After 25 minutes of deliberations, a Bexar County jury on Monday found Otis McKane guilty of capital murder.
After the verdict was read in the courtroom, McKane unbuttoned and untucked his shirt. Moments later, he elbowed a bailiff in the jaw who was attempting to detain him. Other officers immediately grabbed McKane, with one of the bailiffs yelling “Taser.” It’s not known, though, if the weapon was used. The bailiff who was struck returned to the courtroom minutes later and appeared to be OK. McKane hadn’t displayed any emotion in the trial prior to the attack other than when he cried when the interrogation video of him showed the defendant sobbing. The jury was not in the courtroom when the chaos occurred.
