A grieving father lunged for the throat of a smirking serial killer in a Cleveland courtroom Thursday.
Serial killer Michael Madison had just received the death sentence when chaos erupted in the courtroom.
Van Terry, the father of one of the victims, paused during his witness impact statement to glare at Madison sitting at the defense table. Then, without warning, Terry lunged across the table and briefly clutched Madison’s throat.
Court officers reacted swiftly and caught Terry in mid flight. Other officers and family members restrained Terry, whose daughter Shirellda Terry, 18, was Madison’s final victim.
The still-smirking serial killer was removed from the courtroom as the victim’s family members shrieked and wept.
Madison, 38, is accused of killing three women in East Cleveland and dumping their bodies in garbage bags in the summer of 2013.
Police were led to the bodies after responding to reports of a foul odor coming from a garage leased by Madison.

My heart goes out to him. I prayed his daughter would be alright, kidnapped his baby in broad daylight on her way to work. I can’t fathom the pain he’s in, don’t blame him.

Are they going to try to lock him up like they did the guy who beat his wifes attempted rapist to death?
I felt his pain through my phone ??
That poor man…losing his daughter’s life to the likes of this punk. He’s smirking now, because he’s in shackles and whatnot, and he knows he can’t be touched…but wait til he gets back to the prison…in the showers…where there’s no shackles and one there to protect him.
I feel for the dad and his family:(
yep, he’ll get some ‘jailhouse justice’ in due time
So sad ? I don’t blame him one bit.. Watch the coward try to kill himself now that he’s on death row.
? ? Wow, Ohio seems to have a lot of violent sex offenders. This is the fourth violent case I’ve read this week involving Ohio residents. One was very disturbing involving a mother holding her 8yr old daughter down to allow the stepfather violate the child and her 14yr sister. Just sick and vile POS, I feel this fathers pain.
I don’t blame him. At all.
I would’ve tried to kill his ass too. Watching this makes me tear up.
Me too. This almost makes me cry.
I would’ve let him choke that bish out if I were the C.O.
The father should get himself arrested and sent to the same prison.
they will in prison… not in the court house.
Jumpan Jumpan Jumpan, f*ck was you expecting? Woo
Me too
I’ll never understand why the officers don’t just let the family get a few good swings in. All of that for what? Poor man is grieving and that scum got the death penalty anyway so let him get a few punches in.
It’s some very sick minds out here.
How or why he would smirk about killing someone’s child..If I was a judge in that court room I would’ve let him beat the brakes off that jackass..
I like your visual Milani, no shackles, all alone, in the showers. Do not drop that soap.
That’s going a bit far lol.
THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE BLOCKED HIM! STRAIGHT HAYMAKERED HIS A$$, SICK FU$KER! THAT LUNGE DOE? THAT A-L-O-N-E SHE HAVE ALLOWED HIM ONE GOOD PIMP SLAP TO DA DOME!
They could’ve at least let the man get a couple licks in before they restrained him (that’s what I would’ve done). They’ve shown a few videos like this on “Disorder In The Court”, and I’ve felt the pain each time the family member tried to leap at the suspect. Yeah he’s getting a life sentence, but that’s not enough. A few blows to the face won’t bring her back neither, but it’ll feel good for the moment just to let off some steam. I’ve seen a few court cases where the suspect smirks or whatnot, and in some cases, I believe they’re smirking not to show weakness or to give the people in the room any satisfaction , but on the inside they’re bothered as f – – k #sometimesviolenceistheanswer
I remma this story. The deceased girl…her mother is a pastor. God bless these folks.
OFF TOPIC…WHERE WILL YOU BE @ 9 TONIGHT?
I feel you, but 1. He may not get sent to the same place and 2. That is taking it a bit far…?
*raises hand* ohhh ohh I know. Pick me. PICK ME
I hope so ?
no Sandra, Lol!
he took his one chance to get up close and personal with this sub-human. now he has to try to pull it together and continue to be a father to his remaining children (if he has any). that animal will be dealt with by the ‘citizens’ of his new ‘hometown’
On my couch rooting for the Cavs. I have watch party tickets Sunday.
This is so sad. I hope he dies a slow harsh death after what he did to that man’s daughter. He is a disgusting dirty bastard. I can only imagine what the father is feeling.
