A transgender member of a cultlike group facing murder charges was ejected from a courtroom for a second time on Tuesday over an outburst about his treatment in jail.
Alexander Leatham, a man who identifies as a woman, accused officers of not respecting his stated female gender in a California facility while shouting words from a written statement on paper, according to media reports. Leatham is one of several followers of the “Zizians,” a movement centered around veganism and other causes and linked to at least six murders.

Leatham and another defendant were charged in 2022 in a violent attack on a California landlord who tried to evict Zizian members living in box trucks on his property. Leatham is accused of attempted murder, as well as murder stemming from the death of a Zizian member the landlord killed in self-defense, for which Leatham is being held culpable, Courthouse News reported.
Leatham’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Zizians have never publicly made their goals clear, but their leader is a trans-identifying male who once wrote a blog promoting veganism, “punching Nazis” and other ideas, plus concerns about artificial intelligence’s effects on humanity. Maryland police arrested him and other followers in February after a resident reported they were camping on his property in box trucks with a load of weapons for unknown reasons.

Leatham was last booted from a court proceeding in March after he reportedly began shouting and resisting officers who tried to bring him in via wheelchair.
“This is a show trial to coordinate the genocide of transgender people!” Leatham yelled over and over.
