SEE Shocking Moment Murder Trial Defendant Smiles And Sticks Tongue Out At Victim's Family In Court

A man accused of murder has taunted the dead man's family as he appeared in court yesterday. Antonio Horton Beatty,21, was charged with first degree murder in the death of Carlton Walker Whitley,25, who was shot dead at a car park after an argument in Wilmington North Carolina in July.

But shockingly during his brief appearance in front of the judge, Beatty repeatedly turned around and smiled at Mr Whitley's family including his fianceé Octavia Bryant as she held their five-month-old daughter, Chastity.

And even more cruelly, he stuck his tongue out at them as he was led from the dock.
