Attorney Marc J. Victor Interviewed about Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting suspect Esteban Santiago
Esteban Santiago allegedly opened fire in a baggage claim area after retrieving a handgun from his checked luggage in the airport’s second Terminal.
Officials said it is still unclear why the shooter picked the Fort Lauderdale airport and what his motivation was to attack.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel appeared Sunday morning on the Local 10 News show “This Week In South Florida” to speak about the shooting.
He said Santiago told investigators that a chip was placed in his head by an agency.
“The CIA or some agency had put a chip in his head and they were programming him and they forced him to watch a video on ISIS, and that changed and (he) said he was paid a certain amount of money by ISIS an hour or two later, so at this point we really don’t know,” Israel said.
Attorney Marc J. Victor who represented Dr. Peter Steinmetz, who was arrested at Sky Harbor Airport for carrying his AR-15 Rifle peacefully and who was later cleared of all charges was interviewed about the shooting.
“There’s no problem with peaceful, competent people carrying firearms anywhere,” said Victor.
“That’s the way you stop the bad guy with a gun, with a good guy with a gun” Victor added.
Joey Hamby and Andy Marcantel did an outstanding job in not only representing the family member in court but also researching all aspects of the case prior to trial. These two experienced trials tested lawyers spent hours with us in preparation to make sure they had all the facts in the case to defend the family member in the best possible way. Those hours paid off from not only working to select the best jurors possible and arranging the correct witnesses to testify on my son's behalf but also defending his rights before the judge and making a solid defense in front of the jury. We want to thank Joey and Andy for walking with us through this horrible ordeal and being at our side every step of the way.
In a serious felony case like this one, you want the best representation possible. We selected the absolute best in Attorneys for Freedom!