Lol
Terrence with that perm and pink oil moisturizer… lol
I’m about to cook stuffed shells and chicken wangs!!!
not gonna lie, something like this MIGHT shake my faith… dats just me…
THIS GAME TONIGHT, DOE? SERIES OVA IN 6, WHATCHA THINK? I GOT $5 ON IT
Yes. Warriors in 6.
God knows it might. I would be so DONE. My baby girl. Man listen.
RIIGHT…YOU WERE NEXT ON MY LIST TO ASK. I SOOOO WASN’T EXPECTING FOR YOU TO BE ON BE ON THE BRON-BRON WAGON, LOL…
I’m in (in not from) the bay area and hope the Cavs win. I’m so sick of Curry’s albino sold his soul to the devil ass and these damn crazy cult fans out here. #yesimhatin i’m not a Bron super fan but, i’m so sick of the warriors and their black magic on the court. it’s unreal.
I remember when they started finding the bodies. We all thought it was another Imperial Ave case. My hairdresser was releated to Shirella and was hoping that she wasn’t one of the victims at the time.
What really boiled me was that he didn’t want to be compared to Anthony Sowell coz he wanted to be tried fairly. ? Like he wasn’t any less a monster as Sowell. What about those women you killed? Did you treat them “fairly?”
if I was a pastor, I’d probably be like FDS, errbody can go str8 to hail far as I care
Lol!
Father God be a shield to protect this father. He is hurting for his baby girl.
LET ME SLIDE IN YOUR DM, LOL…YOU ALLLLL BETTA BE PUMPED AS HELL, BUT I KNOW I AIN’T GOTTA SAY ISH. FOOD & GAME…LOCKED & LOADED, LOL!

Nobody Else type nothing bout no food! :sobs:
You guys don’t want to live, walk or drive thru there EVER! Its like the Wild Wild West, full or drugs, poverty and crime! Its extremely dangerous and one of the worst cities in the country! I went to middle & high school in East Cleveland but that was MANY years ago when it was just ok then lol! I now hate to visit people that still live in that area and I usually make up some type of excuse why I can’t stop by, hate to say it!
Earlier this year a high school classmate was kidnapped in his driveway in broad daylight and later found dead in his trunk! I don’t play with East Cleveland and its the same place that they busted their former Mayor cross dressing…Lawd!
Figures (Quincy voice from Love & Basketball), LOL…I had a feeling…SHE AIN’T BOUT THAT BRON LIFE, LOL.
….

HOPE & PRAY FOR HEALING FOR THE FAMILY…
***Is it just me or does this still make Pops look like Booooby Brown?***
…black magic on the court…
~~~~~~~~
TIRED OF THE VOODOO, HUH?
they should have let dad beat his azz, what harm could he do more to that piece of chyt
I won’t click? I’ve seen this scene many times before. Always sad?
Why even put his azz in prison to eat, chyt and shower, go ahead and nuk the summabish
have you seen the youtube rants about him? pure comedy!
My oldest sister…her ex husband is from Lorain. Former Ford factory workers. Whole fam. I had to go up there and visit and even stayed a summer there. She 11 almost 12 years older. So they sent for me my sophomore/junior summer. When I say rough? Bay-bee.
I don’t blame him.
Lol gosh that reminds me I need to be scooting to a gym but I’m still gon eat lol.
Lol right your wrongs you mean lol. I’m not trying to be right, I’m gonna bake that cake I’ve been baking since Monday.
I thought death row inmates were locked down 23 hours a day. They don’t mill about in general population so I doubt he’ll get prison justice.
I bet the dad would be ok with getting locked up just to have the satisfaction of hurting that SOB
I couldn’t watch. The pain on his face in the photo was enough.
I really wish the court had allowed the man have at that cockroach. Too bad we aren’t like China where people like this cockroach who are guilty of a crime are immediately executed.
Claps in a circle. Next time he gotta watch A Time To Kill Though.
Am I going to hell cause i giggled?
OH MY GOD. I can’t watch movies like that anymore. Makes me wanna go outside and wait for a mofo to just look crazy and WISH A NIGGA WOULD…. .
“I wish he had a chance to actually crush it!”

