A Louisville judge stopped court proceedings to chastise two teenage killers who were fighting in the courthouse.
Demaurion Moore and Mekhi Cable are charged with killing Tyree Smith at a school bus stop in 2021. Moore and Cable were both 16 at the time of the shooting, WHAS11 reported.
They are also charged with other shootings.
Jefferson County Judge Tracy Davis said she received a phone call at lunch, informing her that Moore and Cable were fighting.
“That is one thousand percent disrespectful and it will not be tolerated, Davis told Moore and Cable.
“I’m not your momma; don’t play with me,” she said. “You all are in here for charges of murder, and you’re acting a damn fool fighting in the back. You know what a fight is? That’s an assault charge. You want another assault charge?”
She continued: “What you won’t do is have me talk to you like this ever again! Do I make myself clear?”
The mother of one of the teens burst into tears during the judge’s rant. The distraught mom told her son to address the judge more clearly.
The judge told the teens if they fought again, she would hold them both in contempt of court.
