Christopher Monfort Loses His Shit Pt 2
Christopher Monfort, the man accused of fatally shooting Seattle police officer Timothy Brenton on Halloween, made another court appearance today.
It didn't go well.
From the PI.Com:
While not admitting to the slaying or an Oct. 22 arson at a City of Seattle maintenance yard in which he is also accused, Monfort -- paralyzed from the waist down due to a gunshot received during his arrest -- began loudly deriding police shortly after being wheeled into the courtroom.
Monfort continued, in essence claiming that a person who attacked police would be acting in self-defense. He then offered what seemed to be a veiled reference to an altercations between King County Sheriff's Deputy Paul Schene and a teen girl in a holding cell; prosecutors claim Monfort referenced the incident, in which Schene currently faces assault charges, in materials left at arson scene.
"If I see my neighbor's daughter being beaten … I'm going outside," Monfort exclaimed prior to King County Superior Court Judge Ronald Kessler's entry into the court.
Last month, Monfort went on a brief tirade about former King County Sheriff deputy Paul Schene, who was caught on video and later charged beating a teenage girl in a holding cell last year. Schene's trial ended with a hung jury.
