The man who fatally shot two deputies during a 2014 crime spree in California laughed and smirked at the start of his murder trial on Tuesday as he loudly declared, “I will break out soon, and I will kill more.”
Bracamontes’ defense attorney, public defender Jeffrey Barbour, left no doubt about his client’s role in the killings, which Bracamontes has repeatedly admitted in previous court hearings.
“Let me be clear and upfront,” Barbour told jurors on Tuesday, The Sacramento Bee reports. “Mr. Bracamontes is responsible for the death of deputy Danny Oliver and detective Michael Davis. He shot them both.”
The outbursts by Bracamontes, 37, led Barbour to ask Superior Court Judge Steve White to reconsider his earlier ruling that Bracamontes is mentally competent.
The judge denied the request.
