Americans on social networks are indignantly discussing the behavior in court of 32-year-old Bionka Ellis, who several days ago killed a 3-year-old boy with a knife and wounded his mother in a supermarket parking lot in a suburb of Cleveland (Ohio).

The accused grinned and made eyes at the cameraman who was filming her. The father of the murdered Julian Wood, a professor, asked several questions, asking: “How long can we keep this monster behind bars.” They write that Ellis will check for shiftability; she has several minor aspects of law under her belt. The death penalty exists in Ohio law, but execution of such sentences is suspended indefinitely.
