An illegal immigrant began his murder trial for the 2014 killings of two Northern California sheriff’s deputies on Tuesday with a profanity-laced rant, calling a partner of one of the slain officers a “coward.”
Prosecutor Rod Norgaard recounted the events that led to the death of Sacramento Sheriff’s Deputy Danny Oliver outside a Sacramento motel in October 2014, and described how Oliver’s partner, Deputy Scott Brown, was able to retreat from the heavy gunfire.
Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamontes, 37, the alleged killer, interrupted the court when he grinned and called Brown a “coward.”
Bracamontes was scolded by the Sacramento Superior Court judge, The Sacramento Bee reported.
“I wish I had killed more of the mother——-s,” Bracamontes told the court. He continued, “I will break out soon and I will kill more, kill whoever gets in front of me…There’s no need for a f—ing trial.”
Bracamontes defense attorneys cited the outburst as more evidence that their client is unfit to stand trial.
His wife, 41-year-old Janelle Monroy, ialso is charged in the slayings. She argues that she was a victim of her abusive husband who frequently used drugs.
Bracamontes, who could face the death penalty if convicted, has had similar episodes in court in the past.
Bracamontes is from Mexico, and repeatedly entered the United States illegally. His wife is an American citizen and faces life in prison if found guilty.
Public defenders Jeffrey Barbour and Norm Dawson have unsuccessfully attempted to enter a plea of not guilty by insanity, and argued that it is unlikely their client will receive a fair trial due to the anti-immigrant sentiment encouraged by President Trump’s hardline stance on immigration.

What? I thought I heard the other day that like 80 something % of Americans were in favor of the invasion, so is there really an anti-immigrant sentiment.
Get your STORY straight.
If this were an American National that killed these cops they would be dead and not have a trial, period.
A worthless tub of F’n shit. I’ve had the unfortunate opportunity and distinct displeasure to have interacted with very similar fools in the far distant past.
I’d give an opinion as to what should be done with morons like this , but children might be reading this.
This dudes a riot
plus , the judge has no balls
never before have i seen a judge allow this much feedback or shown disdain for his crown enforcers
you know and I know that by the second negative comment he made, or the first profanity the judge would have had him escorted out , or silenced in some way
maybe we will get to see this guys promise come true , maybe those cops and prosecutors and judge should be thinking about this ..his situation doesnt seem to be any bother for him
