The father of one of three victims of Ohio serial killer Michael Madison leaped over a table to attack

the defendant in court Thursday just minutes after the judge pronounced a death sentence.

Van Terry is the father of victim Shirellda Terry. Shortly before the courtroom incident,

Terry had approached the podium to address the judge and speak about the impact of his daughter’s loss.

“Right now, I guess we’re supposed to, in our hearts forgive this clown, who has touched our families, taken my child,” Terry said.

Terry then paused and turned to look behind him at Madison, who was sitting behind the defense table, before

running towards the convicted killer and lunging over the table at him.
