The father of a teenage woman murdered by a convicted sex offender
leaped over a table and tried to attack the smirking serial killer in
court after he was sentenced to death on Thursday.
Michael
Madison was given the death penalty for murdering 18-year-old Shirelda
Terry, Angela Deskins, 38, and Shetisha Sheele, 28, in Ohio in July
2013.According to Mailonline,Miss Terry’s father, Van Terry, was
speaking about the loss of his daughter after Madison was sentenced to
death when he suddenly ran and lunged at the murderer.
Madison, 38, was seen laughing as Cuyahoga County courtroom deputies wrestled the upset father away.
The scuffle happened just minutes after Madison was sentenced to death for the 2013 killings.
The
bodies of Ms Deskins, Ms Sheeley and teenager Miss Terry were found
wrapped in garbage bags near the East Cleveland apartment building where
Madison lived in July 2013.
Madison’s attorneys never contested his guilt at trial. They instead
focused on saving his life by presenting evidence that Madison suffered
lasting psychological damage from physical abuse as a youngster..
There
was testimony that Madison was abused by his drug-addicted mother, a
stepfather, some of his mother’s boyfriends and family members
