Courtroom brawl after guilty verdict for teen involved in artist Berreni’s murder

Teen in Berreni murder

A brawl broke out in a Detroit courtroom on Wednesday after a guilty verdict was announced against a 15-year-old defendant in the robbery and murder of French artist Bilal Berreni. The juvenile, with his hands cuffed behind his back, ran toward his pregnant sister sitting in a Wayne County Juvenile courtroom to say goodbye when a brawl ensued between his family members and deputies. The juvenile, the youngest of four defendants convicted in the July 2013 murder of Berreni, was convicted by Wayne County Judge Christopher Dingell just minutes before he made a jump to the back of the small courtroom. The incident brought other deputies in the four-story courthouse into Dingell’s courtroom. The fight spilled out from Dingell’s courtroom into the third floor hallway. The teen’s sentencing is scheduled for January 16th.
