WA: de mortuis nil nisi bonum
Video from Tacoma: Brawl Breaks Out In Courtroom
A shocking scene at the back of a Pierce County courtroom erupted just moments after a killer was sentenced to 30 years for murdering a 69-year-old man during a robbery.
Families of Darrel Johnson and the man going to prison for his murder let their emotions spill out as a small fight erupted inside the courtroom Thursday.
(A)s (Andrew) Brown was being sentenced, emotions boiled over into a pushing and shouting match at the back of the courtroom after a member of Brown's family made a derisive comment about the victim.
De mortuis nil nisi bonum (as we always used to say).
Update: NWCN reported the derisive comment as words to the effect that the 30 year sentence was too harsh because the victim already had lived a full life:
"The man was 69, he wasn't going to live forever."
Alrighty then.

the cruel and ignorant thing (woman) that voiced her opinion on how old the victim was is the true spokesperson for ignorance in the family. how could a person be so stupid? that woman deserves to die herself...is she going to live forever. the sad fact that she can live while the victim cannot. the ignorance and hatefullness of bottomfeeding career welfare individuals is astounding!
