Court Room Punch
MIAMI An ex-convict charged with murder punched another man in a Florida court on Sunday.
After Mitchell Lee Simpson, 20, was denied bond in a Miami court, he turned around and slugged the man behind him.
Authorities quickly removed Simpson from the courtroom.
It is not clear if he will face an additional charge for the courtroom attack, or why he punched the man.
Police said Simpson shot and killed a 16-year-old boy after stealing the teen's gold necklace on May 25.
Mitchell is a convicted felon and had been out of prison for just two months, police said.
Witnesses have provided sworn statements that Simpson was bragging about the robbery and murder, police said.
