The shocking moment of a man accused of raping a 10-year-old girl before killing her and her grandparents, plummeting to his death from the forth floor of a court balcony where he was to stand trial was caught on camera. Robert Seman Jr, 48, was set for trial this week at the Mahoning County Courthouse in Youngstown, Ohio, over the deadly arson when he threw himself from the fourth-floor.
Seman faced the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder charges in the March 2015 deaths of 10-year-old Corrine Gump, 63-year-old William Schmidt and 61-year-old Judith Schmidt.
In the short clip, Seman is first seen walking out of the courtroom with two officers. He then slows down, allowing the officer who was behind him to draw level with him.
He then took three steps to his right, before throwing himself over the low railing.
