A man who murdered an 11-year-old girl and the person babysitting her has exploded in court, whacking his own lawyer in the face before being tackled to the ground.
Double murderer Joseph Zieler showed up to a pre-sentence hearing in a Florida courtroom with the word “killer” on his teeth.
As his lawyer was leaning in to say something, Zieler, while wearing handcuffs, whacked his lawyer in the face with his elbows.
His lawyer, 61-year-old Kevin Shirley, was caught off guard and went falling back.
