Watch a victim's father Michael Madison attack Cleveland serial killer in court

A Cleveland man whose daughter was the victim of a serial killer attacked the murderer in court on Thursday when he smirked as the grieving father gave a victim impact statement.

Video of Michael Madison's sentencing hearing - during which the killer received a death sentence - shows Van Terry introducing himself to the court before telling Madison, "You've touched our family, you've taken my child."

Terry turns toward the three-time killer in the video and, when he sees the man grinning at him, he lunges across the defense table and grabs at Madison's face. Family members scream and cry as courtroom security subdue Terry.

Madison grins as the guards struggle with the angry man.

Cleveland.com reports that Madison, 38, was convicted after a two-month trial of raping and killing 18-year-old Shirellda Terry, 28-year-old Shetisha Sheeley and 38-year-old Angela Deskins. Their mutilated and decomposing bodies were found in July 2013 in trash bags near Madison's East Cleveland apartment complex.

Shirellda Terry was Madison's last victim before he was arrested for the murders.

Cuyahoga County prosecutors will review the incident to determine if Terry will face charges for the courtroom attack, the news site said.
