Violent Chaos Erupts in Courtroom as Killer Mocks Grieving Mother
A courtroom brawl erupted in Texas after the mother of a 16-year-old murder victim accused the accused killer, Frank DeLeon Jr., of laughing at her during her emotional testimony. DeLeon is on trial for shooting his ex-girlfriend, Diamond Alvarez, 22 times in January 2022. After the victim's mother finished her testimony, she attempted to confront DeLeon but was stopped by a bailiff. Alvarez's uncle then rushed DeLeon and punched him multiple times before court employees intervened. The judge adjourned the courtroom following the incident. DeLeon had accepted a plea deal and faces 45 years in prison, with eligibility for parole halfway through his sentence.
