On Friday June 25, 2010, Oakland resident Timothy Killings who was watching the Johannes Mehserle trial could not contain himself in court and shouted out to Mehserle, "save those fucking tears" when he was testifying about shooting Oscar Grant. 

During direct examination by Michael Rains, Mehserle began to sob when talking about shooting Grant with his weapon. The family and other court room spectators where not moved by Mehserle's display of emotion and Grant's mother, Wanda Johnson, got up and walked out of court. 

Killing was released from the Los Angeles County jail on Monday and was back at the court house on Tuesday morning to support justice for Oscar Grant.  He cannot visit the court room and he has been barred from the 9th floor.
