The knife-wielding maniac who slashed a crew of court officers in a shocking Manhattan courthouse attack ranted against the system in a series of bizarre handwritten notes, prosecutors said. Jonathan Wohl, 37, carried a notebook and scraps of paper during the “premeditated” Monday morning slashing, where he jotted, “Give me liberty or give me death,” and railed against the justice system, prosecutors said at his arraignment Tuesday. “One of the pages marked both give me liberty or give me death in large print,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Taylor Holland said in court.