They should’ve let him go!! And there’s always some idiot in the background, screaming “NOO!! NO!!” Like stfu and come over here and help me fight..
The death penalty is too easy he should be made to rot the rest of his life behind bars.
??? nah, the thought of the killer getting what’s coming to him is probably what prompted your delight…
Ugh the ignorance
Damn pops was moving too slow!! If i was sheriff i wudve took my precious ol time dismantling him ??
This brought tears to my eyes. That was the devil sitting in that chair smiling at that father. My prayers for this family and the other victims. Please fix it Jesus.
??????????
about Steph or Bron?
steph… hillarious stuff
Okay thanks. I’m going to look it up now. I’m tired of chicken curry too. They just go overboard with him.
Nope…but I shall go look
You tried daddy you tried? And I ain’t mad at cha… Hell let it been me might’ve had a lil knife and jabbed his ass right in the neck… Rest EASY baby gurl ? sending prayers UP
Yea its rough AF… The NATI… The land and Youngstown don’t play…
Wow, a little more to the left and that would have been the perfect right hook!
Good evening…aint it always funny how KILLERS NEVER WANNA DIE?
I’m from Cleveland. Most of the people are salt of the earth, hard-working folks. I cant stand these demonically-possessed people that commit these types of crimes. I pray for peace for the family. That dad is hurting, you can see it in his eyes…SMH.
If the victims were officers, they would’ve taken their sweet time to restrain that idiot. So sad, may those women RIP.
That video made me cry. I pray that this father will be gentle with himself and he is able to find some type of comfort and peace. It will definitely take the rest of his life, I pray in that journey he will find a gentle way. Rest in peace to all the victims.
Sandy Bigelow! LMAO!!
He hurting man… Just sad!!! That man did have a smirk on his damn face. Jesus!!!
Thats heartbreaking.
It is
I would’ve thrown a chair then lunged at his evil ass. I wish oh how I wish they would’ve let the father beat the life out of that demon.
Ditto, feel the fathers rage 100%
What bout last night!!!
He had every right they should of let him do some damage before they grabbed him
They should’ve let him whoop his ass
They should’ve let him whoop his ass
They should have let the father and family deal with him, it would save so much time and money.
Curry is funny looking. His siblings look normal, but he looks like an in vitro fertilization baby.
that piece of s#!+ is LUCKY the LAW was there to “protect” him…they should have LET THE FATHER have at him for about 10secs..long enough to choke him to the point of seeing stars..BUT ooooooh when he gets to his new village, the restless “natives” will surely give him a few welcome HOME taps!!! #pieceOfS#!+
okay Let me calm down …eeeeeew this sick man! #serialKILLER
Dont they do that in some countries? They let the sentence be carried out by the family of the victim?
Yep. I watched a whole entire family F someone up in another counrty. Swift justice.
CTHU (KNEW someone would give a REMINDER–my nephew was ON MY A$$ as of last night, LOL). IT’S JUST GAME ONE, BUT I (AS WELL AS OTHER CAVS FAN…DAMN TEAM FOR THAT MATTER) GOTTA HOLD THAT L. THAT’S BOUT AS MUCH INSIGHT THAT I CAN GIVE…HITTING DUDES IN THE NUTS, DELLY? JUST TURRIBLE (Charles Barkley voice). SEE YA SUNDAY…SAME TIME, SAME PLACE…LOL
a smirking serial killer
still-smirking serial killer
He sure was! Wacko!
Listen. We winning in 6.
Cavs in 7!
No.
I’ma DOWN VOTE cha on THIS, LOL… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6c8fec880a0025cc3d1b8513266ba557a3e44199aa3d6fe836e2e3cc5b868a64.jpg
TER-RAY! TER-RAY! TER-RAY! TER-RAY! TER-REE!!!
SIDE NOTE: would have been my first emotionally driven impulse too!
Anybody can get it anywhere. Space and opportunity.
That would be so hard to stand up and read a statement while the killer is looking at your sideways. The courtroom needs to be prepared for reactions like this. Or maybe the Judge should just read it out loud instead.
Trip and not get there fast enough?
I’m from the bay and I worry about the nonsense that will go down if the Warriors win or lose.
Best swan dive I have ever seen.
Bitch as nigga I hope u get yours in your cell
