A judge in Texas was forced to hit the panic button in her court and call in security after the brother of a murdered teenager attacked the 17-year-old accused of killing her.
Judge Hazel Jones had to call for security at her courtroom in Houston after Abel Alvarez flew at Frank DeLeon, 17, over the January 11 murder of Alvarez's sister Diamond Alvarez, 16.
Diamond was shot 22 times as she walked the family dog, Peanut, near her home.
Her on-off boyfriend DeLeon, 17, was arrested on January 17 and charged with her murder.
DeLeon was freed on a $250,000 bond, but was taken back into custody on Monday after his ankle monitor showed he had left house arrest without alerting authorities. His family said it was to go to church; the Alvarez family said the church was closed on Monday.
'You have to remember the emotion in this family is high,' said Cesar Espinosa, an advocate for immigrants with FIEL, the largest immigrant rights organization in Texas (Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha).
'We ask the public to put yourself in this family's shoes. What would you do if you had to face your daughter's killer in court?'

Judge Hazel Jones……..
I expect this judge will let this murderer off with a warning to not murder anyone again.
We live in a broken era
We live in Bizarro World.
If the brother who attacked the murderer gets in any trouble, the courthouse and judge should hear from the public in a loud fashion.
A brother who attacks his sister’s murderer is justified. The county/city/state should have had better protective protocols.
I saw a video of a dad jump the bar in a court room and get a hit on the murderer of his child. As four bailiffs tackled him and held him down, he said, “I’m sorry. You know I had to do this. I had to at least try.”
The bailiffs simply said, “I know. I know.”
Our first mistake was letting them vote.
These headlines. I’m reading a telegram from the fifties on a Sam Spade movie.
shot 22 times... boyfriend DeLeon... charged with her murder... freed on a $250,000 bond...
It’s a wonder the judge wasn’t the target of the family’s ire.
“On Thursday DeLeon was back in court and freed again after a judge accepted that the ankle monitor was likely faulty”
How? His family told the judge he left the house!
OR for killers and rapists is the reason one should already own a well scoped 300 blackout.
Is it just me or is that headline a word salad?
Agree. What are these things written by, kindergarten kids?
Not too bad if kindergarten, but unfortunately this is not the case.
Headline writing is a lost art...
“Judge” is black, of course.
I’m waiting for more released perps to be “confronted” outside the courtroom.
A two bit filthy killer lied and his filthy loser democrat family lied about him going to church? Only a member of the press would be surprised.
I’m working on a legal theory that when a soverign abdicates its duties to victims of crime, then the victims have a right to administer justice themselves.
A two bit filthy killer lied and his filthy loser democrat family lied about him going to church? Only a member of the press would be surprised. The killer should have been in jail.
Red that hedlin fiv tinges and still wuz confuzzed.
