Luis Bracamontes has admitted in court hearings that he shot and killed two Sacramento-area deputies in October 2014, and as his trial got underway Tuesday in Sacramento, Calif., he giggled and claimed he wishes he had “killed more of the motherf**kers.”
Sam Stanton is covering the trial for the Sacramento Bee.

Bracamontes’ latest outburst comes in front of jury as prosecutor Rod Norgaard is describing the events of Oct. 24, 2014, that left two deputies dead. Bracamontes appears bemused, smiling throughout much of the presentation.

Bracamontes has made outbursts many times before, but this the first time media cameras have been present to record it. Bracamontes ic closely guarded, shackled at his waist and flanked by 2 deputies right behind him.

Another outburst from Bracamontes as prosecutor describes him wounding one deputy: “Cuz he’s stupid,” Bracamontes says, smiling. “Be silent,” Judge Steve White says sternly. This folos lots of giggles and smiles from defendant. Might be a long day.

The statement came during an extraordinary opening day during which the proceedings devolved into a spectacle of the defendant threatening to kill more people, giggling as a prosecutor described his crime spree and his own lawyers once again questioning his sanity.
“I wish I had killed more of the mother——-,” he boasted to the jury as prosecutor Rod Norgaard described the outbreak of violence.
Smiling broadly, Bracamontes added, “I will break out soon and I will kill more, kill whoever gets in front of me … There’s no need for a f—— trial.”
Bracamontes, 37, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, is charged with killing two deputies, shooting a motorist in the head to steal his car, and wounding another deputy. His wife is also on trial for assisting him.
