This story will be hard to read, but the details and context are important. A 29-year-old man was arrested and accused of killing a woman and putting her 3-year-old son, Nylo, into the Ohio River while he was still alive. The boy's body was never recovered. The man accused of this is named Desean Brown, and he was attacked by the boy's father in a court room. It took four cops to hold the man back. The father was then thrown in jail himself, but released fairly quickly and not charged with anything else.
It's a shame the court systems don't let father's have their way with criminals, but that's just how the courts are. I guess if they got it wrong, and the accused was innocent, that it would be a much worse legal issue to deal with. WCPO reported the details of the story:
Desean Brown, accused of murdering 29-year-old Nyteisha Lattimore and putting her son, Nylo, into the Ohio River still alive, was punched by the boy's father during a procedural hearing. During a hearing, Tonio Hughes leapt at Brown, punching him repeatedly in the head and neck before he was held down by officers. Officers in the court handcuffed Hughes and helped him to his feet, but he again lunged at Brown; four officers were needed to hold Hughes down. Hughes was taken out of the courtroom by police.
Hughes was charged with contempt of court and was ordered to serve 7 days in the Hamilton County Justice Center. On Monday, he was released early from jail. He has not yet been charged with anything else
