The warning comes after Darnell Young appeared to be trying to intimidate one of his cousins called to the stand as a witness for the prosecution on Friday.

Young, 18, and Charles Cox, 35, are facing multiple charges in the carjacking and murder of Anthony Tolson.

On Monday, the judge also had to admonish Cox for looks he was allegedly giving his girlfriend who has also been called as a witness.
