Cuyahoga County judge orders man’s mouth taped shut during sentencing
It was an unusual sight in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.
Franklyn Williams, 32, is accused of three armed robberies in Richmond Heights and Euclid.
During his sentencing hearing, Williams would not stop talking, despite more than a dozen warnings from Judge John Russo over the course of about 30 minutes. Williams even interrupted his own attorneys.
Russo handled the situation by ordering deputies to tape the defendant's mouth shut.
Six deputies stood around Williams as one applied the red tape, but he continued to speak. The judge instructed deputies to put another piece of tape over his mouth in order for proceedings to continue.
Eventually, Judge Russo sentenced Williams to 24 years in prison.
The goblin has quite the list of priors. 24 years should shut him up for a while.
