Seandell Jackson

Juan Rodriguez

Andrew Wirth

Marcial Anguiano

Elis Nelson Ortiz-Nieves

The following defendant becomes enraged after being charged with torturing and killing a four-year-old.

At the top spot is David Moses

This man has been accused of sexually abusing his sister and numerous other people. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for beating an elderly woman to death after breaking into her home. Rather than displaying extreme emotion in response to this punishment, he appears to be a little too at ease as evidenced by the two instances in which he was seen to fall asleep during the sentencing process.
