(Fox News) - Dramatic video captured the moment that a grieving father attacked his 3-year-old daughter’s killer in court.
Dwayne Smith was in the Michigan courtroom to give a victim impact statement during the sentencing of his daughter’s mother Jasmine Gordon and Gordon’s boyfriend Clifford Thomas. Both Gordon and Thomas were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection with 3-year-old Jamila Smith’s death.
Smith punched Thomas in the head before deputies separated the two men.
