Bell once again said his name in an attempt to redirect his attention, but Brown kept going: “– that needs to be taken care of.”
“Mr. Brown, stop talking now,” Bell then said.
“And the FBI refuses to investigate and I want to press charges, and I want the media to know that. That’s it,” Brown continued before Bell intervened.
“Mr. Brown, if you’re going to remain in the courtroom, you’re going to remain quiet.”
“I just had to get that out,” Brown responded, and after that he remained quiet until the end of the hearing.
Decarlos Brown has been held in federal custody in Chicago since a grand jury indicted him on October 22 on charges of committing violence against a railroad carrier and mass transportation system resulting in death. He is also facing state charges of first-degree murder.
