On April 10, 2017, inside the Mahoning County Courthouse in Youngstown, Ohio, 48 year old Robert Seman Jr. was being led to a holding cell following a status conference.
Seman, to put it lightly, was a psychopath. For five years, he raped Corrine Gump, starting when she was only four years old, and ending when she was nine.
In March 2015, on the day that the now 10 year old Corrine was due to testify against him in court, he burned her house down, killing her, as well as her deaf grandparents, identified as 63 year old William Schmidt, and 61 year old Judith Schmidt.
If he was convicted of the murders, he would have likely been given the death penalty.
According to many people present at the conference, Seman was in good spirits, and didn't seem to have any warning flags of a suicide showing. Sheriff Jerry Greene said "He was talking about the future of his trial, and he just decided to jump."
Also, the video had no audio, so I put music over it.

Find it hard to believe he has committed 3 murders and is allowed to roam the courthouse freely without shackles cuffs on? How the fuck was he not in jail awaiting trial at the time?

He was in jail, his bond was revoked after he burned down the house.
It's unconstitutional to use shackles universally on pre-conviction, there has to be a risk to require them and it generally has to be in individual cases.

I think the risk in this case is he is a murderer and could potentially be a suicide risk that proves correct with this video
