A man who stabbed a 9-year-old boy to death on the Upper West Side punched his defense lawyer in the face on Wednesday afternoon at State Supreme Court just minutes after a jury determined he was not criminally responsible by reason of insanity.
It took more than two dozen court officers to subdue the defendant, Alejandro Morales, 31, as he crashed around the Manhattan courtroom, swinging wildly at the officers, slamming into the prosecutor’s table and ending up sprawled face down in the jury box, witnesses said.
“He’s a very disturbed and volatile man, and we saw stark evidence of that, unfortunately,” said the defense lawyer, Frederick L. Sosinsky, who was not seriously injured. He added that Mr. Morales became violent after being told he would not go home immediately.
Mr. Morales, a felon who has been repeatedly diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, confessed to the police he had killed the boy, Anthony Maldonado, at 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 2, 2010, inside the apartment of Mr. Morales’s mother. At the time, Mr. Morales was on parole for an assault conviction and was taking antipsychotic medication.

Or maybe even this guy is outraged that the lawyer is getting dirtbags off using a bogus defense?
Got shackles, anybody?
I’m good leaving them off. This lawyer got the murderer of a nine year old off. Some punches could only help.
The jury is criminally insane here, not the defendant. What insanity.
Sounds like somebody WANTED to go to prison.
Who ever let that animal out is also responsible for that boy’s death!
Oh dear Trump is right
Acts 19:16 New International Version
Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
Let me guess, illegal?
Right about what? This man is not one of the, "hardworking, decent," illegals Trump talked about, he's a U.S. citizen.
No, citizen.
He was paroled shortly before this killing, even though his own family thought he was too crazy to be free.
The killer knew what he did was wrong.
The poor child. Imagine his last moments. Rest in peace, sweet angel.
Anytime is a good time to punch a lawyer.
“Oh dear Trump is right”
Trump should tell people that bammy let 30,000 criminal illegal aliens out into our streets, and that 120 of them have since committed murders!
Those poor seven sons of Sceva.
They thought they had a good little business going, too.
It would be nice if someone would start pointing this stuff out. We don't have to lie or anything about these monsters. There are a million hard-core truths to be told about them. I'm praying someone on our side comes out to play hardball.
That is possible. It might be about the only place to get treatment. Prisons are the new asylums.
What else did he expect in NYC?
