Report: Man cuts his throat in Dallas courtroom after sentencing

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that a Duncanville man slit his throat Tuesday morning inside a courtroom at the Dallas County Courthouse moments after a judge sentenced him to 40 years in prison.

Marcial Anguiano had just been sentenced after pleading guilty to aggravated assault for cutting his niece with a butcher knife, the newspaper reported.

"As soon as the judge sentenced him, I saw him do something with his right arm," defense attorney Juan Sanchez told the paper. "I turned and he cut himself with something he had brought into the courtroom."

Sanchez said that after Anguiano injured himself, he saw a razor blade on the floor, the Morning News reported.

Anguiano was later seen talking on a stretcher leaving the building with his neck bandaged, the Morning News reported.

It is nice to know they let him keep his neck.

Nothing but a stunt. It's very difficult to cut your own throat and bleed to death in front of a courtroom full of people.

I'm sorry I forgot to care. Someone needed to apply a torinquet(sp)above the cut & let the M.E. take it off.

That scientific exploration, once forced into with practical for the purpose, or forced to react to the problems of daily life, it is not repeated scientific exploration is a vulgar misunderstanding. In fact, the real world is perhaps the most abundant research questions good source, they call to explore basic science.
