A Miami-Dade murder suspect made the cable-news highlight reel today with an unprovoked outburst in bond court.
Mitchell Lee Simpson, 20, was denied bond after being charged in connection with the shooting death of a 16-year-old Homestead boy last month. Investigators say the teen was robbed of his gold-chain necklace before being shot.
That's a picture of Simpson on the left, decking the defendant behind him in court. Mitchell punched the guy in the face and dragged him to the ground before officers pulled him away. The other man was not seriously injured, and the attack appeared to be unprovoked, according to WFOR-CBS 4, which captured it on video.
Maybe Mitchell was less than excited at the prospect of going back to prison. He was just released in March from a one-year stint in the slammer for burglary.



Add assault charges along with whatever else. This 20yr old seems to be something needing to be terminated or taken out of public for life. If his family wants him to live out the remainder of his pathetic life in prison, let them pay FL $30 g a yr to house him.

I'm usually against the death penalty. I'll make an exception for this piece of crap.

It is really embarrasing when the news media refer to floor as the ground or the ground as floor. When in doubt use a dictionary. If you look up the ground and floor in the dictionary these are two different words with different meanings.
For your information:
Ground-the solid surface of the earth; firm or dry land. Floor-the part of a room, hallyway, or the like, that forms its lower enclosing surface and upons which one walks.
With that being said, it appears to me that he was dragged to the floor, not the ground.

Mr. Simpson will spend the rest of his life locked away in a tiny cage.
Fitting.
