A defendant appeared to fake a heart attack during his recent trial in Dayton, Ohio. The incident was captured on courtroom cameras.

The situation occurred in late June during the trial of Keison Wilson. The man was acting as his own attorney.

On the second day of the trial, Wilkins--dressed in white suit---grabbed his chest and then collapsed to the floor. Deputies rushed to his aid and he was given extensive medical assistance. However, medical authorities later found nothing wrong with Wilkins!

In the aftermath of the fake attack, the judge scolded Wilkins for his disruptive behavior. After his bluff was called -Wilkins decided to participate in his own trial.

He was convicted of felonious assault and other charges. Wilkins is now serving a 42-year-prison sentence.

Pretty good video BILLYDKD. I guess he figured he had nothing to lose so he gave it a shot. A few years from now he’ll be claiming no one was a licensed doctor that examined him and he’s entitled to another trial and he’s as innocent as the day is long and suing the city and state.

If I were him I think I would save that picture and after everyone has forgotten about his little court room stunt, say in about 3 or four years then claim he had inadequate representation from his sleeping attorney. grin

was that an attorney asleep in the back of him?

You can’t blame a guy for trying.  That was probably his only chance.
