Scenes from a Detroit Courtroom

A horrible case with a sweet touch of real justice at its conclusion:

•Jasmine Gordon, 25, and her boyfriend Clifford Thomas, 34, were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of 3-year-old Jamila

•On Friday, Jamila’s biological father Dwayne Smith was set to give a victim impact statement in Detroit, Michigan court

•Instead of addressing his daughter’s mother and her boyfriend, he punched Thomas from behind

•Sheriff’s deputies had to intervene to keep the two men apart

•Court later resumed and Gordon and Thomas were sentenced; the judge declined to hold Smith in contempt of court for the outburst

About that last bullet point, sometimes justice can still be blind.
