TACOMA, Wash. — The defendant in a Pierce County murder trial was tackled and shocked with a stun gun by sheriff’s deputies Monday afternoon when he threw an object toward prosecutors as the judge polled jurors to confirm the man’s guilty verdict.
Judge James Orlando was polling the jury for confirmation of the verdict and had just made it to the back row of jurors when Pointer grabbed something from the desk in front of him and hurled it toward the prosecutors’ table. Deputy prosecutor Thomas Howe later said he didn’t know what Pointer threw, that he just saw it fly past his head.
Pointer and Jeffries fought after the defendant got into an argument with his girlfriend at a Lake Tapps gathering. Pointer lost his fight with Jeffries. Prosecutors said Pointer was “beat down.”
