This is tpf'd because I dont want any stupid comments
Should have given that father 10 minutes with the scumbag. I couldnt imagine how that father feels.
The report says the killer was leering at the victims families.

The father of a woman killed by a convicted sex offender dove across a courtroom table to attack him Thursday, shortly after a judge announced the defendant would be sentenced to death for killing three people and wrapping their bodies in garbage bags. Van Terry, the father of Shirellda Terry, had walked to the front of the courtroom to give a victim-impact statement and turned toward Michael Madison, who gave him a malicious smile. Terry lunged at Madison and was immediately swarmed by sheriff’s deputies as Madison and his attorneys scrambled to get out of the way.
Law enforcement officers dragged Terry out of the courtroom. It wasn’t immediately clear where they took him.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy McDonnell declined to clear the courtroom, and after about a 15-minute delay, the hearing continued.
McDonnell accepted a jury’s recommendation that Madison, 38, receive the death penalty. She could have instead chosen to sentence Madison to life in prison without parole.
McDonnell said the horrific nature of Madison’s crimes far outweighed evidence presented in efforts to spare him, including an abusive and chaotic childhood.
The same jury convicted Madison earlier this month of multiple counts of aggravated murder and kidnapping.
Madison didn’t make any statements during Thursday’s hearings except to answer questions posed by the judge. Defense attorney David Grant declined to comment after the hearing.
