A distraught Florida mother screamed at the top of her lungs and swore at a judge for nearly four minutes after her son's killer was handed a shockingly light sentence.
Deidre Wade jumped out of her seat in a West Palm Beach courtroom on June 16 after Circuit Judge Richard Oftedal sentenced Cemari Daniels, 23, to 12 years behind bars for fatally shooting her 17-year-old son Jaleen Snead.
Daniels faced life in prison, but jurors chose to convict him of manslaughter instead of murder.
Daniels shot and killed Snead in the backseat of a car at an apartment complex on December 8, 2021.
A second unidentified teenage boy, 16, was also shot and left wounded after Daniels, who was 20 at the time, exited a 2017 Ford Expedition and attempted to rob Snead of his handgun before shooting him at close range, police said.
After Judge Oftedal determined how long Daniels would pay for the crime, Wade screamed: 'It don't make sense for the judge, the jury, the detectives. It don't make ******* sense for them to do all that work and then y'all do some sh** like that.'
A brief moment of silence rang out in the courtroom before Wade continued on about how her son was treated 'like a piece of trash' and '******* road kill.'
Oftedal sat in silence and did not interrupt the upset mother. He also did not acknowledge her response afterward, The Palm Beach Post reported.

“” no mother should ever have to be told that her son has been killed.””
Dumb statement, made all the time.
NO ONE, mothers, fathers, friends, acquaintances, should ever be told that their (fill in the blank) has been killed.
THE KILLING HAS TO STOP!
Whoops!
I didn’t realize that it was the jury that sentenced him...
Yep, just South and West of Singer Island, basically a Ghetto.
