Accused Cop Killer Crying In Front Of The Judge! (Pleading For His Life)
"The man who is accused of killing Twinsburg police officer Joshua Miktarian in the summer of 2008 appeared in court on Wednesday, and only Fox 8 News cameras were rolling as Ashford Thompson cried when describing his life in prison. Thompson, 24, explained to the judge "harassment" that he's had to deal with behind bars, including not receiving mail and having his bed sheets taken away. While openly weeping, he told Judge Elinore Marsh Stormer that he feels as if he "can't get any kind of justice." "Just execute me. ... I'm tired of it," Thompson said. The appearance Wednesday at the Summit County Court of Common Pleas was intended to be a final opportunity for the defendant's new attorneys to file any additional motions. It quickly turned into an opportunity for Thompson to vent. Thompson originally pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, but later withdrew his plea. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 24. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. " - 5 News
