Woman Accused of Stabbing 3-Year-Old and Mom Smiles, Giggles in Court

Three-year-old Julian Wood and his mother Margot were in the parking lot of an Ohio grocery store when Bionca Ellis, 32, allegedly attacked them with a knife. Julian was severely wounded and died at the hospital. His mom is expected to survive. During her arraignment, Ellis refused to cooperate via video stream, so the judge brought her into the courtroom to hear the 10 charges against her. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber analyzes Ellis’s bizarre courtroom behavior with Ohio trial attorney Diane Menashe.

Lady, you couldn't be MORE INCORRECT. Bipolar people, when manic, are still able to control themselves in dire situations that call for serious, appropriate adult behavior. They don't giggle when hearing about a child's life coming to an end.

[@tammycalhoun9584]

I think she’s familiar with what is expected of her in the courtroom which is exactly why she’s whispering. She murdered a child for no reason at all! None that would come close to excusing her in any way! She’s obstinate and evil and has zero remorse. I’ve known enough bipolar people as well as non bipolar diagnosis. These diagnoses are irrelevant… this is pure evil with or without a bipolar diagnosis.. PERIOD!

[@اميرمادرا]

Me to my friend l hope the kid rest in peace

[@Liesl-Yvette]

Actually, when she smiles it looks as though she is listening to an internal conversation. I wonder if she is schizophrenic. She is not smiling inappropriately, she is smiling at what is being said in her head. Its very sad. If she had gotten proper care, that little boy would still be alive.

[@traiuslove78]

This is what I think it is. She doesn’t seem normal and bipolar isn’t the diagnosis I would give her. She seems schizophrenic for sure. As if she’s following orders of the voices she hears. I am not in anyway excusing her behavior. What she did was cruel. I strongly feel she has a mental illness that went untreated.

[@silence6408]

She's not. It was a hate crime.

[@noahramirez2505]

[@noahramirez2505]

​@silence6408 well, there really wouldn't be any way to know unless you were a medical professional and actually studying and diagnosing this individual. I think she does look like she's talking to someone else, or having some other internal dialog but hey.. what do I know, I'm just bipolar myself.

[@queenbae8040]

Exactly. The lady is a nut case. I find it crazy that people will allow school shooters to say they were mental...but they will jump in the comments here and say she is not mental. Smh this lady is nuts. Regardless it was wrong and she deserves to never see the light of day. But that doesn't excuse that she may still be a mental case

[@mariahazcueta3621]

Stop using mental health to shield people from their bad actions

[@shilohaugust6749]

Easy Dr Phil, if you don't have a mental illness or understand a mental illness, read up on said illness before saying stop using a mental illness to shield people from their bad actions. If a person has a mental illness and haven't been diagnosed or not medicated, how's that a shield?

[@shilohaugust6749]

Unless you suffer from a mental illness or understand that said mental illness, read up on it before making such comments. So if a person is mentally ill and hasn't been diagnosed and not medicated and they commit a violent crime, how is that a shield? This is why we that do suffer from mental illness in this country are failed.

[@tiffanybluetarot]

Everybody’s so quick to try and give her a ‘diagnosis.’ Why is it so difficult for people to realize and admit - EVIL EXISTS. BAD PEOPLE WHO COMMIT HORRENDOUS CRIMES DON’T NECESSARILY HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS. I used to think that ‘normal’ people didn’t do awful things like this, but trust and believe when I say there are SERIAL KILLERS WHO ARE 110% SANE.
