   DAYTONA BEACH — Alan Miller McCarty watched most of his trial Thursday morning from behind one-way glass in a small room after yelling at, interrupting and crudely insulting the presiding judge. 
   
   By mid afternoon McCarty was found guilty on all charges related to his threats to kill another judge who ruled in an earlier custody case involving McCarty. 
   
   The jury of three women and three men took about 30 minutes to find McCarty guilty of two counts of threats or extortion and two counts of corruption by threat against a public official. Besides threatening the judge, McCarty also threatened a pair of dispatchers in the phone calls. 
   
   When the guilty verdicts were read, McCarty was unusually quiet as he sat flanked by deputies. McCarty faces up to 40 years in prison when he is sentenced by Circuit Judge Matt Foxman. Foxman’s next sentencing date is set for Oct. 12. 
   
   McCarty, 36, also faces more charges since he is also accused of calling Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare and threatening staffers there. 
   
   The move earlier in the day to the adjacent room didn’t help much as McCarty continued to shout expletives, curse the presiding judge, the witnesses and the entire judicial system. 
   
   Everyone in the courtroom — Judge Foxman, attorneys and the jurors — could hear McCarty’s screams, which included offensive expletives. He railed that he was not allowed to present evidence. He screamed that his “papers” had been taken away. He yelled that his attorney was not asking enough questions. And he hollered that his children had been unfairly taken away from him. 
   
   McCarty, who was on suicide watch at the Volusia County Branch Jail, refused to dress as defendants typically do for their trials, in shirt, tie and dress pants. Instead, McCarty remained in his jail-issued orange jumpsuit. Also unlike a typical trial, McCarty wore a pair of handcuffs in view of the jury. 
   
   McCarty’s morning outbursts included his derisive invitation to the judge to perform oral sex on him. Foxman politely declined by saying, “I prefer not to.” 
   
   After McCarty kept screaming, Foxman ordered him into the small room with the one-way glass. McCarty remained there through most of the trial in handcuffs and accompanied by a pair of deputies. 
   
   The judge told the jurors that McCarty had chosen to be in the room to which McCarty could be heard screaming that he did not and that his rights had been taken away. 
   
   “No I have not!” McCarty screamed from behind the mirrored glass. 
   
   The jurors did not appear to be fazed by McCarty’s screaming. They didn’t even appear to look back to the mirror-like glass where the shouting was coming from. 
   
   McCarty, of Milton in Santa Rosa County, was arrested on Sept. 30. He made phone threats toward Circuit Judge Stasia Warren, who ruled in his earlier custody case. 
   
   McCarty was flanked by several deputies when the judge permitted him to return to his seat in the courtroom near Assistant Public Defender Ryan Belanger. He told jurors that he was upset that Warren was allowing that his ex-wife get his kids. 
   
   That’s why he said he had made the calls in which he threatened to kill Warren. 
   
   One juror seemed to have a pained expression on her face during McCarty’s testimony. 
   
   Throughout the trial the judge, the jurors, attorneys and deputies were patient and professional in the face of McCarty’s insults or outbursts. 
   
   In a press release after the verdict, State Attorney R.J. Larizza said that McCarty’s “vulgar and threatening racist rants were as chilling and offensive as any I have ever heard. Threatening Judges is an attack on the very heart of our Criminal Justice System.” 
   
   Belanger said during his closing argument that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and McCarty was a very squeaky wheel. He said McCarty felt he had no other choice since he was losing his children when he made the threats in the calls. 
   
   Assistant State Attorney Ashley Terwilleger, who prosecuted the case along with MaryCatherine Crock, said that McCarty’s words mattered and that Warren was fearful that McCarty would make good on his threats. She also said McCarty’s children had been in Texas since about 2007 and he had not seen them for two years before his arrest last year. 
   
   As he was questioned by Belanger, McCarty said his statements on the phone calls were just words. McCarty said he didn’t mean it, just like Foxman didn’t mean it, McCarty said, when the judge on Monday threatened to have the defendant’s mouth taped shut if he didn’t behave during the trial. 
   
   Foxman did not follow through on the duct tape but the courtroom was staffed with extra deputies. And while McCarty did not have any adhesive tape around his mouth he did wear an electric belt under his jumpsuit that would allow a deputy to deliver a stunning zap if needed. 
   
   McCarty called dispatchers on Sept. 29 and threatened Warren, who hears juvenile delinquency and dependency cases. 
   
   “Where’s your Judge Warren at?” McCarty is recorded telling dispatchers. “You’re going to bring that (expletive deleted) out in handcuffs and I’m going to (expletive deleted) execute that (expletive deleted) right in the (expletive deleted) street.” 
   
   Judge Warren took the stand in the morning and testified that she had been frightened when she was told of the threats McCarty had made against her life. 
   
   McCarty was in the small room while Warren testified and would occasionally shout out something. He called Warren “an (expletive) liar” at one point during the morning. 
   
   Warren started to say something directed at McCarty, but Belanger objected and Foxman sustained it. 
   
   As McCarty was about to be escorted out of the courtroom, he said he wanted to press charges against Foxman. McCarty said Foxman had threatened him with taping his mouth shut. 
   
   The judge told him one of the bailiffs would take the report from him as McCarty was led out of the courtroom and back to jail. ||||| DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for threatening to kill a judge he believed ruled against him in his custody case. 
   
   The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports 36-year-old Alan McCarty Jr. spent much of the hearing in an adjacent room with a speaker and one-way glass, just like he did during his trial, after unleashing a fresh stream of obscenities Wednesday at the judge, the prosecutor and even his own public defender. 
   
   McCarty was convicted last month of threatening to kill Circuit Judge Stasia Warren last year when he mistakenly blamed her for taking his kids away in a custody case. 
   
   A prosecutor's statement says the 20-year sentence will give McCarty ample time to reflect on the seriousness of his threats against the judicial system.
target: – Florida's Alan McCarty has made clear he does not like judges, and he will spend the next 20 years in prison as a result. The 36-year-old received the 20-year sentence this week—along with an extra 10 days for contempt of court, a penalty more serious than it sounds—for calling 911 last year and promising to kill a judge he mistakenly believed had ruled against him in a custody case, reports the Daytona Beach News Journal. During Wednesday's sentencing in front of a different judge, Matt Foxman, McCarty had to be removed from the courtroom as Foxman listed his offenses. “What a bunch of (expletive) lies you stupid piece of (expletive),” McCarty yelled. “You threatened my life, (expletive, expletive). (Expletive) you, you (expletive, expletive).” Foxman explained that he was tacking on the 10-day contempt of court sentence for a variety of reasons, including one particular McCarty outburst during the trial. “You also offered me to perform a sex act upon you, which I politely declined and still do to this day for whatever that’s worth,” Foxman said. The extra 10 days will be served when the 20-year sentence is done, and it's no small thing, explains the News Journal. It means that McCarty won't be able to participate in a work-release program while in prison. McCarty also was convicted of threatening 911 dispatchers, reports GateHouse Media Florida, which notes that because of his courtroom behavior, McCarty had to observe most of his trial from behind one-way glass.
