If I were the judge. Before sentencing, I would order the guards to give their batons to the victims families and then order the guards to leave the court room. Then I would say I expect this matter to be resolved in no more than 15 minutes. The I would leave the court room and come back in 15 minutes for the sentencing (if any is required).
