It took about five seconds from the time Siale Angilau grabbed a pen from his defense attorney’s table for him to run across the courtroom floor and sail headfirst into the witness stand, where he was fatally shot by a U.S. Marshal.
Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court released surveillance video of the 2014 shooting on Monday, nearly four years after the 25-year-old defendant was shot four times.
Angilau, who had been a member of Salt Lake City’s Tongan Crip Gang, was on trial for racketeering on April 21, 2014, when a former gang member, Vaiola Tenifa, began to testify for the prosecution.
