‘She Lost a Son, So We Don’t Fault Her for Reacting’: Simone Biles’ Brother Is Attacked By Slain Man’s Mother In Court After Being Acquitted on 15 Charges
Chaos broke loose in an Cleveland, Ohio, courtroom after the mother of a homicide victim lunged at Simone Biles’ older brother, Tevin Biles-Thomas, after he was acquitted in a triple murder case, multiple news outlets reported.
On Tuesday, June 15, following a ruling from Judge Joan Synenberg in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, a woman — a mother of one of the victims — stood up and lunged towards the Biles-Thomas screaming, “He killed my baby. You know he killed my baby. You have to be f-cking kidding me.” The emotional moment was captured and published by WEWS. The woman added, “I’m going to kill you.” Police officers were able to restrain the woman before she was able to reach the U.S. Army soldier. The Cuyahoga County court confirmed the news in a statement, revealing that “a person in the gallery charged toward the defendant” after the ruling. The court thanked the sheriff’s department for their assistance in the incident.
