New Orleans man disrupts Jefferson Parish court by rubbing feces on his facePublished: Monday, August 08, 2011, 5:46 PM Updated: Monday, August 08, 2011, 7:04 PMPaul Purpura, The Times-Picayune By Paul PurpuraA New Orleans man with a history of faking mental illness awaiting trial for robbing his employer in Metairie two years ago disrupted judicial proceedings in the Jefferson Parish Courthouse on Monday after authorities believe he defecated in his jail-issued jumpsuit and then coated his bearded face with his feces.Deshaun Griffin, 26, formerly of 1250 South Johnson St., was sentenced to six months in jail by Judge Lee Faulkner of the 24th Judicial District Court, who held the inmate in contempt of court because of his actions.While sitting in the jury box with other jailed inmates as lawyers and the judge tended to the docket, witnesses said Griffin quietly rubbed his cuffed hands together, leaned over and rubbed his face with his palms and fingers. He sat up with the fecal matter covering his face like "icing on a cake," a witness said.Meanwhile, Matt Goetz, a Jefferson Parish public defender, was speaking with a client in the jury box near where Griffin sat when the strong odor quickly permeated the courtroom."At first, I thought he was a burn victim, with some kind of salve on his face," Goetz said. "It was almost unbearable."
