The following continues a narration of an incident that occurred in a U.S. courtroom. See Part 1 and Part 2 of this continuing series.

• As the judge handed down a prison sentence to the inmate at the podium, the inmate removed a razor blade from his mouth and used it to cut his wrist. Blood went everywhere.
