Man Kills Himself In Court After Hearing Prison Sentence. by Weedkhalifa(f): 2:44am On Jun 18, 2016 |
A man in a Taiwan courtroom committed suicide after hearing his prison sentence over marijuana charges reported the Taipei Times. The Taipei Times reported the man was 41-year-old U.S. citizen Tyrel Martin Marhanka, who had lived in Taiwan for over 15 years where he was married to a Taiwanese woman and had a son in second grade and a daughter in kindergarten said court officials. Marhanka was standing trial for marijuana possession as well as other narcotics for which he was arrested last year in April. The Taipei Times reported more than 200 cannabis plants, 195 dried cannabis plants and 10 opium poppies, were discovered by police at a rented house. Despite the large amount of drugs Marhanka reportedly told police the plants were for his personal use and that he grew them as a "hobby." Related The grisly suicide happened Thursday morning. Witnesses said the judge read the sentence, which was then told to Marhanka by a translator. Marhanka was reportedly heard saying, "Four years?" Marhanka was also reportedly heard saying "I don't want to appeal" when the translator told him he could appeal the ruling. "I don't want to live anymore," Marhanka yelled, according to witnesses, as he took out two metal objects (one in each hand) and stabbed himself on both sides of the neck. Marhanka severed arteries with witnesses saying blood was gushing. The metal objects were identified as a pair of scissors Marhanka had separated. He died about 30 minutes after reaching the hospital said medics. In a press conference Thursday afternoon held by the district court, presiding judge Wang Yi-min said the court was going to improve the court's building security by installing an X-ray machine.

Weedkhalifa:Say what you will but this is a man who really wanted to die. He prepared for the verdict and planned his next move accordingly. There is something admirable about a man going out on his own terms. Respect! 5 Likes

What of the judgement waiting for him in heaven... I might sound religious, but trust me, heaven and hell are real. He killed himself because he's a spoilt brat. 4 years of prison sentence, that he could still appeal and get like 1-2 years and get out of prison in less than a year with good behaviour. . . instead he killed himself, he's a weakling, not a man at all. . . If he knew he was so weak, why was he growing drugs in the first place. . . not everywhere is yankee. . . 4 Likes |

There was a time I was tired of living and wanted to commit suicide but I didn't know how to do it and there was no any experienced person that could put me through |

He exclaimed "4 years" because he knew serving a 4 year jail term without smoking his weed for a day or a week would be a living hell. That explains why he took his own life. 1 Like |

Double wahala for dead body. Was it a life sentence or capital punishment that would make him take his life & to think he has the opportunity to appeal? This is surreal. |

blackberlin:Just because you believe something does not make it true. Your believe in heaven and hell is your own subjective reality. The beginning of religious extremism (both Muslim and Christian) starts when you judge others according to your own religion. The man wanted to die and he found a way to do it. C'est fini. Shikina. End of matter. |

BabaAlabi: I understand your views and I'm not forcing mine on you, so let's not go there. However, the truth remains that what he demonstrated was weakness. . . no strength in suicide. Now he has left his family in tragedy and left a stupid story. . . When they ask his child in school "how did your father die" what's his/her answer gonna be? He committed suicide because he didnt wanna appeal a 4-year court sentence over cannabis? Stop celebrating mediocrity. . . 1 Like |

blackberlin:At least we have gotten religion out of the way . I disagree with your statement connoting that there is no strength in suicide because people's perception of strength is relative. Suicide is having the balls to take matters into your own hands. To take control. He received a sentence he did not like and did something about it rather than futilely appealing for mercy. One problem with Nigerians and Africans is that we have suffered so much and enjoyed life so little that the thought of death absolutely terrifies us. Some people have no problem with dying. Let them be. |

BabaAlabi: You analyse your perspective without reference to the sorrounding entities. He left a family in tears, over an issue with an available solution. Your philosophical approach is commendable, but not effective without proper governing dynamics. How efficient is a suicide over such a meagre issue? That's the point. . . |

queenoflafia: I'm glad you are still there living your life. I promise you that one day, you'll be glad you stayed alive. Sometimes it gets really worse before things turn up for the best. You just have to survive the worse phase. *Cheers* |
