Judge Fred Lauten warned Loyd, 41, numerous times against cursing at him or others in the courtroom following Loyd’s expletive-laden outbursts during his initial court appearances earlier this month. Lauten ordered that Loyd be allowed to speak to a family member to help decide if he would like an attorney for future court dates. Lauten questioned Loyd on a variety of court minutiae to show Loyd there were areas where a lawyer may be helpful. He is accused in the killing of Lt. Debra Clayton outside a Walmart store and in the death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, last month. Orlando Police Chief John Mina said a use-of-force investigation is being done, although no officer has been placed on leave.
