Biles-Thomas was attacked in court by one of the victim's mothers in his case after he was acquitted of the charges against him.

Court officials attempted to restrain the mother of slain 19-year-old Delvante Johnson as she threatened to harm the young man. "I'm going to kill you. You're getting f***** up," she yelled. 5 The mother of a victim in Tevin Biles-Thomas' case attacked him in court Credit: NBC News  Judge Synenberg cited "insufficient" proof and that descriptions of the clothes worn by the alleged shooter were only accurate "75 per cent, at best" for acquitting the 26-year-old of all 15 charges. At least four bailiffs were used to hold the distressed mother back as she rampaged through the court room. The woman can then be heard sobbing and saying Biles-Thomas had "killed my baby," as she was taken away. An Ohio judge declared a mistrial in Biles-Thomas' case on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, after the jurors said they had read legal paperwork that was unintentionally included in the evidence they had to review. 5 The victim's mother was inconsolable as she was led away from court Credit: NBC News  During their third day of deliberations, the jury told the judge that copies of legal briefs from Tevin Biles-Thomas lawyers and prosecutors deliberating whether Biles-Thomas might have been acting in self-defense influenced their thinking.
