Mr. Dinkins is enjoying his tenure as the focal point of this trial. He can't get enough of the attention. I feel sorry for him, in 5 years he is going to understand this is not the best avenue of courtroom behavior. Live and learn(or maybe not). That prosecutor has Mr. Dinkins right where he needs him to be.

Convicted hit man James Dinkins fired a string of slurs at a federal prosecutor Tuesday morning, calling the man a "bootlicker" and warning him to "stay away" from the defense side.

Both East Baltimore men were found guilty last week of murdering three men, including two witnesses, and running a drug conspiracy.
