping an elderly woman on Aug. 19, 2018 at the Skyline Apartments, is charged with rape, burglary and assault and was in court as part of jury selection in the case.

#4  Rather he have a frontal lobotomy than a (hurled) table in front of me.

#3  Having raped a 74-year-old woman, he might not last much longer that Epstein in jug.

#2  Institutionalize him, 'arrange' a head injury, wheel him into emergency surgery and lobotomize him. This society won't survive if these things multiply unchecked, lemme tell you that.

#1  The jury selection process must have been interesting after that point.

Sounds like he belongs in a mental institution.
