WILMINGTON, N.C. – A man accused of killing a Wilmington man showed no remorse during his first court appearance on Tuesday morning. This is just evil.
As he walked into the courtroom Antonio Beatty, 21, smiled and then stuck out his tongue at the victim’s family, according to WECT.
Beatty was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 25-year-old Carlton Walker Whitley in July.
Whitley’s fiancee, daughter and sister, who were all in the courtroom Tuesday, were furious about Beatty’s actions.
“I feel like justice needs to be served. He don’t care obviously. He showed that his self in court that he don’t care, that he don’t have no remorse for what he did, and he needs to be charged,” Whitley’s fiancée, Octavia Bryant told WECT.
The family of the suspect (Antonio Beatty) say they are sorry for his actions and believe he isn’t fully responsible for Carlton Whitley’s death.
