Landon Copeland, caught on video brawling with cops at the Capitol, has been interrupting hearings for other Capitol defendants. His case has finally been called, and it’s not going well.

“I’M GOING TO TELL THE TRUUUUUTTTTHH,” he yells at the clerk.

Two f-bombs so far. Make that three. Make that four. This isn’t going well. Read @pbmelendez for the rundown on what happened so far. https://www.thedailybeast.com/landon-kenneth-copeland-utah-man-charged-with-assaulting-police-during-capitol-riots-loses-it-in-court?ref=home?ref=home

COPELAND: “I don’t like you people... you’re a robot to me... you can’t come get me if I don’t want you too... Fuck all of you... Fuck all of you...”

An hour later, the Copeland hearing is back. He is now trying to lecture the court (incorrectly) thinking they read the wrong case number.

“Fuck all of y’all, I am so fucked off right now.”

Court mutes him.

There’s now a mute battle.

As soon as he’s muted, he unmutes.

Court figured out how to permanently mute him, and we’re now moving along.

Copeland’s attorney said he believes his client is in crisis, at which point Copeland disconnected.

"I don't think he's being belligerent intentionally, I think he's having a crisis," his attorney said.

Copeland is back on and starts cursing immediately. He’s yelling again, court orders him muted. Then he hung up again. Judge is preparing to issue an order for a competency screening.

“You’re honor, I think we all need court-ordered massages after today,” one person jokes as we wait more discussion on a competency screening.

Going under seal (aka into a breakout room) for discussion about health issues.

Judge says the appropriate next step is to refer Copeland to behavioral health authorities for a remote competency screening and then set another status hearing. Finds him eligible for court-appointed counsel.

Competency hearing set for the 19th. Hearing (finally) concluded.
