Florida man drinks a cup of bleach after jury finds him guilty of armed robbery

A Florida man downed a cup of bleach in a courtroom moments after hearing the jury read his verdict in which he was found guilty of armed robbery.
Jermaine Bell, 38, has spent more than three years in custody for the December 2018 robbery for which he was convicted. He pulled a gun on employees at the Millennium Engine Plating while he was disguised as a courier.
Bell was seen drinking the bleach from a white disposable cup before an officer approached him with a trash can and attempted to have the inmate spit up the liquid. But Bell continued to drink from the cup until he eventually sat down.
He immediately became very sick after drinking the bleach and was transported out of the courtroom in Miami on a stretcher. He was then taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
Bell is in stable condition at the hospital after ingesting the bleach, but it remains unclear how he was able to obtain it in the courtroom. Questions are also being raised by his family about why nobody intervened as he was drinking the product.
“I see him drinking something that’s not right,” Reverend Jerome Starling, a distant relative of Bell, told Local 10. “His attorneys are letting him drink it. Corrections letting him drink it. All of a sudden I see him collapse. And I said how could this happen.”

He should of asked for a cup of arsenic. At least that would save tax dollars.

He may be a convicted criminal, but he’s clean inside.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
He was determined to clean himself up on the inside, so nobody wanted to stop him.
Florida Man, however, was doing it wrong.

Did the guard make him drink bleach? Did his attorney? No?
No one is responsible for his actions except him. His family is looking for a pay day by finger-pointing at everyone but the perp.

Inmates occasionally will do that to get out of prison and into a hospital. I have seen such people.

One advantage for the authorities is that...
If he were to break out of prison, the dogs would find his trail easily. Heck, no need for dogs; anybody could follow his trail, at least for a few days.
