Man goes on expletive-filled rant in court over prison sentence, so judge adds 6 more years

He will now spend 28 years in prison

A defendant will be learning a long and hard lesson following his tirade in an Ohio court.

Manson M Bryant, 32, ended up with six additional years added to his prison sentence after he went on a profanity-laden rant against the judge and his 22-year prison sentence in Lake County Common Pleas court.

Bryant appeared in court on March 1 for his sentencing hearing on charges of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, and carrying a concealed weapon.

After Judge Eugene Lucci announced that Bryant would spend 22 years in prison, Bryant got up from his seat and began yelling.

The moment was captured in video footage of the hearing that was released on Tuesday.

“F*** your courtroom, you racist-a** b****! F*** your courtroom, man. You racist as f***!” Bryant, who is African-American, is heard shouting in the video. “Twenty-two f****** years! You racist-a** b****”

Officers in the courtroom restrained the defendant and backed him away from the judge as he continued to yell. In response, the judge added six more years.

“Actually, you know what? Remember, remember when I said that you had shown remorse,” Mr Lucci said over Bryant’s shouting. “When I said you had a certain amount of remorse, I was mistaken. The court determines, the court determines a maximum imprisonment is needed.”

Bryant will now spend 28 years in prison.

There is documented evidence proving black men often get longer sentences for the same crimes committed by white men. In the case of federal crimes, a US Sentencing Commission report found black men receive 19.1 per cent longer sentences than their white counterparts.
