Markeith Loyd, 41, was charged with murdering his pregnant ex-girlfriend in December. Investigators said while on the run from the law, he shot and killed a police officer who tried to stop him outside an Orlando Walmart. Loyd said he would represent himself. When Orange County Judge Jeanette Bigney reminded him that what he said was under oath and being recorded, he responded, "I'm not finished talking because y'all been making up s--- the whole time."

Soon afterwards, the judge ordered him held without bond and told the guards to take him away. He replied, "f--- you."

Oh man, I sure hope this guy defends himself. I'd love to hear him go on for hours about the significance of the number 9. I'd love to cross-examine him regarding Louis Farrakhan's Mother ship

Oh, bless his heart...

[dp0622]

Yeah that’s a good move lol.

He looks like a Harvard grad.

[lodi90]

That’ll buff right out.

[VRWCarea51]

Poor fella looks like he slipped on the ice at the steps of the Po Po.

Probably can’t read cursive with one good eye.

[americas.best.days...]

Looks like Andy Sipowiscz gave him a tune-up.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Obama’s new favorite felon.

[jazusamo]

I can just imagine what Judge Bigley thought when he replied, “f-— you.”

She had to be smiling inside.

Ma baby diddun du nuffin™

[leaning conservative]

Love Andy!

[P-Marlowe]

Unless he can refrain from cursing and acting like an idiot in court, no judge in America would let him defend himself. He will likely get both a court appointed attorney and a court ordered gag.

[BloodScarletMinnesota]

Time is running out for Obama to pardon this $#1+bird.

[SES1066]

The miserable fact of the matter is that we, the taxpayers of Florida, will be paying for the incarceration and the multiple appeals on behalf of this [deleted] until, decades from now, he dies, probably from old age.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Don’t let him represent himself, that will result in a reversal on appeal for incompetent counsel.

Better still would be if they not taken him alive.

Save time and money.

[LibWhacker]

Good. The imposition of the death penalty in this case just became a near certainty.

[dragnet2]

I wonder if Obamba will pardon him?

[nopardons]

Will Obama pardon him tomorrow morning? /s

[digger48]

"Gee...Poor guy musta fell down"

[gigster]

"F---you"! Strong letter to follow...

[Organic Panic]

Poor Mr. Loyd. He is only accused. Hopefully he can be convicted in the next 12 hours or so. Obama will grant him a pardon.
