A MAN'S TRIAL for rape and murder had to take place without him present in court l after he repeatedly disrupted proceedings with profane outbursts. Isaiah Kalebu, 25, from the South Park area Seattle, was removed from the courtroom and restrained in a different room in the courthouse. King County Superior Court Judge Michael Hayden took the unusual action when Kelebu ignored directions to remain silent during proceedings and continually yelled expletives.
Crazy Kalebu was able to watch the trial via
closed circuit TV. He is charged with aggravated murder, attempted murder, rape and burglary in what prosecutors are calling a random attack. Kalebu is accused of raping Teresa Butz and her partner over a two-hour period before slashing their throats. Butz, who died in the attack managed to create a diversion that enabled her partner to escape. Her dying words to neighbours who found her were, "he told us if we did what he asked us to do, he wouldn't hurt us. He lied, he lied."
