Christopher Monfort Loses His Shit Pt 2

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee April 30, 2010

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.
