Tat’s unfair – slay officer’s raging att’y
AN ATTORNEY BLEW a gasket Monday when a Brooklyn judge told him he couldn’t smear the man his off-duty cop client is charged with killing.
Tensions erupted in Brooklyn Supreme Court when attorney Stephen Worth suggested that Delrawn Small — gunned down by NYPD cop Wayne Isaacs in a fit of road rage — was “antisocial” because he had a tattoo on his body that said, “Go f--k yourself.”
Justice Alexander Jeong the jury for a short break.
“How is this relevant, Mr. Worth?” the judge asked.
“This shows he’s an antisocial individual,” the defense attorney said, his voice rising. “What kind of person gets ‘Go f--k yourself’ on their body . . . You kept out his whole criminal record and this is in the autopsy report,” the heated attorney responded.
Isaacs, 38, faces 25 years to life in prison if found guilty of seconddegree murder. Prosecutors said the off-duty cop cut Small off as he drove home after a shift at the 79th Precinct just after midnight July 4, 2016. When Small, 37, approached the off-duty cop’s window, Isaacs opened fire and hit the Brooklyn dad three times, according to prosecutors.
Isaacs said that Small punched him and he pulled the trigger in self-defense.
Jeong ordered Worth’s question stricken from the record and denied his request to have the entire Small autopsy tossed out. excused
